Remove Links Trigger

(Nic Hubbard) #1

In working with the remove links trigger, it seems there is a need for an additional Parameter that dynamically replaces the "As linked to the Broadcasting Asset, which also resides under the Root Node", so, essentially the root node. In my case, I want to use the current user, so, in /core/assets/system/triggers/trigger_action_types/trigger_action_remove_links I am editing trigger_action_remove_links.inc.


On line 352, I have added: 


    $attr_parameter_map->setParameter('root', 'Root Node');


After adding that, the new option shows up in the Remove Links trigger parameters.

My questions is, where in the trigger_action_remove_links.inc file, is the code that corresponds to the "As linked to the Broadcasting Asset, which also resides under the Root Node" root node, which I want to replace with the newly added "root" parameter? I can't seem to find it.

Any suggestions or help on this would be wonderful!

Proabably not the best translation, but the contents of this fields is written out as part of the locale string "trigger_remove_link_basic".
Each of these translate() calls also takes an argument or two for the relevant form fields.

This interface is set up and returned from line 377 (line begins with "$contents = ").

Mark, I have understood that so far. The part I am interested in is $basic_part_4 which contains the parameter map. When adding a new parameter map item, $attr_parameter_map->setParameter('root', 'Root Node');, how do I associate code to this, to make that selection function and override the default "As linked to the Broadcasting Asset, which also resides under the Root Node"?

Gotcha. The execute() function obtains the value set from the Parameter Map, should there be a matching GET / POST etc. value for an item.

This is demonstrated for the "Candidate Assets" item which is obtained from the Parameter Map on line 76:

    $map_assetid = $attr_parameter_map->getParameterValue('asset');

If this value is NULL, then the Trigger Action should defer to the static Root Node. In keeping with other areas of Matrix which use dynamic root nodes, I would recommend checking that the supplied dynamic root node resides underneath the static one and failing the action should this not be the case. I hope this helps out.

Ah, I see. I am starting to wrap my mind around this. Thanks!
