Content Action Event

Applies to

6.0+

Overview

A few content actions in Authoring Modules publish an event called /authoring/contentaction/, which provides clients with several properties.

The following content actions publish this event:

• Publish
• Save
• Delete
• WorkFlow Submit
• WorkFlow Cancel
• Approve
• Reject

This allows clients to create custom behavior that happens after an above content action.

Components

There is technically only one required component for this feature - code that subscribes to the /authoring/contentaction/ event. From there, it is up to you how you want to use the payload provided.

Example

In this example I am showing a modal that displays the item's contents. The Javascript code is placed inside of digitalworkplace.custom.js, and HTML is placed inside AdditionalMasterMarkup.html.

Javascript

Akumina.Digispace.AppPart.Eventing.Subscribe("/authoring/contentaction/", (contentAction) => {
      document.getElementById("authoring-events-content").textContent = JSON.stringify(contentAction, undefined, 2);
      $("#authoring-events-overlay").show();
      $("#authoring-events").show();
});

HTML

<div id="authoring-events-overlay" class="akv-modal-overlay" style="display: none"></div>
<div id="authoring-events" class="akv-modal akv-left-layer akv-modal-center akv-modal-small-medium" style="height: unset; display: none">
    <header class="akv-modal-header ">
        <div class="akv-modal-header-title-wrapper">
            <h2>Authoring Events</h2>
        </div>
        <div class="akv-modal-header-right-wrapper">
            <div class="akv-modal-actions">
                <button class="akv-modal-close" onclick="onCloseAuthoringEvents()">
                    <i class="fa-regular fa-xmark" aria-label="Close"></i>
                </button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </header>
    <section class="akv-modal-content ">
        <pre id="authoring-events-content">
        </pre>
    </section>
    <footer class="akv-modal-footer">
        <button class="akv-btn-form akv-primary" onclick="onCloseAuthoringEvents()">Close</button>
    </footer>
</div>
<script>
    const onCloseAuthoringEvents = () => {
        $("#authoring-events").hide();
        $("#authoring-events-overlay").hide();
    }
</script>

Payload

The ContentAction property contains a string that tells you what exactly the action was:
