How do I specify Bookmark-Folder?

[former_member204578]

Hi,

I have created an application with multiple components and now I want to create a (portable fragment) bookmark of each component.

With Bookmark.PortableFragmentBookmark.saveBookmark("Test", Component, "BookmarkTitle") I have created the bookmark in the root directory (Analysis Application Bookmarks).

But how can I save the bookmark in a different folder, e.g. "Analysis Application Bookmarks/Sales"?

With Bookmark.PortableFragmentBookmark.assignToFolder it should be possible, but how do I get the folderID and bookmarkID?

Isn't it possible to define the folder directly when I save the bookmark?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Based on the BIAL script methods it doesn't look like you can save a bookmark directly to a specific folder at the time of creation.  It would be a two step process as follows:

(a)  First save into the default root folder with Bookmark.PortableFragmentBookmark.saveBookmark()

(b)  Then reassign the bookmark to the desired folder with Bookmark.PortableFragmentBookmark.assignToFolder(folderId, bookmarkId)

The bookmarkId parameter in (b) can be obtained from the PortableFragmentBookmarkInfo.id object element returned by the saveBookmark() method in (a).

I think the best way to allow the user to choose the appropriate bookmark folder and obtain the folderID parameter value for step (b) above is as follows:

i.  Retrieve the bookmark folder structure as a Tree Model using the Bookmark.getBookmarkFoldersTreeModel() method

ii.  Assign the Tree Model to a Tree component with setModel()

iii.  Obtain the selected folder ID in the "On Select" event script of the Tree component using the getSelectedValue() method

Regards,

Mustafa.

Hi Tammy, hi Mustafa,

thanks for your answers.

I have already implemented it as you can see in the attached file.

I just hoped that there is an easier way but I can use this workaround as well.

because I have nearly 100 components it is a bit of work.

but when i save Bookmarks with the same Group identifier in the corresponding Folder I think I can reduce the rows of Scripting.

By the way:

I will use this PortableFragmentBookmarks in a Fragment Gallery so that the enduser can place the Bookmarks in a splitcellcontainer.

what is the right technique to save the state of the splitcellcontainer that I can load this state at next Startup?

will this be a Bookmark or a Fragment Bookmark?

should i save the splitcellcontainer as a user-specific Bookmark and load this Bookmark on Startup?

Christoph - Kevin's code in this discussion thread identifies a way of finding the folder ID How to transport Bookmark folders? | SCN - maybe make use of that to find a way to save to a specific folder?  I haven't tried it myself but it's a consideration.
