So I have been able to figure out in Alfresco, there is a form called skin.css that allows me to change the highlighted color of data table items. However, I only want to be able to change this property during the course of a workflow and not as it applies to all data list elements throughout the entire Share website.
To start, I have a script which kicks off based on a rule and moves any updated/new files into a specified folder and then kicks off a workflow for that file. Within starting the workflow, the package items list is populated with all the documents within the same folder as the document that just got moved/the workflow started on. Below is the script:
function main()
{
var counter=0;
//Administrative Adjudication space/folder MUST exist under companyhome.
var rootSpaceName = companyhome.childByNamePath("mainFolder");
//If the rootspacename is null (not previously created), then exit the program as we have nothing to do.
if(rootSpaceName == null)
{
logger.log("Company Home/mainFolder does not exist, so we have nothing to do.");
return;
}
else
{
logger.log("Company Home/mainFolder exists, so carry on our process.");
//Creates an array of all the children under the rootSpaceName
var childList = rootSpaceName.children;
//Creates a variable which counts the number of children in the childList array
var count = childList.length;
//var seconds = new Date().getTime() / 1000;
//If there are no children in the rootSpaceName folder, exit the program.
if(count == 0)
{
logger.log("Company Home/mainFolder does not have child, nothing to do.");
return;
}
else
{
for(var i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
//Title MUST exist.
var childTitle = childList[i].properties["hearing:childTitle"];
//Author MUST exist.
var childAuthor = childList[i].properties["hearing:childAuthor"];
logger.log("childTitle: " + childTitle);
logger.log("childAuthor: " + childAuthor);
if(childTitle == null || childAuthor == null)
{
logger.log(i + ". Both the childTitle and childAuthor are null...");
continue;
}
var child = childList[i];
if(child.isContainer == false)
{
for(var j = 0; j < count; j++)
{
var newChildName = childList[j].properties.name;
logger.log("New child name: " + newChildName);
var newChild = childList[j];
if((newChild.isContainer == true) && (childTitle == newChildName))
{
logger.log("There is a currently existing folder with the same name as the title of original child");
var newSpaceName = rootSpaceName.childByNamePath(newChildName);
var newChildList = newSpaceName.children;
var newCount = newChildList.length;
for(var k = 0; k < newCount; k++)
{
var newNewChildName = newChildList[k].properties.name;
var newNewchildAuthor = newChildList[k].properties.author;
var newNewChild = newChildList[k];
if((newNewChild.isContainer == true) && (newNewchildAuthor == childAuthor))
{
var currentSpace = newSpaceName.childByNamePath(newNewChildName);
if(child.isDocument == true)
{
//Only want the workflow to run once so we increment count
counter=counter+1;
child.move(currentSpace);
//If Count is 1, then run workflow
if(counter==1)
{
//starts HelloWorldUI workflow
var wfdef=workflow.getDefinitionByName("activiti$helloWorldUI");
if(wfdef)
{
var wfparams=new Array();
wfparams["bpm:workflowDescription"]="";
wfparams["bpm:groupAssignee"]=people.getGroup("GROUP_Managers");
var wfpackage=workflow.createPackage();
var rootSpaceName=currentSpace;
var childList=rootSpaceName.children;
var count=childList.length;
//add all existing documents in the space to the workflow
for(var i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
wfpackage.addNode(childList[i]);
}
var wfpath=wfdef.startWorkflow(wfpackage,wfparams);
var tasks=wfpath.getTasks();
for each(task in tasks)
{
task.endTask(null);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
else
{
// If title folder is already created, not need to create again.
var newSpaceName = companyhome.childByNamePath("mainFolder/" + childTitle);
if(newSpaceName == null)
{
newSpaceName = rootSpaceName.createFolder(childTitle);
logger.log("mainFolder/" + childTitle + " is created.");
}
// If author folder is already created, not need to create again.
var newNewSpaceName = companyhome.childByNamePath("mainFolder/" + childTitle + "/" + childAuthor);
if(newNewSpaceName == null)
{
newNewSpaceName = newSpaceName.createFolder(childAuthor);
logger.log("mainFolder/" + childTitle + "/" + childAuthor + " is created.");
}
if(child.isDocument == true)
{
counter=counter + 1;
child.move(newNewSpaceName);
if(counter == 1)
{
var wfdef=workflow.getDefinitionByName("activiti$helloWorldUI");
if(wfdef)
{
var wfparams=new Array();
wfparams["bpm:workflowDescription"]="";
wfparams["bpm:groupAssignee"]=people.getGroup("GROUP_Managers");
var wfpackage=workflow.createPackage();
var rootSpaceName=newNewSpaceName;
var childList=rootSpaceName.children;
var count=childList.length;
//add all items from the space to the workflow
for(var i = 0; i <c ount; i++)
{
wfpackage.addNode(childList[i]);
}
var wfpath=wfdef.startWorkflow(wfpackage,wfparams);
var tasks=wfpath.getTasks();
for each(task in tasks)
{
task.endTask(null);
}
}
}
logger.log("Moving file " + child.properties.name);
}

return;

main();
I would like to be able to create a function of some sort that can be called to access the skin.css file only during the course of the workflow and basically set .yui-skin-default tr.yui-dt-first{background-color:#FFF} in the CSS file. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that?
skin.cssfile to a new CSS file, modifying the one section i need, and toggling between the old and new file within the workflow. – This 0ne Pr0grammer Sep 14 '12 at 15:53
