Hello All,

I have CMS_INPUT_PERMISSION element in the metadata and the i have few roles are there. Now I want to uncheck the Check box of "Define Permission" (Which is highlighted in the below image). I tried it through the bean shell but i couldn't able to that.

Please find my code for uncheck the "Define Permission " below

context.getStoreElemet ().getMetaFormData ().get (context.getProject ().getMasterLanguage (),"portal_roles").get ().setInherited (false);

But the above didn't uncheck the "Define Permission" check box.

Please let me know if there is any other way to change the state of the "Define Permission" check box.

Thank you,

Vasandharaj.

Hello Vasandharaj,

first of all you have to lock the StoreElement you want to edit:

elem = context.getStoreElement();

elem.setLock(true);

Then you have to retrieve the FormData, apply your changes and set the FormData back to the StoreElement. You want to set inherited to true to uncheck the checkbox.

formdata = elem.getMetaFormData();

roles = formdata.get(context.getProject().getMasterLanguage (),"portal_roles").get();

roles.setInherited(true);

elem.setMetaFormData(formdata);

The last step is to save and unlock the StoreElement:

elem.save();

elem.setLock(false);

After refreshing the element in the GUI you will see your changes.

Hello Donato,

After releasing the lock I plan do the refresh the element through API. But I tried the few method in the API, it doesn't help me.

elem.refresh ();

elem.refresh (true);

elem.refresh (true, false);

elem.refreshWithReferences ();

But nothing seems to be working ..

Any other way to implement the refresh the element through API ???

Thank you in advance.

Hello Donato,

FS Server Version: 4.2.476.52922.

I need to "reject the defined rights" (CMS_INPUT_PERMISSION) of the each and every Page reference in the site store through the API

  metaFormData = pageRefElement.getMetaFormData ();

  roles = metaFormData.get (masterLang, "portal_roles").get ();

  pageRefElement.setLock(true);

                              roles.setInherited(true);

                              pageRefElement.setMetaFormData(metaFormData);

                              pageRefElement.save ();

                              pageRefElement.release (false);

                              pageRefElement.setLock(false);

                              element.refresh ();

but the last line (page refresh is not working as intended)

Thank You,

Vasandharaj.

Hello Vasandharaj,

Why do you want to refresh the element?

The refresh() method on an element loads the last saved version of this element from the server. But since you just edited the element and then saved it, the client already has the last saved version of this element. Calling this refresh() method only updates the data in your client with the data from the server. It does not refresh the GUI, if it's this what you would like to do.
