AEM 6 SP2 - Classic UI Restrict Moving Folder with N level Subfolders in Damadmin

Goal

Restrict moving folders with deep nesting and thousands of assets, triggering resource intensive processing in CRX

Demo | Package Install


Error when Subfolder Levels > 1 





Move in Tree Not Allowed

Solution

1) Login to CRXDE Lite, create folder (nt:folder) /apps/classicui-restrict-folder-move

2) Create clientlib (type cq:ClientLibraryFolder) /apps/classicui-restrict-folder-move/clientlib and set a property categories of String type to cq.widgets

3) Create file ( type nt:file ) /apps/classicui-restrict-folder-move/clientlib/js.txt, add the following

                         restrict-move.js

4) Create file ( type nt:file ) /apps/classicui-restrict-folder-move/clientlib/restrict-move.js, add the following code

(function () {
    if (window.location.pathname !== "/damadmin") {
        return;
    }

    var NESTING_ALLOWED = 1, TREE = "cq-damadmin-tree";

    /*//the original move dialog fn
    var cqMoveDialog = CQ.wcm.Page.getMovePageDialog;

    //override ootb function
    CQ.wcm.Page.getMovePageDialog = function (path, isPage) {
        var dialog = cqMoveDialog(path, isPage);

        function handler(isNotAllowed) {
            if (isNotAllowed) {
                CQ.Ext.Msg.alert("Error", "Moving Folder with > " + NESTING_ALLOWED + " level subfolders, not allowed");
                dialog.close();
            }
        }

        isMoveAllowed(path).then(handler);

        return dialog;
    };*/
