Toolbox.xml - v.3.7.1 Question

[Henry Versemann]

Is it possible in the backend to somehow get a listing of all the tools available in Toolbox.xml, or view a listing in the backend under one of the different tabs?

 

Need to maybe send a new form to an email address within our domain.

 

Thanks for responding.

There is but you would need Java Code in a plugin to list it from the Velocity Engine

As Jason said, you would need a plugin to get at the list of viewtools in the toolbox.xml file your server is actually using.

You could cheat a little by uploading the toolbox.xml as a file within your dotCMS folder tree (in the site browser), and then using the XMLTool to parse it out.  The code would look something like this (with the toolbox.xml file loaded into the /demos folder):

#set($results = $xmltool.read("https://demo.dotcms.com/demos/toolbox.xml"))
<ul>
#foreach($toolbox in $results.children().iterator())
    #set($toolboxXML = $xmltool.parse($toolbox))
    #foreach( $tool in $toolboxXML)
        #set($toolXML = $xmltool.parse($tool))
        <li>$tool.key.text:</li>
        <ul>
            <li>Scope: $tool.scope.text</li>
            <li>Class: $tool.class.text</li>
        </ul>
    #end
#end
</ul>

The obvious limitation, however, is that if the toolbox.xml on the host is updated and you don't upload the changes into the version in your dotCMS folder structure, then the list won't be up to date.
