Activate/de-activate from search results?

[Rakesh Vidyadharan]

Is there an easy way to perform node activation/de-activation from search list?  None of the magnolia modules seem to expose this (they seem to be falling back to navigate to node feature for that).  Our tree is very large, so navigation to node takes a lot of time, hence the decision to try and stick with only a search based interface.  I did not see anything obvious, but is there some mgnlActivate or some such easy to use JS function?

Thanks in advance for all help and tips.

I got it to work by implementing an activate function in the JS file as:

activate: function()
  {
    if ( document.mgnlForm && document.mgnlForm.searchStr )
    {
      document.location = contextPath +
                          "/.magnolia/pages/bookSearchList?searchStr=" +
                          document.mgnlForm.searchStr.value + "&activate=true" +
                          "&path=" + this.selectedPath + "&nodeName=" + this.nodeName;
    }
  },

I also added a check for these parameters in the search list constructor:

    final String path = request.getParameter( "path" );
    final String nodeName = request.getParameter( "nodeName" );
    final String activate = request.getParameter( "activate" );

    if ( path != null && nodeName != null && activate != null )
    {
      activate( path, nodeName );
    }

Activate works now, and since the search is repeated, I get the updated status icon in the search results.

I have created http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Activate+from+search+results+tree with most of the code I used.  I have one more question related to this.  How do I handle activation errors?  I need to pop up an alert or similar if activation does not succeed.
