Content Editor:Ribbon - Scripts do not have access to the Selected Item from content Editor

[jasonchester]

Forgive me if I am missing something but when launching a script from the content editor ribbon i would expect to have access to the item selected in the content editor.

Example Ribbon Script:

"input: " + $input
"input[0]: " + $input[0]
dir variable:

URL captured in Browser Missing Id:

http://.../sitecore/shell/default.aspx?xmlcontrol=PowerShellRunner&id&db&lang&ver&scriptId=%7BDF525740-8A1A-455F-871A-A7B857E2789E%7D&scriptDb=master

Script Output where PWD is C:\windows\system32\inetsrv:

input:
input[0]:

Hi Jason,

You have indeed found a bug in the ribbon synchronization script that got exposed due to how Sitecore 8 changed its controls naming. I believe this worked in Sitecore 7 fine when button id's were named differently. Thank you for reporting that!

If you can open the following script: /sitecore/system/Modules/PowerShell/Script Library/Platform/Internal/Integrations/Content Editor Ribbon

And change the line 60 from:

$button.Click = "item:executescript(id=`$Target,script=$($script.ID),scriptDb=$($script.Database.Name))"

to

$button.Click = "item:executescript(id=`$ItemID,script=$($script.ID),scriptDb=$($script.Database.Name))"

Changing the token from $Target to $ItemID and synchroniza the integration points again this should start working.

Fixed.
