Description

Definition File
Below is the Zimlet Definition File. Notice we include the compiled template with an <include>
element:
<zimlet name="com_zimbra_tabtemplate" version="0.1" description="Demos a tab application with a template"> <include>com_zimbra_tabtemplate.js</include> <include>templates/Tab.template.js</include> <handlerObject>com_zimbra_tabtemplateHandlerObject</handlerObject> </zimlet>
Handler Object
Below is a snippet from the Handler Object from the zimlet JavaScript file. In zimlet init()
, the "tab" application is created. The newly created application name is returned and set as a local zimlet property _simpleAppName
for later use.
/** * This method gets called by the Zimlet framework when the zimlet loads. * */ com_zimbra_tabiframeHandlerObject.prototype.init = function() { this._simpleAppName = this.createApp("Tab iFrame App", "zimbraIcon", "An app in a new tab"); };
In this snippet, when the tab application is launched, HTML code (that produces an iframe
) is loaded into the tab application content:
/** * This method gets called by the Zimlet framework when the application is opened for the first time. * * @param {String} appName the application name */ com_zimbra_tabiframeHandlerObject.prototype.appLaunch = function(appName) { switch (appName) { case this._simpleAppName: { var app = appCtxt.getApp(appName); // get access to ZmZimletApp app.setContent("<iframe name=\"tabiframe-app\" src=\"http://www.yahoo.com/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" /></iframe>"); // write HTML to app break; } } };
