Admin Extension fail view

[deugenin]

I'm writing an Admin Extension for a Domain view.

I saw Admin Extension from wiki: Extending Admin UI - Zimbra :: Wiki

I did deploy my new Extension successfully, but when i want to see my new "Devel" tab, is clear.

I should see the DomainName and a TextArea.

Can you help me with my Admin Extension?

Thanks

It looks like the problem is in the tab definition. You have

var myTab = [
{type:_SWITCH_, items:[
{type:_CASE_, relevant: ("instance[ZaModel.currentTab] == " + myTabIndex),
items:[
{ ref: ZaDomain.A_domainName, type:_OUTPUT_,
label:ZaMsg.Domain_DomainName
},
{ ref: ZaDomain.A_notes, type:_TEXTAREA_,
label:"Texto Devel", labelCssStyle:"vertical-align:top", width:250
}
]
}
]
}
];

but you should have:

var myTab = {type:_CASE_, relevant: ("instance[ZaModel.currentTab] == " + myTabIndex),
items:[
{ ref: ZaDomain.A_domainName, type:_OUTPUT_,
label:ZaMsg.Domain_DomainName
},
{ ref: ZaDomain.A_notes, type:_TEXTAREA_,
label:"Texto Devel", labelCssStyle:"vertical-align:top", width:250
}
]
};


because items array and SWITCH element are already defined in the original form in ZaDomainXFormView, and your extension only needs to add one more tab.

Thanks for your reply Greg, but I still with the problem... :-(

Mi new Tab its appears on Domain view, but OUTPUT and TEXTAREA it's not appears (the tab is clear)...


Mi devel.js is:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function DevelExtension() {}

DevelExtension.DomainXFormModifier = function (xFormObject) {

//find _TAB_BAR_ element
var cnt = xFormObject.items.length;
for(i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
if(xFormObject.items[i].type=="tab_bar") break;
}
//get a tab index
var myTabIndex = ++ZaDomainXFormView.TAB_INDEX;

//add a tab
xFormObject.items[i].choices.push({value:myTabIndex, label:"Devel Tab"});

//define a form for my new tab.
var myTab = {type:_CASE_, relevant"instance[ZaModel.currentTab] == " + myTabIndex),
items:[
{ ref:ZaDomain.A_domainName, type:_OUTPUT_,
label:ZaMsg.Domain_DomainName
},
{ ref:ZaDomain.A_notes, type:_TEXTAREA_,
label:"Texto Devel", labelCssStyle:"vertical-align:top", width:250
}
]
};

//find SWITCH element
for(i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
if(xFormObject.items[i].type=="switch") break;
}

//add my tab to the form
xFormObject.items[i].items.push(myTab);
}

ZaTabView.XFormModifiers["ZaDomainXFormView"].push(DevelExtension.DomainXFormModifier);

I updated the guide to creating admin extensions on the wiki Extending Admin UI - Zimbra :: Wiki

and added a general guide to the admin framework:

Ok, I figured it out. The problem is that in 4.5.7 ZaDomainXFormView.TAB_INDEX global variable is not defined, I added it only in 5.0 branch. Instead, we used hard-coded tab indexes. So, in order to make it work you need to change this line

var myTabIndex = ++ZaDomainXFormView.TAB_INDEX;

to this

var myTabIndex = 6;
