Simplest Zimlet…

[iconverged]

Ok, I have read the pdf on creating zimlets, looked at the other ones as examples and I must not understand something basic. Based on my limited knowledge, should the code below not open a window with website which is listed as the target?

#####copy below this line#############

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_myzimlet" version="0.1" description="myzimlet">

<summary>
This Zimlet will provide a link to the company website.
</summary>

<include> </include>
<includeCSS> </includeCSS>

<zimletPanelItem label="MyZimlet">

<toolTipText>
Click this to open Website
</toolTipText>

<doubleClicked>

<canvas type="window" width="300" height="300">
<actionUrl method="get" target="http://www.cnn.com">
</actionUrl>
</canvas>

</doubleClicked>


</zimletPanelItem>

</zimlet>

I am using the latest version of the Open Source Edition on CentOS 5 64bit.
When I double click a small dialog box appears with "preferecnes" and two buttons OK and Cancel.

Any help will be gratefully welcomed.

Try

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_myzimlet" version="0.1" description="myzimlet">

<summary>
 This Zimlet will provide a link to the company website.
</summary>

<include> </include>
<includeCSS> </includeCSS>

<zimletPanelItem label="MyZimlet">

        <toolTipText>
        Click this to open Website
        </toolTipText>
        
        <userProperties>
               
                <canvas type="window" width="300" height="300">
                <actionUrl method="get" target="http://www.cnn.com" />
                </canvas>
        </userProperties>
        
</zimletPanelItem>        

</zimlet>

I have attached a screen shot of what I get when clicked. Just for additional knowledge this is a fresh install, so not sure if there are any permission issues I have not dealt with?

this is normal that this panel appear. It is the preference panel that is configured by default to pop-up on a double click.
To open the window with a single click :

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_myzimlet" version="0.1" description="myzimlet">
<summary>
 This Zimlet will provide a link to the company website.
</summary>
<include> </include>
<includeCSS> </includeCSS>
<zimletPanelItem label="MyZimlet">
        <toolTipText>
        Click this to open Website
        </toolTipText> 
        <onClick>        
                <canvas type="window" width="300" height="300">
                <actionUrl method="get" target="http://www.cnn.com" />
                </canvas>
        </onClick>     
</zimletPanelItem>        
</zimlet>

For a double click, replace <onClick> by <onDoubleClick>.
With <onDoubleClick> it will open a new window but you will also get the preferences panel.
To configure the event for the double click, the best is to use a js file.

Tested it.
There was an error since the beginning with the canvas tag.
Here is the correction :

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_myzimlet" version="0.1" description="myzimlet">
<summary>
 This Zimlet will provide a link to the company website.
</summary>
<include> </include>
<includeCSS> </includeCSS>
<zimletPanelItem label="MyZimlet">
        <toolTipText>
        Click this to open Website
        </toolTipText> 
        <onClick>        
                <canvas type="window" width="300" height="300" />
                <actionUrl method="get" target="http://www.cnn.com" />
        </onClick>     
</zimletPanelItem>        
</zimlet>

To get around this problem, you need to both define an onDoubleClick action in the .xml file and do some JS to override the prefs screen:

Define a JS handler in the .xml file:

<handlerObject>Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet</handlerObject>

Define both click and doubleclick actions:

<onClick>        
    <canvas type="dialog" title="My Zimlet" width="800" height="400" />
    <actionUrl method="get" target="https://myhost.com" />
</onClick>     
<onDoubleClick>        
    <canvas type="dialog" title="My Zimlet" width="800" height="400" />
    <actionUrl method="get" target="https://myhost.com" />
</onDoubleClick>

Setup a stub .js file for the handler that does nothing on the doubleClick event:

function Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet() {
}

Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet.prototype = new ZmZimletBase();
Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet.prototype.constructor = Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet;

Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet.prototype.init = function() {
	if (ZmAssistant && ZmAssistant.register) ZmAssistant.register(new Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet());
};

// Called by the Zimbra framework when the panel item was double clicked
Com_MyCompany_MyZimlet.prototype.doubleClicked = function() {
};

There is an open bug for this:
