Add Flickr Zimlet

[mmorse]

That's fine, it simply depends on when you originally installed; newer installs make use of the %USERPROFILE% environmental variable for the path, thus data is stored in your profile so we can have multiple desktop users on one machine down the road.

Don't ZIP the files

create the dir
_dir
in
<PATH_TO_ZIMBRA>/zimbra/zdesktop/jetty/webapps/service/zimlet/

in _dir create a dir for your zimlet, says com_zimbra_hworld

in the folder com_zimbra_hworld put your development files, the next time that zimbra desktop restart you will find your zimlet in the zimlets' drop menu.

I am getting the same message following the instructions as noted above.

Those steps are incorrect. You should be on <bla/bla/zdesktop> (and not bla/bla/zdesktop/zimlet) folder when you run your commands.

The correct steps are listed here:

I'm trying to install the meebo zimlet, but obviously with the release of ZD 7.0 libraries and deps are updated. My exact install is "zdesktop_7_0_1_b10791_win32"

Here is my attempt at updating the command above:

java -cp jetty\lib\log4j-1.2.16.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-httpclient-3.1.jar;jetty\common\lib\mail.jar;jetty\common\lib \commons-logging.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-codec-1.4.jar;jetty\common\lib\json.jar;jetty\common\lib\dom4j-1.5.2.jar;jetty\common\lib\zimbracommon.jar;jetty\we bapps\service\WEB-INF\lib\zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy zimlets\com_zimbra_meebo.zip

The resulting error is:

Running command from "d:\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\" which is my chosen install location.

Any ideas?

Googled the error and found a reference to google-collect-1.0-rc1.jar

So i downloaded the google java src at:

Downloads - gdata-java-client - Google Data Java Client Library - Google Project Hosting

and extracted google-collect-1.0-rc1.jar to jetty\webapps\service\WEB-INF\lib\

and now I get error:

Edit by mmorse:
v3 for both Email Reminder & Birthday Reminder for Zimbra Desktop usage are in the gallery.

This code helped me a lot, thanks mate!

I'm having some significant grief installing zimlets into ZDC 7.1.2 in a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server environment. ZDC installed fine but had only a handful of zimlets. I copied the rest of our zimlet zip files into an appropriate directory.

After struggling to find the new libraries not listed in the above commands (my ignorance of java probably), I came up with:

java -cp jetty\lib\log4j-1.2.16.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-httpclient-3.1.jar;jetty\common\lib\zimbra-native.jar;jetty\common\lib\gdata-core-1.0.jar;jetty\common\lib\guava-r09.jar;jetty\common\lib\mail.jar;jetty\common\lib \commons-logging.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-codec-1.4.jar;jetty\common\lib\json.jar;jetty\common\lib \dom4j-1.5.2.jar;jetty\common\lib\zimbracommon.jar;jetty\ webapps\service\WEB-INF\lib\zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=data\conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy ZimbraZimlets\ch_bnc_asterisk

to use the asterisk zimlet as an example. This was run from "D:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop"

However, it generates the following errors:

What is causing this and how can I fix it? I am running this as administrator because, I am assuming, the clients would not have rights to install into the ZDC installation directory. However, administrator does not have a Zimbra mail account. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks - John

After having done run this failing command, users could no longer open ZDC. After a maddening, inconsistent, and hours long effort at trying to restore access which I will record under Unable to launch Zimbra Desktop we were able to get users running again.

To just get the zimlets we absolutely needed, we installed them on a per user basis via the ZDC preferences and, to our surprise, they worked. So I am guessing that deployed zimlets are not stored under zimlets-deployed in the installation directory as we did not see them there and did not want to see them there lest regular users have access to areas we don't want them to access on a multi-user system.
