Zimlet to prepare a formated email

[kaltera]

Hi,

I'm not very confident with developpement in general and specially with javascript but I need to develop a zimlet which can prepare a formated mail with only a signle click on the zimlet icon.

I'm lost in the documentations, indeed as someone that doesn't like code

Do you know how to do a simple zimlet like this ?

What I'd like is a simple zimlet that can send an email to "a" with a body and subject that I can edit in the code

Is it simple to do that ? I tried to understand some codes from other zimlets that were sending e-mails but I cound't make it to work correctly

Thank you

Regards

Hi kaltera,

It is very simple.
There was a thread about this already :
opening-new-message-dialog-zimlet.html

I made a zimlet example using the code given in this thread :

Thank you very much tdesorbaix, that's exactly what I was looking for and it works perfectly!!

Do you know,based on that zimlet, how to generate a number which is increased by 1 everytime it is used and placed in the mail subject ?

I don't know if a Zimlet is smarter enough to keep in mind a number

Cheers,
Yohann

Yeah, it is also very simple.
The number will be reset to 1 when you disconnect from your session or when you refresh your zimbra in the browser.

Here is the modified version :

Thank you for the answer, it is quite clear to me now !!

And if I don't want to reset that value to 1 ? I'd like to do this in particular :

User A sends mail with subject : Subjet #1
User B sends mail with subject : Subject #2
User A sends mail with subject : Subject #3
User C sends mail with subject : Subject #4

If I do not set the Compose_Mail_Example.count to 0, will that value stay as the last value for each user not depending on any session opened ?

If you want that the count is not for one user, but for all the users of the server, you have to store the value on the server side.
The javascript is executed on the client side, so you can't do it directly in the javascript file.
You ll have to use a jsp page (executed on the server side) for example called in your javascript file.
