using login gata

[erme2]

Hi,
I'm writing an application outside zimbra, I'm tryng use zimbra login in to my app. So I wrote:

PHP Code:

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_testapp" version="0.1" description="testapp">
    <zimletPanelItem label="testApp">
        <toolTipText>test app</toolTipText>
        <onClick>
            <canvas type="dialog" title="testApp" width="800" height="300" />
            <actionUrl target="http://externalpage.go" method="post">
                <param name="user">${prop.userName}</param>
                <param name="type">${prop.userType}</param>
            </actionUrl>
        </onClick>
    </zimletPanelItem>
</zimlet> 


I've got two problems:
1 - ${prop.userName} -> It's wrong I know, but what's right?
2 - I've put method="post" on "actionUrl" but I always read params in $_GET

Thanks

1 - ${prop.userName} -> It's wrong I know, but what's right?

What do you want to get here?
a single username created for zimbra to interact with the external app?
or the username of the user that click on the zimlet?

2 - I've put method="post" on "actionUrl" but I always read params in $_GET

Yeah, the method="post" doesn't work.
I think there is already a bug about it in bugzilla.
For now you will have to use javascript if you want use POST.

I need the username of the user that click on the zimlet... I'd like something like user@domain.com, and the user type (is he an administrator? - but I don't need it at all)

(I know I need a "Zimlet for DUMMIES"! )

If you want the username, you wont be able to get it with the xml file alone.
You will have to use a js file to get it.
You can get the username in the js file with this :

var username = appCtxt.getUsername();

Ok, now I can read the username using javascript :

PHP Code:

Com_Zimbra_MyApp.prototype.singleClicked = function() {
    var userName = appCtxt.getActiveAccount().name;
} 


I also modified the zimlet.xml file:

PHP Code:

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_testapp" version="0.1" description="testapp">
    <zimletPanelItem label="testApp">
        <toolTipText>test app</toolTipText>
          <canvas type="dialog" title="testApp" width="800" height="300" />
            <actionUrl target="http://externalpage.go" method="post">
                <param name="user"></param>
         </actionUrl>
    </zimletPanelItem>
</zimlet> 


Now I'd like to set the right value on the param and then open the canvas using the same javascript event ...

If you use javascript, you can't use the xml file to define the window opening, you should do it in the javascript too.

Supposing that your js file is named testapp.js, here is some code that should work :

com_zimbra_testapp.xml :

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_testapp" version="0.1" description="testapp">
	<include>testapp.js</include>
	<handlerObject>Com_Zimbra_MyApp</handlerObject>		
    <zimletPanelItem label="testApp">
        <toolTipText>test app</toolTipText>
    </zimletPanelItem>
</zimlet>

testapp.js :

function Com_Zimbra_MyApp() {
};
Com_Zimbra_MyApp.prototype = new ZmZimletBase();
Com_Zimbra_MyApp.prototype.constructor = Com_Zimbra_MyApp;
Com_Zimbra_MyApp.prototype.singleClicked = function() {
    var userName = appCtxt.getActiveAccount().name;
	var view = new DwtComposite(this.getShell());
	var el = view.getHtmlElement();
	var div = document.createElement("div");
	var url = 'http://externalpage.go/?user='+userName;
	div.innerHTML='<iframe name="" src="' + url + '" scrolling="no" height="300" width="800" FRAMEBORDER="no"></iframe>'; //CONTENT OF THE DIALOG BOX
	el.appendChild(div);
	//TITLE OF THE DIALOG BOX
	var dialog_args = {
		title : "testApp",
		view  : view
	};
	//CREATION OF THE  DIALOG BOX
	var dlg = this._createDialog(dialog_args);
	dlg.popup();
}
