zimlet with compose toolbar button

[ruddy32]

Hi,
I'm trying to add a new custom button in the email compose toolbar. The button seems to be add by the javascript module, but the button does not appear in the toolbar.
I have the same behavior using the sms simlet that I use as source code example.
Is it a zimbra bug? A problem with my zimbra server configuration?
Thanks.

SMS Zimlet needs to be upgraded to work for 6.x. In 6.x we support multiple compose (and compose in tabs). Also in 6.x we have a newer api initializeToolbar that helps to easily add toolbar buttons.

The code below adds button to compose

com_zimbra_hellotoolbarbtns.prototype.initializeToolbar =
function(app, toolbar, controller, view) {

	//for compose view since 6.x supports multiple compose tabs(and has dynamic ids)	that look like “123_COMPOSE_DWT123”
	if(viewId.indexOf("COMPOSE")  >=0){
		//get the index of View menu so we can display it after that.
		var buttonIndex = -1;
		for (var i = 0, count = toolbar.opList.length; i < count; i++) {
			if (toolbar.opList[i] == ZmOperation.VIEW_MENU) {
				buttonIndex = i + 1;
				break;
			}
		}
		//create params obj with button details
		var buttonArgs = {
			text    : "Toolbar Button",
			tooltip: "This button shows up in Conversation view, traditional view, and in convlist view",
			index: buttonIndex, //position of the button
			image: "zimbraicon" //icon
		};

		//toolbar.createOp api creates the button with some id and  params containing button details.
		var button = toolbar.createOp("HELLOTEST_ZIMLET_TOOLBAR_BUTTON", buttonArgs);
		button.addSelectionListener(new AjxListener(this, this._showSelectedMail, controller));
	}
};

com_zimbra_hellotoolbarbtns.prototype._showSelectedMail =
function(controller) {
	var message = controller.getMsg();
	appCtxt.getAppController().setStatusMsg("Subject:"+ message.subject);
};
