[SOLVED] zimlet - no such zimlet:

[jodonova]

Hi,
I am trying out some of the example zimlets on the Zimlet Developer's guide. I am running ZD 1.0.4 on XP and am testing by simply dropping the zimlet in a .zip file into the _dev directory and refreshing the browser. I have tried the following zimlets :

* Simple Tool Tip [works]
* Custom Tool Tip [does not work]
* Simple On Click [works]
* Menu Items with URL actions (via XML) [works]
* Menu Items with URL actions (via JavaScript) [does not work]

Basically, any of the zimlets using just just the xml defiinition file work, whereas the others which use the definition file plus javascript give the following error in the log :

2010-03-23 15:16:07,815 INFO  [btpool0-19] [] zimlet - no such zimlet: com_zimbra_example_menuitemsjs

Has anyone encountered this before ?

Many thanks in advance,
Jonathan

I figured out what the problem was - the .zip file (for example the .zip file from the examples zimlets in the Zimlet Developer's Guide) needs to be extracted so that the whole directory structure is under the _dev folder.

For some reason, you don't have to unzip the .zip file when it only consists of the .xml definition file, but otherwise, you do.... (at least in XP)
