[SOLVED] Help with Zimlet to compose email and set subject

[uxbod]

Hi,

I am trying to follow some of the code for adding a zimlet button to generate a new email and set the subject field. So far I have

com_uxbod_sendfax = function() {
};
com_uxbod_sendfax.prototype = new ZmZimletBase;
com_uxbod_sendfax.prototype.constructor = com_uxbod_sendfax;

com_uxbod_sendfax.prototype.initializeToolbar =
function(app, toolbar, controller, viewId) {

    if (viewId.indexOf("COMPOSE") >= 0) {

        var buttonIndex = -1;
        for (var i = 0; i < toolbar.opList.length; i++) {
            if (toolbar.opList[i] == ZmOperation.VIEW_MENU) {
                buttonIndex = i + 1;
                break;
            }
        }

        var buttonArgs = {
            text    : "Send Fax",
            tooltip : "Uxbod Send Fax Facility",
            index   : buttonIndex,
            image   : "zimbraicon"
        };

        var button = toolbar.createOp("UXBOD_ZIMLET_SENDFAX_BUTTON", buttonArgs);
        button.addSelectionListener(new AjxListener(this, this._showSelectedMail, controller));
    }
};

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

I refresh ZWC but I do not see the button appear, and if I click on new message then nothing happens. Thoughts on what I have done wrong please ?

Getting a little further by studying rrao's template zimlet. What I am struggling with now is how to position the button. I would like it to always come after the Option button in the mail compose window. Though how would one find the correct identifier ? I tried VIEW_OPTIONS but then the button did not show at all. If I set the variable index to say 4 it positions in the middle

Hi uxbod,

How about this?
I have tried something like this in my zimlet.

var buttonIndex = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < toolbar.opList.length; i++) {
if (toolbar.opList[i] == "COMPOSE_OPTIONS") {
buttonIndex = i + 1;
break;
}
}

Thanks Slight mod and it is now working

var buttonIndex = 0;
                for (var i = 0; i < toolbar.opList.length; i++) {
                                if (toolbar.opList[i] == ZmOperation.COMPOSE_OPTIONS) {
                                        buttonIndex = i + 2;
                                        break;
                                }
                }

I wish the variable options were exposed in a wiki document somewhere.
