Well this couldn't have come at a better time for me, and this and the recent "example" zenpack have made things so much easier!

Thanks to you guys I'll hopefully have some "public-quality" zenpacks to release soon!

Regarding the "MenuExamples", though, were you able to get the "myFooterMenu.js" example to work correctly?  I noticed it was commented in the configure.zcml file, and the GUI wouldn't render correctly once i uncommented it. 

I'm looking for the way to add new entries to the "add components" menu at the bottom left of the Device Status page and was hoping that this example would point me in the right directon.

I'm using 3.1 to develop against...may upgrade to 3.2 today or tomorrow.  Looks like you're much further along than me.  i've been looking through the source code since yesterday at any references to 'footer_bar', but i'm not a JS expert by any means and haven't been able to make any progress yet.  Hopefully someone can chime in here and enlighten us.

Thanks to you I've been able to get most of what I want by looking at your examples. Thank you so much for putting this zenpack together it's been very helpful!

I've run into a situation that I thought I saw you had dealt with before, but now I can't find the post. I've made my own Menu (like your "My Example Menu 1"--v3 version with "My Example One Menus from Objects"). 

Unlike your menu item, however, mine is a form submit dialog (2 actually, one to create the component and the other to delete selected).  These function as intended, meaning I can add and delete the components. 

The problem I have, though, is that after submission the device status page is loaded into the right-hand pane of the page (see screen below).  Like I said I think i saw you deal with the same situation, but can't find it now.  Do you remember what you did?

Here's what I'm seeing:

I'm pretty sure it must be the target URL in this line:

<input type="submit" name="deleteURLs:method" value="OK"

tal:attributes="onclick string:return $$('dialog').submit_form(

                        '${here/absolute_url_path}')" />

but I've tried many different things and can't figure out what it should be...

Thanks for your help,

Joseph

Thanks for your input...i am happy to share (it's a community Zenpack i'm working on anyway -- nothing fancy, just something i've wanted to do for a while (treat monitored URLs as device components that can be added/removed easily, since I have a lot of boxes that need multiple URLs monitored)

I'm using 2 "old-style" dialogs (haven't been able to get new ones to work yet) located in the /templates subfolder,

the one to add:

<tal:block metal:use-macro="here/templates/macros/page2">

<tal:block metal:fill-slot="contentPane">

<h2>Add URL</h2>

<form method="post" name="manage_addHttpComponent" tal:attributes="action context/absolute_url_path">

<table>

<tr><td>

    <span id="new_id_label" style="color:white;">Name: </span>

</td><td>

    <input id="newId" name="id" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

    <span id="httpurl" style="color:white;">HTTP GET:  </span>

</td><td>

    <input name="httpUrl" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

    <span id="httpjsonpost" style="color:white;">HTTP POST:  </span>

</td><td>

    <input name="httpJsonPost" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

    <span id="httpport" style="color:white;">Port:  </span>

</td><td>

    <input name="httpPort" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

    <span id="httpauthuser" style="color:white;">User:  </span>

</td><td>

    <input name="httpAuthUser" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

    <span id="httpauthpassword" style="color:white;">Password:  </span>

</td><td>

    <input name="httpAuthPassword" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<tr><td>

    <span id="httpfindstring" style="color:white;">String Match:  </span>

</td><td>

    <input name="httpFindString" style="width:120px">

</td></tr>

<div id="dialog_buttons">

<input tal:attributes="type string:submit;

                value string:OK"

                name="manage_addHttpComponent:method" />

<input tal:attributes="id string:dialog_cancel;

                        type string:button;

                        value string:Cancel;

                        onclick string:$$('dialog').hide()" />

</div>

</table>

<br>

</form>

</tal:block>

</tal:block>

and the one to delete:

<h2>Delete URLs</h2>

<br/><br/>

<p>

Are you sure you want to remove these URLs?<br/>

</p>

<br/>

<div id="dialog_buttons">

<input type="submit" name="deleteURLs:method" value="OK"

tal:attributes="onclick string:return $$('dialog').submit_form(

                        '${here/absolute_url_path}')" />

<input tal:attributes="id string:dialog_cancel;

                        type string:button;

                        value string:Cancel;

                        onclick string:$$('dialog').hide()" />

</div>

Hopefully you or someone else will be able to spot some obvious flaw that I can fix.  The code "works" in that the components are added/removed and monitored as planned, but the post-submit redirect is giving the problems.

Thanks,

Joseph

Hi Jane,

I saw your post that you had made progress on this front, but I hadn't had time to parse though what you had accomplished yet.  Thanks for taking a look at my code and I hope that it helps to facilitate learning how to do the menu adds/deletes.  I have it stored on github.com and available here:

https://github.com/j053ph4/ZenPacks.community.zenHttpComponent

but if you like i can pull together a tar file with the code and post it somewhere...

I was thinking of taking another look at Egor Puzanov's RDBMS zenpack as well...I'm not using it at the moment, but in the 2.5.x versions he had methods for manually adding/deleting databases that i'm not sure whether or not they carried over into the 3.x versions.

Anyways I definitely wish you luck since I would really like to know how to modify the menus as well.

Thanks,

Joseph
