Using 16.1 template in own apps

[sneakyX]

Hello 2 all,

I want to integrate my invoice program a bit more into egroupware, but
all information I found on the egroupware.org page seems to be outdated.

I have 2 questions:

First, I’d like to use the left navigation bar and the popup messages -
like in “E-Mail send”. Is there a documentation for using this?

Second, I’d like to send an email with an attachment from my invoice
program using the mail app of egroupware. Is there a possibility to do this?

If someone is interested in my invoice programm, source code is here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/rosin/

Ready-to-use docker image is here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/sneaky/egroupware-extended/

Thanks for Your answers and suggestions

André

Hello 2 all,

I want to integrate my invoice program a bit more into egroupware, but
all information I found on the egroupware.org page seems to be outdated.

Yes, it is.

http://community.egroupware.org/index.php?page_name=wiki&wikipage=ApplicationDevelopmentGuide

In general, your best approach is to find an existing app that does what
you want, and copy part of it.

First, I’d like to use the left navigation bar

Putting a regular menu in the sidebox is fairly easy:
http://community.egroupware.org/index.php?page_name=wiki&wikipage=App-Titles+and+iDots+Sidebox+Menu
N.B that the file name requirement has been removed, just set the hook in
setup.inc.php appropriately.

Getting fancy with an etemplate in the sidebox is a little more difficult
(eg. calendar, mail, projectmanager ), and I would have to carefully go
through one of those apps if I had to do it again.

and the popup messages -

like in “E-Mail send”. Is there a documentation for using this?

“popup messages” is a little vague.
I’m pretty sure the email compose is just a normal popup.
Notifications (eg: “4 entries deleted”) can be done using:

Framework::message(…);
https://svn.stylite.de/egwdoc/nav.html?api/src/Framework/Extra.php.html#message

Second, I’d like to send an email with an attachment from my invoice

program using the mail app of egroupware. Is there a possibility to do
this?

Yes, this is possible.
I believe you will be using api/src/Mailer.php
https://svn.stylite.de/egwdoc/nav.html?api/src/Mailer.php.html

Depending on why you’re sending an email, we also have a whole notification
system that provides more options, and change tracking that can send
notifications when something changes.

Hope that helps,
Nathan

Hello Nathan,

thanks for Your answer. I couldn’t respond earlier.
I have just a very dumb question: When I use
Framework::message(“Hello World”);
I just get a
PHP Fatal error: Class ‘Framework’ not found in
/usr/share/egroupware/rosine/index.php on line 19

I thought that all necessary files are included when I use
$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’] = array(
‘flags’ => array(
‘currentapp’ => ‘rosine’,
‘noheader’ => False,
‘nonavbar’ => True
));

Thanks for Your answer.

Include this in your php file:

use EGroupware\Api\Framework;

Hello Filippos,

thank for Your answer, the PHP error is away, but it still doesn’t show
the message.
It also doesn’t work when I use the second parameter like:
Framework::message(‘Hello World!’,‘error’);

Do I have to use the full egroupware template system to use this function?

Thanks for the answer!

Hello Filippos,

thank for Your answer, the PHP error is away, but it still doesn’t show
the message.
It also doesn’t work when I use the second parameter like:
Framework::message(‘Hello World!’,‘error’);

While including the framework explicitly makes the error go away, it should
not be needed. Your Fatal error indicates something is not quite right in
your code, or how it is called. You should expect to encounter other
errors, though I’m sorry I cannot guess the root cause. Maybe namespace
issues, maybe the autoloader is having trouble for some reason. You might
try:

use EGroupware\Api\Framework;

instead of the include.

Do I have to use the full egroupware template system to use this function?

Yes and no.
The etemplate system will bring the message to the client, and that’s the
easiest way.
If you’re not going to use etemplate, you should still be able to call the
function yourself using javascript on the client side:

egw.message(‘Hey’);

Hello all,

thank again for the answer with the problem sending an email with my
application. I found out that I have to use the addHeader function for
setting the subject of an email that function is not overwritten in the
egroupware Mailerfunction, so it’s not in the documentation. If someone
else wants to know the original Horde Mail functions, the link is here:
