Methods to extend contextmenus from other plugins about roundcube-contextmenu HOT 8 CLOSED

The contextmenu will now pick up anything that looks like a Roundcube command from the toolbar and use it. The idea is that plugins won't need to do anything extra, the contextmenu will just pick them up.

Are you trying to add an entry to an existing contextmenu (like on the mail screen) or add a whole new contextmenu (add one in to the calender screens)?

Both, actually.

I see that the commands I add to existing menus in the Roundcube UI get picked up in the context menu but their state (enabled/disabled) isn't updated depending on the record I right-click. For example, I'm adding more address books to the directories list in the address book view and along with them, the options menu gets additional items (e.g. delete address book). These also show up in the context menu but should be disabled when clicking the LDAP address book as this cannot be deleted. The automatic pick-up is good but I'd like a way to interact with the context menu items or register events when a menu is opened with a reference to the actual record.

For whole new screens like a calendar module, I'd prefer a simple API where I can register a contextmenu together with a selector (like 'div.calendarview') and some callbacks when an item is clicked.

Thanks a lot for considering!

I have made some improvements to that recently. Could try with the git-master version of this plugin (needs git-master rc) and see if its any better? If it still doesn't pick it up right is there any chance that I could borrow your plugin - just to save me making a similar one for testing?

It should be possible now but it needs documenting. I'll work on that.

Still wrong. They're picked up into wrong place. E.g. in kolab_addressbook plugin new actions/buttons are added to "More actions" menu. So, now they appear in contextmenu when you click on group record, but not when you click on addressbook record. In this case automatic handling is wrong and we need manual method. Also, we most likely would like to have a possibility to force contextmenu to skip some buttons, e.g. using some class name on link element.

Even If we assume the actions are picked up correctly, they still are not activated. Is there a way to bind to afteractivate event or any other on an existing menu? I don't see such an option.

The first version of the manual is now available in the repo. It covers issues raised here like:

• how to add your own menu to a screen
• how to add items to an existing menu
• how to enable/disable menu items
• how to perform actions when an item is clicked

Thank you, it fixed all our needs except one. I can't get zipdownload menu working with contextmenu. Steps:

1. Enable zipdownload plugin
2. Go to messages list, right-click one, go to "More..." > "Download...", click it.
3. You should see a submenu with three items.

I don't know how to modify the zipdownload plugin to set correctly command states to activate its menu items. I use messages list 'select' event to do this, but contextmenu "calls" it twice. And for the second time no messages are selected, which makes actions disabled. Any ideas?

I see that 'menu-close' event is not executed when the contextmenu is being hidden.

I see what you mean. I can make the zipdownload plugin work with this patch but I'm not sure its the best solution. It would be good to make contextmenu somehow enable the commands on its own, right now I just can't see how - I think its to do with it being a plugin rather than a built in command the whole process is just different.
