Hi Vojtech, Thanks a lot for the information. Are these changes already available in latest nightly repository or do I have to fetch them from git? As UI API gets more and more features I was wondering if I can get the UI plugin API version with a JavaScript call like api.getVersion(). I think it could sometimes be useful for UI plugin development to get the version of UI API to be able to use the right API call - at the moment only oVirt 3.2 is available which supports UI plugins, but in future there will be more oVirt version and hopefully RHEV will also support UI plugins (at least as tech preview). What do you think? Thanks, René -----Original message-----

Hi guys,
I've just merged some UI Plugin patches that improve existing API functions, as well as add some new API functions. Please read on to learn what's new.
Modal dialog API ================
Function improved: showDialog
New signature: showDialog(title, dialogToken, contentUrl, width, height [, options])
Example usage: showDialog('My Dialog', 'my-dialog', 'http://www.foobar.com/', '800px', '600px', { // Default value = empty array (no buttons) buttons: [ { label: 'Do stuff', onClick: function() { alert('Bump!'); } } ],
// Default value = false resizeEnabled: true,
// Default value = true closeIconVisible: true,
// Default value = true closeOnEscKey: true });
Notable changes: * modal dialogs now look & feel the same as standard WebAdmin dialogs * width & height are strings containing CSS units * the reason why buttons default to empty array is to give plugin authors the choice to provide custom buttons (or similar input elements) via dialog content (iframe), and use HTML5 window.postMessage to call the plugin (coming soon!)

New function: setDialogContentUrl
New signature: setDialogContentUrl(dialogToken, contentUrl)
Example usage: setDialogContentUrl('my-dialog', 'http://www.example.com/')
--
New function: closeDialog
New signature: closeDialog(dialogToken)
Example usage: closeDialog('my-dialog')
Tab API =======
Functions improved: addMainTab & addSubTab
New signatures: addMainTab(label, historyToken, contentUrl [, options]) addSubTab(entityTypeName, label, historyToken, contentUrl [, options])
Example usage:
// Tab is left-aligned by default addMainTab('Foo Tab', 'foo-tab', 'http://www.foo.com/');
// Tab is right-aligned via options object addSubTab('VirtualMachine', 'Bar Tab', 'bar-tab', 'http://www.bar.com/', { alignRight: true });
