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 }); -- Regards, Vojtech

but if a single codebase for the uiplugin is to support multiple versions for deployment, it may want to make some features available only if engine version is X or >X.

so just wondering: - do you see uiplugins distributed as rpms or some other way?

- do you see uiplugin codebase trying to accomodate multiple versions, or branch/version similar to supported engine, and one needs latest engine for latest uiplugin, etc.

It's working very well for me. I am having an issue with the REST session ID that I haven't been able to nail down. It seems to be timing out rather quickly. Somewhere between 15 and 30 seconds if I don't use it explicitly. I've seen the code that is scheduled to run every minute to keep it alive, but it looks like the timeout is happening so quickly that the heartbeat can't keep it alive. Any idea on why this would be happening? -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: engine-devel-bounces(a)ovirt.org [mailto:engine-devel- > bounces(a)ovirt.org] On Behalf Of Vojtech Szocs > Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2013 11:25 AM > To: engine-devel > Cc: Spenser Shumaker; René Koch; Morrissey, Christopher > Subject: [Engine-devel] UI Plugin API improvements > > Hi guys, > > I've just merged some UI Plugin patches that improve existing API > functions, as well as add some new API functions.
