SummaryViews Extension Height & Width of Portlet is not Reflecting in Plugin Mode

[dharmeshj]

I am using an extension (as given below) to show an portlet in plugin mode. In this extension i am using a <dialogSize> Property to increase height and width of portlet. But height & width is not reflecting in plugin mode. and appearing with it's default height and width

<extension id="com.vmware.samples.vspherewssdk.datastore.summary">

  <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.datastore.summarySectionViews.html</extendedPoint>

  <object>

  <name>#{summaryView.title}</name>

  <contentSpec>

        <url>/ui/vspherewssdk/resources/vm-summary.html</url>

        <dialogSize>440,400</dialogSize>

  </contentSpec>

  </object>

</extension>

Note: I am using V-Center Server 6.5U2.

Please provide some guidance.

Thanks in Advance

Hi dharmeshj,

The dialogSize is a legacy API targeted at plugins supporting vSphere Web Client (Flex).

For HTML Plugins the <size> tag can be used where:
the width 1 is the only supported value at the moment,
height can be 1 (default) or 2 (portlet with doubled content area, excluding the title)

Here is a working example of the extension point.
<extension id="com.vmware.samples.vspherewssdk.datastore.summary">
   <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.vm.summarySectionViews</extendedPoint>
   <object>
      <name>#{summaryView.title}</name>
      <contentSpec>
         <url>/ui/vspherewssdk/resources/vm-summary.html</url>
         <size>
            <width>1</width>
            <height>2</height>
         </size>
      </contentSpec>
   </object>
</extension>

Best,
Martin

Is this applicable for vSphere Client v6.5U2?

Is there a updated documentation for these?

Hi Stoevm,

Thanks, It is working as expected.

Indeed, this is not properly documented and we will make sure this is added to the programming guide in the future.

Thanks.
