Getting Started and Sumary Tabs from Shortcut Home Icon

[phanimadala]

Hi,


I am working on our plugin for vsphere webclient. I have a home shortcut icon of our plugin in the webclient. 


I would like to open a page with two tabs : Getting Started and Summary Tab (similar to "vCenter Orchestrator" - I attached an image of this plugin) 


Both will be static html pages, so there is no requirement for the object basis.


Here is my plugin.xml but it is not working 

  <extension id="com.ni.eseries.vcenterWebClientui.homeShortcut">

      <extendedPoint>vise.home.shortcuts</extendedPoint>

      <object>

         <name>Netapp1</name>

         <icon>#{netappIcon-32x32}</icon>

         <categoryUid>vsphere.core.controlcenter.inventoriesCategory</categoryUid>

         <targetViewUid>com.ni.eseries.vcenterWebClientui.GettingStartedView</targetViewUid>

      </object>

   </extension>

   <extension id="com.ni.eseries.vcenterWebClientui.GettingStartedView">

      <extendedPoint>com.ni.eseries.vcenterWebClientui.gettingStartedViews</extendedPoint>

     <object>

         <name>Tester</name>

         <icon>#{netappIcon-32x32}</icon>

         <componentClass className="com.vmware.vsphere.client.htmlbridge.HtmlView">

            <object>

               <root>

                  <url>/vsphere-client/vcenterWebClient-ui/resources/mainView_en_US.html</url>

               </root>

            </object>

         </componentClass>

      </object>

   </extension>

Please let me know what is wrong here. Also I am begginer to vsphere webclient so, please excuse me for anything that doesn't make any sense.

Thanks,

-Phani

Hi..


  Refer vCenter Orchestrator plugin.xml, here you will find all the answers for your query.


  You need to define custom hostPoints to show summary and getting started view.

hi @vaibhav87 ,


thanks for your reply. looks like i was already on the right track. i followed plugin.xml from vCO. But the problem i am encountering is that in the main vco application there is a reference to mainview class which i guess is the part of flex code. Now as i am trying to develop a html plugin , can you guide me on how to implement that part in html plugin.
