Adding icon to the Resource Toolbar

For MoreGallery, I'm trying to add an icon to the resource toolbar so users can more easily create new Gallery custom resources. I found the OnResourceToolbarLoad system event, but I can't seem to get that to work.

Has anyone else managed to do this before?

Here's the related code that does not seem to do much:

switch ($modx->event->name) {
    case 'OnResourceToolbarLoad':
        $modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Triggered on OnResourceToolbarLoad');
        $action = (isset ($modx->actionMap) && isset($modx->actionMap['resource/create']) ) ? $modx->actionMap['resource/create'] : 'resource/create';
        $scriptProperties['items'][] = array(
            'icon' => 'assets/components/moregallery/mgr/img/picture.png',
            'tooltip' => 'add new gallery',
            'handler' => 'new Function("this.redirect(\"index.php?a='.$action.'&class_key=mgResource\");");'
        );
        $items[] = array(
            'icon' => 'assets/components/moregallery/mgr/img/picture.png',
            'tooltip' => 'add new gallery',
            'handler' => 'new Function("this.redirect(\"index.php?a='.$action.'&class_key=mgResource\");");'
        );
        break;

The logging statement ends up in the error log as expected, so the code is being triggered.

The code in the core (resource/gettoolbar processor) looks like this:

$this->modx->invokeEvent('OnResourceToolbarLoad',array(
    'items' => &$items,
));

return $this->modx->error->success('',$items);

I would expect from that code that changing the $items array in the plugin should change the toolbar. That didn't work, so I also added it via $scriptProperties['items'], thinking that might work instead, but no dice there either.

Am I looking at this completely wrong, or is the pass-by-reference way of working with plugin variables completely broken?

Hey Mark,

Never did that (wasn't even aware of the event), but i also failed at adding it via PHP.
Another option could be via ExtJS wink

<?php
/**
 * @var modX $modx
 * @var array $scriptProperties
 *
 * @event OnManagerPageBeforeRender
 */

$modx->controller->addHtml('<script>Ext.onReady(function() {
    var tree = Ext.getCmp("modx-resource-tree");
    var tb = tree.getTopToolbar();
    tb.add({
            icon: "404.png",
            tooltip: "Tip tip ?",
            handler: function() {
                console.log("clicked")
            }
    });
    tb.doLayout();
});</script>');

return '';

Hope that will help

Yeah, through ExtJS would've been my next option... just would've been nice if the plugin event, like, worked wink

Thanks for the example code, that'll save me some time!

This is the code I ended up with to add the gallery icon to the toolbar:

switch ($modx->event->name) {
    case 'OnManagerPageBeforeRender':
        /**
         * @var modManagerController $controller
         */
        if (!$modx->getOption('moregallery.add_icon_to_toolbar', null, true)) {
            return;
        }
        $controller->addHtml(<<<HTML
<script>
MODx.on('ready', function() {
    var tree = Ext.getCmp('modx-resource-tree'),
        tb = tree.getTopToolbar();

    setTimeout(function() {
        tb.insertButton(4, {
            icon: '/assets/components/moregallery/mgr/img/picture.png',
            tooltip: 'Add Gallery',
            handler: function() {
                var action = (MODx.action && MODx.action['resource/create']) ? MODx.action['resource/create'] : 'resource/create';
                MODx.loadPage(action, 'class_key=mgResource');
            }
        });
        tb.doLayout();
    }, 150);
    });
</script>
HTML
);
}
