How do I display my plugin page between the header and footer?

buck_rogers

I asked this on Github, but I think it may be better for here. I'm not sure. I didn't get a response, and I didn't know if it was because I was in the wrong place or because everyone was busy (I am not complaining at all.)I'll be glad to update Github, if I can get the answer. I am trying to not reverse engineer plugins, if this is an easy answer.I have this,namespace controller;

require_once(STAFFINC_DIR.'header.inc.php');

require_once(STAFFINC_DIR.'staff.inc.php');

class MyController {

public function searchAction(){

require('myplugin.html');

}

require_once(STAFFINC_DIR.'footer.inc.php');

But I get,

Fatal error: Call to a member function getError() on a non-object in C:\osticket\include\staff\header.inc.php on line 58

How do I make a page in my plugin show up between header.inc.php and footer.inc.php? The plugin works and is enabled and works, but the page is not totally integrated without these includes. Thanks for any help.

I am using dispatcher.php in scp if that matters.

The examples I've looked at use twig, so I can't use it.

I found the $ost object is "sort of" instianiated. I can view it with print_r, but it doesn't have all the properties or something. This line "fixed" it,global $ost, $cfg;as line 51 never got run. But it doesn't like the css links now.

So I think that you ran into this:https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket/issues/2954

Thanks.Do you know how to make the dispatcher load my assets for my plugin?When it loads the page, I get my plugin html page from my include above, but the dispatcher won't load any of my css or js. It doesn't know how to find it. $search_url = url ( '^/my-plugin/', patterns ( 'controller\MyController', url_get ( '^search$', 'searchAction' ) ) );But that doesn't help, when I have things in sub-directories like css or js. I can't load them if they are in the same directory as my plugin's main PHP file either. What url do I put in my callback, so I can get the main plugin page (above), but os it will also resolve the paths in my displayed page like:<script type="text/javascript" src="js/view.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="js/calendar.js"></script>It puts the ROOT_DIR as it should, but dispatcher.php can't resolve it.

I found it in the tutorial. Doesn't work for me, but I found it.

Rather then try to brute force into the menu you could use the menu hooks something like: // Function to display Applications -> plugin on Agent Panel function createStaffMenu() { Application: ( 'mailtest', "$helpdeskurl".'/include/plugins/mailtest/mailtestb.php', array ( iconclass => 'faq-categories' ) ); } // Function to display Applications -> plugin on Admin Panel function createAdminMenu() { Application: ( 'mailtest', "$helpdeskurl".'/include/plugins/mailtest/mailtestb.php', array ( iconclass => 'faq-categories' ) ); }This would make it show up like this:note: mailtest is a plugin that I have been working on. You should customize this to your plugin, path, etc.

It shows up under applications. That's not the problem. The problem is I cannot get the page, the application, "mailtest" in your case, to load its resources. So if mailtest loads, and you have to load css and JavaScript, the page would load but not the scripts.In my plugin, these never load once the application loads that I created with createStaffMenu:<script type="text/javascript" src="js/view.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="js/calendar.js"></script>
