Passing parameters Megazine to Asul button

[rbaybayan]

Hi Florian,

I had place my mz3v2.0.5 library as common to all the books. I created a custom button and defined this in navigation asul as "SHARE" and "EMAIL". Each button has a unique URL link per each book.

Is it possible that I can pass the URL string from Megazine.mz3 to Navigation asul button?

    Megazine.mz3
             say
        <book
               navigation.asul.button_share.url="www.yahoo.com">

In this case I do not need to copy the whole directory per each book. It is easy to make control and make changes to update all the books when the mz3v2.0.5 is common

Hmm, won't be as simple as that. You'll have to implement the logic that actually reads that parameter somewhere.
So the quickest thing would be to write a small plugin that does just that (registers a setting with that name and
then sets the url attribute of the ASUL element). Just a real quick draft to get the idea across:

Code: (actionscript3)

public class ButtonShare extends AbstractPlugin {
    public ButtonShare(data:PluginData = null) {
        super(data || new PluginData("buttonshare", "1.0.0", [new Dependency("navigationbar", true)]));
    }
 
    override protected function register():void {
        settings.register("button_share", "");
    }
 
    override protected function initialize():void {
        var btn:IAsulObject = IAsulObject(megazine.pluginLayer).deepGetChildByName("button_share") as IAsulObject;
        if (btn) {
            btn.setAttribute("url", settings.getSetting("button_share"));
        }
    }
}
