The toolbar command API 189
The name getDynamicContent() is a misnomer because this function should be used even if the
list of entries in the menu is fixed. For example, the Text_Size.htm file in the Configuration/
Menus/MM folder is not a dynamic menu; it is designed to be called from each one of a set of
static menu items. By adding a
getDynamicContent() function that simply returns the list of
possible font sizes, however, the same command file can also be used for a toolbar pop-up menu.
Toolbar items ignore underscores in the strings in a returned array so you can reuse menu
command files. In the menu command file, Dreamweaver ignores the
getDynamicContent()
function because the menu item is not marked as dynamic.
Arguments
None.
Returns
Dreamweaver expects an array of strings with which to populate the menu.
Example
function getDynamicContent()
{
var items = new Array;
var filename = dw.getConfigurationPath() + "/Toolbars/MM/AddressList.xml";
var location = MMNotes.localURLToFilePath(filename);
if (DWfile.exists(location))
{
var addressData = DWfile.read(location);
var addressDOM = dw.getDocumentDOM(dw.getConfigurationPath() +
'/Shared/MM/Cache/empty.htm');
addressDOM.documentElement.outerHTML = addressData;
var addressNodes = addressDOM.getElementsByTagName("url");
if (addressNodes.length)
{
for (var i=0; i < addressNodes.length ; i++ )
{
items[i] = addressNodes[i].address + ";id='" +
addressNodes[i].address + "'";
}
}
}
return items;
