Where is zimbra chat??? (Over 1700 views, one reply, ow!)

Post by zim_mike »

A year ago at least, I tried out something called zextras then decided to remove it.
No matter what I do, the zextra chat zimlets just won't go away.

Yesterday, I upgraded from 8.8.7 to 8.8.15 and wanted to enable the chat zimlets.
When looking at my zimlets list it does not show any zimbra chat zimlet but it still shows com_zextras_chat and com_zextras_chat_open.

I removed zextras but it won't fully clean up.

$ zmzimletctl undeploy com_zextras_chat_open.zip
[] INFO: Uninstalling Zimlet com_zextras_chat_open.zip from LDAP.
[] INFO: undeploying zimlet com_zextras_chat_open.zip
[] INFO: zimlet directory com_zextras_chat_open.zip is deleted

$ zmzimletctl undeploy com_zextras_chat.zip
[] INFO: Uninstalling Zimlet com_zextras_chat.zip from LDAP.
[] INFO: undeploying zimlet com_zextras_chat.zip
[] INFO: zimlet directory com_zextras_chat.zip is deleted

However, searching for the packages shows files for both packages remain in the deployed section of the server.
And, they remain in the Configure/Zimlets section with no zimbra chat zimlet showing up.

# find / -name '*com_zextras_chat*'
/opt/zimbra/zimlets/com_zextras_chat_open.zip
/opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/com_zextras_chat_open
/opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/com_zextras_chat_open/com_zextras_chat_open_sv.properties
/opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/com_zextras_chat_open/com_zextras_chat_open_fr.properties
**SNIP**

So then I used the undeploy function from the GUI and that seemed to remove them from the list. but, are they actually gone finally???
Searching for the files seems to say yes so why didn't this work from the command line?

More importantly, where is the zimbra chat I actually do want?

PS: I also see com_zextras_drive_open so believe this is also left over from zextras? Is it? And is it ok to remove? I"m trying to get rid of ALL zextras but wow, they don't make it easy.

The only thing I can offer is to try this command to clear the zimlet cache.

Code: Select all

zmprov fc -a zimlet

Thank you. I appreciate your trying :).

I tried that and do not see a zimbra chat zimlet in the Zimlets area.

Worth a try. Thanks.

Hello,

I know its been three years since you asked this question, but I'm wondering if you found an answer. I have the same issue.

Thanks,
Kevin

I do see chat in the default build now but it's practically useless. You cannot pop it out to a larger window, you can't add icons as far as I can see and worse, you can't attach files/images, etc.

It would be super useful to have a functional chat in zimbra.
