RSJ-Next Generation Label Printing System - makes workflow easier

Reusable Sidebar

You don't have to reinvent the wheel to integrate LPSNG with your application: Our reusable sidebar technology allows for extremly simple integration in other applications (web or native).

It also allows future improvements of the sidebar with additional functionalities without changes to your application.

Proven Technology

We used this very technology for our integration Add-Ins for Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel 365 and Microsoft Office 2013.

How it works

Include one of our JavaScript files in your HTML header
Define a div in your web page, where our sidebar should live.
Register your application with LPSNG (requires a Pro subscription).
Call our entry point during page initialization
Provide some callback functions

Modifications to your HTML

<html>
 <head>
  .....
  <script src="https://lpsng.rsj.de/sidebar/sidebar.js"></script>
 </head>
 <body>
 ......
  <div id="sidebarContents"></div>
 </body>
<html>

The JavaScript is available in source form to give you an idea of customization possibilities.

Requirements

The reusable sidebar is based on IFRAMEs.

If you actually include our sidebar from a sandboxed IFRAME the following rights are required:

allow-same-origin
allow-forms
allow-scripts
allow-popups
allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox

Register your application

Goto Manage Applications
Add your application
Set the Redirect URL to /loginComplete.html
Note the clientid and clientsecret

JavaScript Code

function getData(completion, options) {

   var data= [
       { barcode:"4012345123456", productName:"Coca Cola", price: "1.42",

       { barcode:"4191709413901", productName:"dotnetpro", price: "14.90", 
           labelCount: 5}
       ];

   var job= {
       title:"Test Job",
       name: "Test Job",
       description: "Job description",
       data: JSON.stringify(data)
       };

   completion(job);
   };

function DoPrint(completion, options) {
   getData(completion, options);
   };

var conf= {
   div: "sidebarContents",        // div id on page
   clientId: "..........",        // client_id from "Manage Applications"

   };
