Classic FirstClass Bookmarks Folder

The initial release of FirstClass 12 does not support the display or creation of classic FirstClass Bookmarks.  If you have a number of bookmarks in your Bookmarks folder however and want to be able to use them within FirstClass 12, you can install this application as an external application.  In a subsequent document in this section you will see Global and Personal Bookmarks which is another bookmarks application that does not use the classic FirstClass bookmarks folder.

6. Click the image at the right to open it in a new window, then save as icon.png and attach it to the formicon1.png
7. Open this page and copy the html to your clipboard.
The key component of this page is the use of our own FirstClass API that gives us access to internal content:

var GetURL = '/FCP/?TypedFolder=16&ReplyAsJSON';
$.ajax({
    url: GetURL,
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        var dataReceived = JSON.stringify(data, null, 4);
        parseData(data);
    },
    error: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        alert('textStatus:' + textStatus + '\njqXHR:' + jqXHR);
    }
});
     
8. Paste the entire content of your clipboard into the body of your external application document and save.

Note:  Even though this application uses JQuery, we DO NOT load the jquery library in the html page as it is already loaded by the web client and your application has access to it.  You only need to load the jquery library if your application is running in an iFrame and requires it.
