External tab mail extension
OpenKM 7.1 comes with two user interfaces, called "classic" and "kcenter". Although both are functionally very similar, the layout and the way they are used may have significant differences. This page is based on the "classic" user interface. If you are using the "kcenter" user interface and are unsure how to access any of these features, please create a ticket in the support website.
The External Tab Mail feature helps you show a tab's content in the properties tab based on an external URL request when a mail node is selected.
This option is only available if you have enabled the External tab mail feature.
There are several parameters passed as request parameters in the URL request:
- The authentication token (encrypted)
- The mail uuid
- The userId
Configuration
| Field / Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
extension.external.tab.mail |
List |
Each row is a pair of values with a tab content declaration; the format is: name;url name1;http://localhost:8180/openkm/test.jsp |
|
webservices.visible.properties |
List |
To make the values of the parameter "extension.external.tab.mail" accessible to all users, the value "extension.external.tab.mail" must be added to the current list. If you forget to add the property name, only administrators will be able to get the value, so some extensions may produce errors for regular users. |
More information is available at Configuration parameters.

Configuration
