External tab record extension

The External Tab Record feature helps you to show a tab content in properties tab based on external URL request when a node record is selected.  

This option is only available if you have enabled the External tab record feature.

There are several parameters passed as request parameter in URL request:

  • The authentication token ( encrypted )
  • The record uuid
  • The userId

Configuration

Field / PropertyTypeDescription

Each row is a couple of values with a tab content declaration, the format is: name;url

name1;http://localhost:8180/openkm/test.jsp

 List

To make accessible to all the users the values of the parameter "extension.external.tab.record", must be added the value "extension.external.tab.record" in the current list.

If you forget to add the property name, only administrator users will be able to get the value so some extensions may produce errors for regular users.
