External Tab Record Extension
The External Tab Record feature helps you display tab content in the properties tab based on an 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 in the URL request:
- The authentication token (encrypted)
- The record uuid
- The userId
Configuration
| Field / Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
extension.external.tab.record |
List |
Each row is a pair of values that declare a tab's content; the format is: name;url name1;http://localhost:8180/openkm/test.jsp When you embed a URL in an iframe that belongs to a subdomain different from the application's domain, you must include that domain in the configuration; otherwise, the browser will block it for security reasons. You can find more information about the okm.content.security.policy configuration parameter in the section Experimental configuration parameters |
|
webservices.visible.properties |
List |
To make the values of the parameter "extension.external.tab.record" accessible to all users, this parameter must be added to the current list. If you forget to add the property name, only administrators will be able to retrieve the value, so some extensions may produce errors for regular users. |
More information is available at Configuration parameters.
Sample
Configuration
