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 as request parameters 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 declaring a tab's content; 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.record" accessible to all users, the value "extension.external.tab.record" 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 at Configuration parameters.
