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.

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 name2;http://www.openkm.com 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, 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 retrieve the value, so some extensions may produce errors for regular users.

Sample
