Call external URL from function menu with objid as GET parameter

Gianluca_Tacchella

Hi Content Server Experts,

I have the following requirement:

from the function menu for Object Types "Document"

I need a custom action to be launched

which dynamically calls an external URL

(the static part of the URL => written in an ad-hoc category attribute, or something similar)

with 2 GET parameters filled with:

- objid of the current Node;

- userid of the current CS user.

As an example:

Document xyz having objid 12345

function menu => call external URL

which calls:

http://tomcat.domain.loc/EWSClientServlet?objid=12345&userid=johnsmith

How is it possible to do ?

I think Content Server SDK and oScript is needed, but I don't know which object to orphanize...

thanks in advance

If I understand correctly, You need a new option in the function menu, on click of which it takes you to a new url?

If that is what you need,

<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Create a new webnode command orphan.

<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>Set basic properties on the command like fEnabled, fName, fPerms, _NodeTypes().

<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>In this case Modify the URL Method to generate the URL that points tohttp://tomcat.domain.loc/EWSClientServlet?objid=12345&userid=johnsmith

<![if !supportLists]>4. <![endif]>You will get the objid and userId from the URL function parameters.

Hope, I am clear.

Thanks,

Rakesh.
