FileSite Workspace as a Webpage

DavidBLP

Hi,

The SDK 8.5 Release Notes mention some new functionality (page 8) stating that FileSite now supports showing a webpage when you navigate to a workspace node. For more details it refers you to the WorkSite Desktop Interface Customization Guide.

I have looked through the customization guide but cannot find any reference to this function. I have found and implemented a test ICommand that returns a context item IManExt.ReturnedNRTURL, however this only seems to work in DeskSite. Has anyone any guidance on the FileSite functionality and how to implement it so clicking on a Workspace shows a webpage in the Outlook window?

Thanks

Did you ever manage to get this done ? I'm trying to do same and stuggling to find the information i need.

Hi,

I did get some input from Autonomy, I have provided the code exactly as they did below. I still did not manage to get the code to work without Outlook continually crashing, perhaps you will have more luck, I'd be interested to know if you do? We are currently running FileSite 8.5 SP2 Update 6 and Office 2010. There are also some posts on the Autonomy Customer Forums, see these links:
