Client side plugins action

0

Hi Tomek,

I fail to see why you want to start a browser from within a browser. :)

If the user can click on a link you can use the target attribute to define that the link should be opened in a new window.

If you want to trigger this automatically you can use Javascript and window.open

If you want to redirect the browser to a different location after path transition you can use the hyperlink action. Here's an example for executing arbitrary Javascript.

Using something like document.location.href = 'https://www.webcon.com' should allow you to redirect to any URL. Maybe there's an syntax/spelling error. I currently don't have access to a system where I can verify it.

But maybe I'm completely wrong and you w a NT to achieve something different. :)

Coming back to the original question:
Plugins with.net code are always executed on the server.
Form field extensions using Javascript are executed in the browser of the client.

Best regards,
Daniel

Thanks for help, but to be precise: using the server (with Webcon) and the certificate uploaded on it, I communicate with another server, which provides me a link that I need to open at the client side.

Hi,
so I think you can use sdk to get the link, save it in an attribute and then use the built-in action to open it :)

I'm still a webcon beginner so i don't really know how to do it.
In the addon code I assign a link to some attribute and then create build-in action which uses the link yes? How do you make such actions?

Yes, I was referring to the hyperlink action that Daniel mentioned. You have to play around a bit to know these basics :)
I would also recommend to have a look at the knowledge base, for example there is a detailed description of the hyperlink action https://howto.webcon.com/the-hyperlink-action/
Have fun :)

Hi Tomek,

you could also create a Business rule using the SDK. The rule could return the value for the hyperlink action.

Alternatively you could call the rule from a form rule.

Here you can find an example of a custom business rule:

I did it using the method RedirectUrl.

args.TransitionInfo.RedirectUrl("https://webcon.com/");

It opens the specified link in a new tab. XD
