INFOURL link in same frame

Post by mcutting »

Hi Howie,

In my map config, I have set the INFOURL to be an external link to my NETFLOW application. This works fine, but the link navigates away from Cacti, which isn't really what I want.

Is there a way to keep within the same frame as the map itself, or to open a seperate window or tab within the browser ?

I'm still RTFM :) so if it's in there, apologies...

Thanks

Well, the map isn't in a frame, so that's not an option :-)

Probably some sort of INFOURLTARGET option might be a good thing.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.

No, I mean it would be a good thing to write :-)

If you don't mind it doing that for all your maps, just edit the HTML_ImageMap.class.php, and change line 38 from

Code: Select all

                        $h .= " ".$this->extrahtml." ";
to

Code: Select all

                        $h .= " ".$this->extrahtml." target='_blank' ";

Great - opens in a new tab now, which means I don't lose the Cacti session.

Thanks

Howie,

I too am looking to do this and I tried changing the code above in the HTML_ImageMap.class.php file but it doesn't seem to be working using the 0.97 weathermap files.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

In Firefox when you press CTRL key + mouse click, page is opened in new tab. Probably there is smiliar trick in other browsers.
