Open URL assigned to map elements

[Stefan Witzel]

Hi,

when creating maps it's possible to assign an url to the map elements. Clicking on the map element the link is openend replacing the current zabbix map.

I use this feature to point to a documentation site, so it would be nice, if there will be opened a new browser window or tab (HTML: target="_blank"), not replacing zabbix in the current window.

Is this (already) possible?

Thanks in advance.

Stefan

Have you found an answer to this post?

Hello Stefan,

I was wondering if you had found a solution to opening a URL in the map to a new window? I am using Zabbix 2.0.1

Thanks!

With the assigned changed in source code you could achieve this.

[ZABBIX_WEBROOT]/js/menu.js line 451
if(this.a_config[1] && (this.a_config[1].substr(0, 4)=='ext:')) {
this.a_config[1] = this.a_config[1].substr(4);
el.setAttribute('target', '_blank');
}

To open the links in a new tab/window just prefix your link with "ext:".

Hi,

the current configuration of Zabbix 2.4.0 is as follows:

442 // url action
443 else {
444 if (!is_null(this.a_config[1]) && (this.a_config[1].indexOf('javascript') == -1)
445 && !(!is_null(this.a_config[2]) || this.a_config[2] == 'nosid')) {
446 var url = new Curl(this.a_config[1]);
447 this.a_config[1] = url.getUrl();
448 }
449
450 el.setAttribute('href', this.a_config[1]);
451 if (this.a_config[2] && this.a_config[2]['tw']) {
452 el.setAttribute('target', this.a_config[2]['tw']);
453 }
454 }

How should I change it so I could use that "ext:" for opening it in the new window?

I think the syntax is still valid.
I'd place my code fragment at line 449.

As soon as I set up my Z2.4 I'll try this one out. But for now it's untested.

I tried it somehow, but I haven't been successful...

But added this to menupopup.js file:

if (options.url.indexOf("http") === 0) {
link.attr('target', '_blank');
}

I put it it after the line 1000... And it seems it's doing the job...

I'm fairly sure your code will open all links in a different tab/window. Not only the desired ones.
But thanks for your answer.
