In the sitemap for my model-driven app, I would like to add a "URL" subarea and be able to change the URL address dynamically using the value of an environment variable. Can anyone think of a way to do this without just customizing the sitemap for every environment?
Hi @tschopp ,
How about a CustomPage with a PCF on it containing an IFrame which you can set dynamically from the environment variable?
Hi @DianaBirkelbach ,
The dynamic URL will be for an external website that should open in a new tab/window, like how it works if I hard-code a sitemap URL. I want the user to stay on the current page in the originating window. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're idea would change the current page to display the custom page.
HI @tschopp ,
My idea would place an IFrame inside the "div" provided to the PCF, so basically show the Iframe on the whole page in the sitemap. But you need a container for the PCF, so that's why I needed the CustomPage for that.
A while ago I would have proposed an HTML WebResource, where some javascript code runs in onLoad and would replace the location of an IFrame. In the new app designer I don't see the HTMLWebResource option, but you could use a Dashboard for this.
So the second idea would be to use a dashboard, place a HTMLWebResource on it. Inside the HTMLWebResource you would have only an IFrame, and you use some script to redirect the IFrame Url.
@DianaBirkelbach - I think I get where you're going. I'll give that a try... Thanks!
