Hi,

I'm trying to open draw.io from embedded mode and show a custom library of shapes.

This is the url I'm using:

var url = 'https://www.draw.io/'
    + '?embed=1'
    + '&ui=atlas'
    + '&spin=1'
    +' &modified=unsavedChanges'
    + '&proto=json'
    + '&libraries=1'
    + '&clibs=Uhttp%3A%2F%2Fapp.test%2Fxml%2Fshapes.xml';

When draw.io opens, there is an additional templates library (I think it is loaded by default) but the custom one does not show up.

Attached is the shapes file.

I'm able to open the shapes.xml file from the browser so permissions are ok.

Thanks.

Hi Gaudenz,

Its not working for me.
Can it be related with the library file not being available under an http secure url?

Thanks!

Using http for the example library works for me, so not sure. Check the browser console for errors.

Good tip!

ERROR:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()

I think that trailing code (red) is causing the problem. Don't know where that's coming from.

Ah, we add this URL parameter to bypass the browser cache when using the proxy. The proxy is used if we think the resources does not have the required CORS headers, and apparently - being a local name - our proxy cannot access the resource. We could add a cors URL parameter to add entries to the list of domains that can be used directly (ie that have the required CORS headers).

Thanks!

I think that would be very useful for using draw.io in intranet environments.

Do you have an estimate for releasing that feature?

Thanks again!

I cannot seem to make it work with a custom library on OneDrive. Here is what I have:

File -> Open Library from -> OneDrive...

I uploaded the libraby file (GTA121.xml) to a server. It is accessible from this address :


I can add the library from URL without creating a new project.  

However, I still cannot load the library on startup with the following URL :

What URL property disables all other shapes? I want to avoid clicking on "More Shapes..." and uncheck the cheched libraries by default. I just want a particular custom library called from the clibs property.
