Hi Carlos,

I think i haven't understand what you meant.

If i click on the URL button in the Business Partner window, it open a new tab in the browser.

I would like to open it within iDempiere (means in a tab like Home, other windows ; or in a specific form).

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi,

Unfortunately, that's not configurable at the moment. We change it to open a new browser tab since some web site doesn't work inside an iframe. It would be nice to add a way to make that configurable. A global configuration flag is probably undesirable here though due to the issue above.

Regards.

For the record, just found this :

Seems there is the necessary to display a web page within a form.

I think need add a way to add filter (rule or plug-in).

example:

at event to open url.

check if has rule, call rule to check url is open by iframe or open by new browser tab.

if has no rule, check config value. and open by config value.

Found a work-around :

URL frameUrl;

try {

frameUrl = new URL("https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/idempiere");

HttpURLConnection uCon = (HttpURLConnection)frameUrl.openConnection();

String frameSupport = uCon.getHeaderField("X-Frame-Options");

        uCon.disconnect();  

if(frameSupport==null)

iframe.setSrc(frameUrl.toString());

else{

log.log(Level.WARNING,"* FRAME NOT SUPPORTED, URL WILL BE OPENED IN NEW TAB *",e);

Executions.getCurrent().sendRedirect(frameUrl.toString(), "_blank");

}

} catch (WrongValueException e) {

log.log(Level.WARNING,"* WRONG URL VALUE *",e);

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

log.log(Level.WARNING,"* INVALID URL FORMAT *",e);

} catch (IOException e) {

log.log(Level.WARNING,"* CAN NOT CONNECT TO URL *",e);

}

However, it's not an efficient solution in terms of performance since it sends request to URL destination to get a Http Response and check its Header to decide opening URL in iframe or new browser tab.

BTW, using Executions.getCurrent().sendRedirect(url,"_blank") , i ran into 2 problems:

- Browsers block popups and i had to configure browser setting to allow popup from my test site.

- Firefox seems to handle well when it opened url in new tab but Chrome was messed up opening url in a new popup window.

So it should be a better solution to find another method to open link in new tab instead of using Executions.getCurrent().sendRedirect(url,"_blank").
