How to display a HTTP page of my choice
Added by Leszek Koltunski almost 10 years ago
Hello Redmine gurus,
in my project, in its 'Menu' (i.e. the list of links that contain 'Overview', 'Roadmap' , 'Issues' and the like) I'd like to add a new link which, when clicked, would display a HTTP page of my choice.
The page I want to display is hosted on the same machine like the Redmine instance. It is periodically updated by an automated, external system so I cannot simply type it to Redmine's 'Overview'.
I guess it would look nicer if the page would be integrated into Redmine, i.e. only displayed in the sub-rectangle directly below the Menu (while keeping the Menu and the sidebar visible) but this is not an absolute must - if this is not possible, maybe clicking the link could take me to a completely new HTTP page, from where I would have to press 'Back' to get back to my Redmine.
How can I do that?
Hello,
If I were you, i would:
1. Install a plugin to inject JS such as http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_custom_js (Full disclosure, I wrote this plugin)
2. Inject JS such as:
$( "#main-menu ul" ).append( '<li><a href="/my_custom_page" class="overview">My link</a></li>' );
You can insert the link after a specific link doing:
$( '<li><a href="/my_custom_page" class="overview">My link</a></li>' ).insertAfter($( "#main-menu a.news" ).parent())
