Plugin for Weblinks

Hello,

I just installed JC Tables and tried to create a plugin which by selecting a row, opens a new tab in a URL which is the value of a field of the master table.


In my (site) database I have the string type field named [extern_file] in a table where I have stored a URL address. I cannot find the way to create a plugin (click or custom button) with which the user will go to the url address contained in this field for the selected row. For example for record with id=1 I wanna go to -> bit.ly/3TxAmS8 .

Thanks in advance

Hi Pavlos,

This can be done in 2 ways.....

1) Use a Custom Plugin, using the following config params if you want to pass your id field to the new url......

{
  "url":"https://myexternalurl.com?id=##row.id##"
}

    or in your case......

}
  "url":"bit.ly/3TxAmS8"
}

     Set the PluginType to eg: : "Row"
     Set the Label to eg: : "View my Invoice"
     Set the Icon to "view.png" or any url you might want to use.
     Set the Target  to "New Tab"

2) or You can use a LINK field formatter in your table setup......

{title:"External File",
field:"extern_file",
formatter:"link",
formatterParams:{
label:"View",
target:"_blank",
}
}
