Adding a HTTP URL to a viewlet
Is there any viewlet (I haven't found it) where I can set just a plain
HTTP URL to be loaded? Current workaround I have found is to use the General HTML viewlet and write an <iframe> tag but it has two issues for my scenario: - If the HTTP URL is dynamic (for example, a servlet or cgi program) its refresh action doesn't do anything. I have to refresh the whole dashboard page. https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=100374 - As it doesn't let me introduce HTML HEAD tags, I am not able to set the viewlet icon to my short cut icon with a line like: <link> Other viewlets like Feeds one supports it. Any idea? Did i miss any viewlet or any usage of an existing viewlet? Thanks in advance, Chemi. |

Hi Chemi,
There is no official support for this in any viewlet. The closest thing is the HTML viewlet, though it has issues and I cannot guarantee that it will continue to allow iframes in the future as we are tightening security. You could write your own viewlet to do this. Let me know if you need any help or tips. https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DashboardHelloWorldViewlet In the next major release, you'll also be able to add OpenSocial gadgets and most likely iWidgets to your dashboard, in addition to viewlets, and I'm sure there must be a gadget/widget out there that already does something like this. Thanks, Curt |
