RodrigoDLopez opened a new pull request, #6505:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/6505
### Description
There is currently no way in ACS to redirect users to external links. To
resolve the situation, two new properties have been added to the `config.json`
settings file so that redirects to external links can be defined. The
`externalLinks` property consists of a list of title, link and icon attributes.
```
"externalLinksIcon: "",
"externalLinks": [
{
"title": "Cloudstack",
"link": "https://cloudstack.apache.org";,
"icon": myIcons/cloudstach.png
},
{
"title": "Apache",
"link": "https://apache.org";,
"icon": "https://www.apache.org/icons/apache.png";
}
]
```
The following rules govern the redirection feature for external links:
- If the properties are not defined, the redirect button will not be
displayed to the user;
- The `link` attribute of the `externalLinks` property is mandatory in
this context, and elements of this property that do not have the link attribute
or have it empty will be disregarded. The `title` and `icon` attributes are
optional, if icon is not defined a default icon will be applied;
- When the title attribute is not set, the link will be displayed
instead.
Once the title, link and icon attributes are informed, two possible
behaviors can be observed:
1. Only one defined element: in this context, a button will be displayed,
which, when clicked, will redirect the user to the link defined in the
configuration;
2. More than one element is defined: a dropdown containing the configured
links will be displayed.
```
"externalLinksIcon": "",
"externalLinks": [
{
"title": "",
"link": "http://apache.org";,
"icon": "https://www.apache.org/icons/apache.png";
},
{
"tittle": "will not be shown",
"link": "",
"icon": ""
},
{
"title": "Cloudstack",
"link": "http://cloudstack.org";,
"icon": "myIcons/cloudstach.png"
}
]
```
The `externalLinksIcon` property, also optional, defines the icon that will
be used to compose the button displayed when more than one external link is
provided. In the example above this property was omitted, so the default icon
was displayed. It is also possible to use local images in the icon attribute:
`"icon": "myIcons/cloudstach.png"` or an external link.
