RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Web Server (how to)

Ok...  in v7 dramatic work was done to allow the customization of the web system using web templates.  If you would like to add a custom links to you web page at the bottom of your web page, it is relatively
easy.  The file StandardPageFooter.asp  was separated from the rest of the logic to allow easy additions.  If you open this, you will notice that this is where the information concerning the version of WhatsUp Gold and time is displayed.    Just add to the beginning of it " <a href="MyLink.html" > This is my special link </a>  and then it should appear at the bottom of every page.  If you would just like it to appear on the first page, then edit MainPageSuffix.asp.  There is an alternate version of the web templates that are available to demonstrate some of the capabilities of the web template system.  The alternate set uses Javascript and is quite "pretty".  You could create your own set to use frames if you like.  There is a very thorough document that describes the behavior of every tag available within WhatsUp Gold.
 
 
 
Alternate Set of Templates: (I highly recommend you take a look at this)

Feel free to post anymore questions about how to use the tags on the forum :-)

Steve,
 
I have EXACTLY that same need, but tech support yesterday said that all you can do is make the display name of a "Container" the same as the filename of another saved map file.  Then, when you click it, the link is created between maps.
 
But, while this is nice to know, all I wanted to do was add a simple http link on a WhatsUp Gold page, but I'm not sure if the technical document on extensions to the template concept solves this problem or not.  I've just downloaded it & was going to pour over what extensibility there is. I don't see why the application could let you put an http link capability to just pop off the page to somewhere else, and frames would be nice too ... but I don't know if that's asking too much.
