Add menu link and open menu with open-views api about landos-app HOT 9 CLOSED

Care to explain?

from landos-app.

Sure. If you want to take this, feel free :)

This will let you open an arbitrary url with the open views api. I'd like a menu link somewhere on the gadget (maybe in the header) that will launch this when clicked so people can browse the menu easily.

Open this?

from landos-app.

Yep, that would be perfect.

I'll let you know tomorrow. Currently drowning in PageRank.

Any preference for how the menu opens (e.g., tab or dialog)?

from landos-app.

Dialog please. At least for now.

from landos-app.

Works great when opening the gadget, however, the open-veiws apis do not work in an embedded experience in notes right now. We will probably have to revisit this and discuss security implications...

For now, can you please detect if we are in an EE (there's code that does that right now to determine where to look for a runid; context or ask server) and show the menu in a dijit lite box dialog? I think the content pane will let you specify a url to show within it.

Should I only use the dijit lite box dialog in the case of being in an EE? My vote would be for consistency unless this raises an issue -- you wanted to stick to open-views as much as possible, correct?
