Hi, how can I add a site using the occ command?

php occ config:app:set external <name> --value VALUE

I'm not sure what to put in the <name> field.

Thanks

@MorrisJobke asked me to open an issue ticket in this repository to discuss the described issue.

Actual behavior

If you set-up external side links pointing to LAN resources, these are not accessible from the Android/iOS apps, because the apps are trying to access the sides directly.

Nextcloud app -> Nextcloud server
              -> External site link 1
              -> External site link 2
              -> ...

Expected behavior

If you' access a web page by using an external side entry in the Android/iOS apps, access should be proxied via Nextcloud and displayed properly.

Nextcloud app -> Nextcloud server
              -> Nextcloud server -> External site link 1
              -> Nextcloud server -> External site link 2
              -> Nextcloud server -> ...

Steps to reproduce

1. setup an external side link pointing to an intranet page on your LAN.
2. Open the Nextcloud app.
3. Select an external side link.
   -> Website not available (for parts of a second) before it is overwritten by Sorry Modified.

Some of my external link doesn't support intégration and need to be openend in a new tab.

I know the way to push CTRL + click, but it's not very userfriendly to ask user to make that each time they click on a specifical external link.

Is it possible to add this feature please ?

Was wondering if we could also have individual external link sharing permissions for groups/individuals when adding external links.

In older versions of "external sites" in the field of url it was possible to write so: /docs/
and it worked with all domain nextcloud:

• www.nextcloud.org/docs/
• nextcloud.org/docs/
• nextcloud2.org/docs/

In new version need to write absolute path: https://nextcloud.org/docs/
but then other domains show a blank screen..

Can you do something like this: https://*/docs/
or return the old version?

Error on save url:

{"ocs":{"meta":{"status":"failure","statuscode":400,"message":null},"data":"\u0423\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u043d \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u044b\u0439 URL"}}

Nextcloud 12.0.3

##Expected bahavior##
It should be possible to restrict access to external sites on a per user/group base.

##Current behavior##
It is only possible to set app restrictions for the whole app but not for specific external sites within the app.

It seems the URLs use the link id as a reference to where to go.
This can create problems if you setup multiple instances and want all the links to an external website to be the same.
so, it would be great if admins could use links which include a keyword or maybe the lowercase version of the name identifier.

NC: 12.0.4
External Sites: 2.0.3

• Installed NC and had a few troubles with Instance/my provider so I thought maybe it's an bug I haven't found your app after installing, but it turns out it was just "hidden" in "Additional Settings" and haven't got an extra menu item "External Sites" (like in your screenshot) any longer

• Then I would appreciate a way to change the order of my external sites which is not possible. But there is an App to change the order of menu items ("App Order"), so this is not a problem, but a small hint in the description of this app would be a nice thing.

• In my version is a drop down field for every link element with options "Normal, Setting, Quota". I have no idea what this is about

• I really would like a few more icons (FB, Twitter..) and a way to upload them by administration and links to open in a new window and not as an iframe. This is not possible in my version but it is in your screenshot?! How it comes? Or am I missing something?

I'm using NextCloud as a dashboard for all of my self-hosted software (~15 'external' links), but many of them don't work because of the 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin' directive.

Would it be possible to instruct some of the external links to open in a new tab or even to add this as a feature in an upcoming release?

Perhaps an additional dropdown with an option for 'iframe, new tab or new window'?

1. download app from https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/external

Currently some Options prevent the usage of external sites.
A very easy way to have at least a workaround for this, could be to have an option, which is not embedding the site, but links to it.

Steps to reproduce

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_server/external_sites.html
Describes why some sites are not working in the bottom section.

Expected behaviour

During the creation of an external site, one should choose between "embed" and "link".
When choosing "embed" the behaviour is as known.
When choosing "link" the new link will open in a new tab or window.
Optional: links should be marked as "external" in some way.

Actual behaviour

Most sites with X-Frame-Options or Content-Security-Policy are not usable at all.
Linking to external sites seems not possible.

Server configuration

Nextcloud version: 12.0.3

Extracted from #69 by @Dubidubiduu

Then I would appreciate a way to change the order of my external sites which is not possible. But there is an App to change the order of menu items ("App Order"), so this is not a problem, but a small hint in the description of this app would be a nice thing.

I'm a Nextcloud admin.
I'd like to put links under quota that point to my billing system.
My billing system expects an email in the url for the bill.

Implementation proposal

We create a function that allow Nextcloud admin to have special chars in the url, like say {{ email }}, and this would be replaced at runtime, by the actual email of the user.

so then, in the admin settings, I'd write:

https://example.org/buy_now/?email={{ email }}

And as a user, when I click on the link, I'd go to:

https://example.org/buy_now/[email protected]

What do you think about this feature?

I get the images via API and use them on the navigation drawer in our android app.
The background color of this navigation drawer is white, which leads to not "showing" the external icons as they are then white on white.
Only settings.svg is working as it is black by default.

This is also the same if you look into the web UI and open the upper right menu.

I will need some black ones for proper displaying them.

In:

Redirect This site does not allow embeding

there should be another d in embedding

Are you available to do a customization of this for me? If so, pm me your rates.

What I need done:

-Setup groups of links with name and icon for the group.
-Be able to move links between the different groups. Existing app links and External app links.
-Have main group stationary in the direct header menu and the other groups as the group icon with a dropdown list of links with their associated icons.

For example:

• Button 1 Buy more storage
• Button 2 Edit your personal Settings (For LDAP management UI)

You are currently able to create multiple quota links, but only one will be shown. Under the quota bar is enough space to show multiple buttons.

What do you think? @nickvergessen

Steps to reproduce

1. Install a local copy of RAWGraphs ( http://app.rawgraphs.io/ )
2. Embed as external page
3. Try to download created graph via the "download" button (in Firefox)

Expected behaviour

Should open a "safe as" browser popup

Actual behaviour

Nothing happens.

Server configuration

Operating system:
Ubuntu
Web server:
Apache2
Database:
MySQL
PHP version:

I guess this is a intended security feature, but is there any way this could be enabled?
Edit: only happens with Firefox, Chome downloads the file fine.

Hi, i wanted to ask if it would be possible that the nextcloud server itself loads the site contents. At the moment i am able to embed for example my local openhab server in the frame and visit it if i am also in the LAN. It would be awesome when this would work from anywhere.

greets

I got the Information from nextcloud that activating this app could get the web server unstable. But It do not tell me why.

So they can be displayed in the mobile apps as well.

1. Add on create
2. Modify on update
3. Remove on delete

@juliushaertl interested?

Do we currently have etags/HEAD support? :)

It's really great that external sites has the ability to handle sites that can't be embedded, however, it would be really great if there were an option to launch them in a new tab instead of closing/overwriting my Nextcloud tab.

The title says it all. Whenever someone creates a document on Google Docs that contains a slash / in the filename, it causes a sync-error in my Nextcloud client. I expect other illegal characters could also produce the same error, but I have only experienced it with slashes.

Login into Drive and changing the file name fixes the error, but maybe some type of escape function should be implemented for illegal file name characters.

NC and External app are both most recent stable versions and the server is a RPI with the latest Raspbian.

cc @nickvergessen @juliushaertl

It would useful if there was an option to open certain links in a new window. Would solve issues of sameorigin etc, whilst still providing quick links for users.

The admin should be able to add links to the settings menu as well

Suggestion is:

• link (current)
• settings (right side menu)
• quota (?)

Thank you for app, but can you add user separation for link (by groups) ?

Nextcloud 12.0.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new external link
2. Upload bug.svg
3. Select bug.svg as icon of new link (Source : https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.8/svgs/solid/bug.svg)

Expected behaviour

The bug.svg should be visible in the appbar

Actual behaviour

Only the name of the external link is displayed :(

bug.zip

I had opened nextcloud/apps#20 because no separate repository existed that time.

Affected apps

The external sites app

Expected behaviour

The external sites app shouldn't cause a security warning when custom icons have been copied to the ./apps/external/img directory and have been assigned to external site links. Additional icons in that directory should be excluded from the security check or the app should be extended to load icons from a different location which is not checked by the security function.

Actual behaviour

The external sites app causes a security warning when custom icons are copied to the ./apps/external/img directory and assigned to an external site link.

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy a new icon file to the directory ./apps/external/img
2. Open Administration -> Additional settings -> External sites
3. Assign a new icon to an external site link.
4. Install a new app etc. so that a complete security check is forced. (unfortunately I don't know if it's possible to force a check from the command line.
5. A security warning is shown because an unknown file was found in the directory:

I Think its a routing problem.
After login the URL should be something like external/1 but it is external/ thats the Problem

Still look like that, how update?

I’d like to optionally add my icons from a user (or admin) defined folder.

When the user does not have the given language, the page should not be displayed.

• configure https://google.com
• get following error: Refused to display 'https://www.google.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

This is caused by nextcloud/server#4072 because now this option is added to every request: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/abe4a19cbc44b34bf171d1e9499c3e834364bd31/lib/base.php#L674-L674

@LukasReschke Any idea how to solve this? We need the external app.

Hello,

I'm hoping advice can be provided on how I can solve an issue I'm having with External sites when accessing Nextcloud from outside our network.

I've installed within our network a Nextcloud Server and a Guacamole (remote access) server. From within my network I can connect to our Guacamole server from the Nextcloud External Sites icon with no issues as we have the Guacamole server using https through reverse proxy (from our Nethserver).

Problem occurs though when I login to our Nextcloud from outside our network. The Guacamole External Sites will not load. The error I'm seeing is:

took too long to respond

Do you have any advice on how to access an external site link from Nextcloud when accessing Nextcloud from outside our network? From within our network it works fine. I suspect this is a DNS issue or timeout issue.

Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

How does the site's address change, icon change... in the database? Where is the location of the data in the nextcloud database please?

Thanks,

I installed without issue and runs. {Nextcloud 12.0.5, MySQL, php7}.
My interface looks different with less options.
Is it possible to have an option to log into the external site. I'm using both Joomal3 and NextCloud 12.0.5 and want to be able to have just one login.

Then the menu looks broken.

@nickvergessen Wasn't this fixed in the past? Could you have a look at this?

Please consider allowing unprivileged users to mount their own external sites under Personal Settings. Currently only an admin can do this.

A new layout was introduced with #35

But this hides some info, which helps to quickly find the entry you were looking for.
It would be cool, if we could have icons for the devices:

• Android App
• iOS App
• Desktop client
• Browser
• All devices

@jancborchardt could you help with those please? :)

Maybe we could also add icons for the languages in the server one day, so there is a flag for each language which can be used in the overview to identify the entries quickly.

Hey there!

I'm changing all my servers from RSA to ECC (ED25519) SSH-Keypairs. I hope NC will support it soon, so I can switch my file server too. Thanks in advance! <3

Hi,
would it be possible to encrypt the url-parameters, so that you cannot see the userid in the source-code of the iframe?

The user has to enter a salt and a password, so he can decrypt the url-parameter later in his php script.
