Hi Everyone,

When having in a parameter table an URL, is it possible to create child shapes and instead of showing the value, use that value as URL to show the content?

The desired result would be to have every child shape showing every URL .jpg  and refresh it every X seconds.

Thanks.

Hi Edson,

Could you try adding '#' in front of the URL? From DataMiner Help - Linking a shape to a webpage:

If you put a “#” sign in front of the URL, the webpage will be displayed inside the shape.

I performed a small test by setting the URL in a single string parameter and setting the shape data 'Link' as follows:

Link: #[Param:DMAID/EID,PID]

The placeholder is replaced with the URL defined in the string parameter. I believe it should work for a child shape generation.

Regarding the URL refresh, please could you follow the suggestions indicated in this Dojo question? (Image thumbnail in Visual Overview not refreshing)
