How to link to another site through the SiteMap, like CRM Help Center

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I want to add a button to the SiteMap that links to another URL and I would like the linking behavior to function like the CRM Help Center link provided by Microsoft:

1) The current tab remains the same and the navigation closes/collapses

2) The new tab contains the linked content

I've tried added a full URL to the sitemap, but this opens the new URL in an iframe within the CRM application.

I've also tried adding a web resource, as outline here, which links the nav button to a web resource that then uses window.open to open a new tab, but this leaves the originating tab in an undesirable state (an iframe remains on the original tab in the CRM application, and the screen looks very empty).

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi Jeff,

This can be done using the web resource. Within the web resource, you need to use the below JavaScript. The script ensures that after opening the external page, the screen goes back to where you were before.

================================

---------------------

<html lang="en" xmlns="www.w3.org/.../xhtml">

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<title></title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function openExternalLink() {

window.history.back();

window.open("http://www.bing.com", "_blank");

}

</script>

</head>

<body onload="openExternalLink();">

<h1>Test Web Resource</h1>

</body>

</html>

------------------------------

================================

You can refer this thread for more details-

Hope this helps.
