How to Add a Link to External App to the Module Menu

available SINCE version 9.1

You can add a link to an external application to the Module menu.

The link is configured in Advanced Configuration Options. It opens a page with an iframe element that embeds another page with the application.

To configure a link to an external app:

Go to Administration > Configuration > Advanced Configuration Options.
Click Add.
In the Name field, specify the name of the option. It must have the following pattern: pfxExternalApp_LinkName
The Value field contains the definition of the link. Example:
{ "name":"PSPDesigner", "label":"Pricing Strategy Designer", "url":"https://developer.pricefx.eu/tools/pricing-strategies-blockly-unity/", "businessRole":"Pricing", "entryPoints":[ { "hook":"menu_visual_configuration", "label":"Pricing Strategy Designer" }, { "hook":"pricelists", "label":"Open Strategy Designer" }, { "hook":"pricelistDetail", "label":"Open Strategy Designer", "inputs":[ "pricelistId" ] } ] }

label – Defines the link as it appears in the Module menu.
url – The web address of the embedded application.

The page will not be displayed in iframe if url returns response header X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN.

businessRole – The menu item will be displayed only to users who have this business role assigned.
entryPoints – Provide a list of possible entry points (hooks) where the app can hook itself. Each entry point needs to have the following information:
path – An identifier of the entry point provided by Unity or a list of points forming a path (in a menu and its sub-menus).
label – The label of the menu item, button, etc.
tooltip – Optional tooltip/help text displayed on/next to the menu item, button, etc.
