Adding an External Link to the Navigation Toolbar

It is possible to add an additional link into the HMP navigation toolbar that goes to an address of your choice:

1. SSH into HMP and elevate to root access.

2. Issue the following commands, where <url> is the full URL including the protocol identifier (e.g. https://), and <label> is the label used for the link in the toolbar:

   CODE

   set_config calypso.system_settings.externalUrlForLink.url "<url>"
   set_config calypso.system_settings.externalUrlForLink.label "<label>"

   For example:

   CODE

   set_config calypso.system_settings.externalUrlForLink.url "https://www.haivision.com"
   set_config calypso.system_settings.externalUrlForLink.label "Haivision Website"

   

   Note

   • The link appears for all users and is not customizable using the procedure at Customizing the Navigation Toolbar for Each Role.
   • The URL must point to an external webpage and not hosted on your HMP.

3. The change takes affect immediately. Refresh your web browser to see the results:
   

Removing the External Link

To remove the link from the toolbar use a blank string in the URL command:

set_config calypso.system_settings.externalUrlForLink.url ""
