Allowing Pop-Ups when using hyperlink to start software

NAVFuchs · 2022-11-29

Hello,

I would like to open a PDF-Viewer or other software and I used so far hyperlink, which works fine with NAV2017

With BC I get a message from the brower that I have to allow pop-up messages and I entered http://localhost:8086/BC190/
But the browser (Chrome) still does not allow to start the software.

What is wrong or how can this be solved?

best regards,

Markus

A Browser is not allowed to access your local computer file system, and therefore must not start locally installed software.
If your are trying to hyper HYPERLINK on a valid http link this will work

And is there another possibility to start software from BC? Via script, shell .dotnet etc..?

Well there are a lot of ways

but everyone have pros and cons.
To name a couple:
You can use a Azure service (you will need to develop something in ex C#)

acadon Connector (https://github.com/acadon/BC.Client.Connector.Extension)

You can write a browser plugin or use an unsupported (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/local-explorer-file-manag/eokekhgpaakbkfkmjjcbffibkencdfkl?hl=en)
