Apps link

trondandre

Hi,
I want to be able to open app links e.g. webmail, custom links etc. in a new page. As it is now it takes you away from the admin panel and straight to e.g. webmail.
Does anyone know how I can change the way links in apps open?

I would guess right mouse button and open in new tab, or fork Mailcow and DYI

Thank you but "right mouse button and open in new tab# is not want i want to do.
For me is with be an good practic to open in new page.

Ok than you most likely you will need to modify source code of Mailcow, that can be achieved by forking and modifying original source or by using browser plugin like Greasemonkey that allow you to modify webpage from browser in same sort of automation perspective

Or try to add request in in Mailcow git if developer sees your proposition as usefull they may make this change for future release, also you can consider Support Mailcow, this way you get paid support for your request https://www.servercow.de/mailcow?lang=en#support

This is for the client logg in with only e-mail so i have to modify source code and i can do it if i now where to do it. 🙂

trondandre

Is it someone now how to do this?

ETNyx

Well, if you do not know, I would not recommend to do this, you are asking for troubles,…

Anyway, i would guess this is the line you need to modify by adding html attribute target="_blank"

Thank you for the replay.
It seems this base templates do not affect at the app links at all.
Any other suggestion?

ETNyx

Did you try to understand what you are doing? How about try to read the code by yourself? 6 line later, similar link from different source named app_links

ETNyx
Yes i know what to do, but in fact i can remove all the line in base templates without affect anythings (to test)
It must be some another place this must be done.

Have you properly restarted the stack?
With

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

If i change the file in base.twig in line 99 and in line 105 and then use like esackbauer say all is work very well!
When cahnge the line 105 also the new added app links open in new page.
The code is: <a href=“{{ app.link }}” class=“dropdown-item” target=“_blank”>{{ app.name }}</a>

Thank you for your help!

Do you think the editet code in base.twig will be writing over when update Mailcow?

Also you should check if some kind of cache is involved that you need to invalidate, this could be done by down & up, but not sure, from top of mine head there is at least some cache on php container mem/opcache or something like this. Also this app/template is written in twig some cache can be part of twig too you need to dig deeper if you want to modify stack by yoursel,…
