Turn Hostnames into hyperlinks?
list Chris Williamson
Please forgive me if I'm not reaching out to the right place.... For each host I have listed on BBDisplay, I want to turn their name into a hyperlink that takes me to a weather page for that customer's location. I was able to insert an html hyperlink into the index.html for that customer- and it worked! Though the index.html refreshes every minute and ends up removing my tag. Can someone shine some light on this for me- or direct me to the right place to ask this question? Very very much appreciated.

Hi Chris, I don't know if this is what you're after, but you could try this in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file. Add a docurl statement at the end of the CMD line under the bbdisplay section like this: CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --docurl="http://server/weather.cgi?host=%s"; This would create a link for each of the servers on the generated page, where the %s would be replaced with the server name. You will not need to restart anything, the next page generated should contain the links. The %s that returns the hostname of the computer/client is the only variable I know of, there does not seem to be an IP address equivalent. I guess you would want to create a script on the other server that parses the hostname and does something intelligent ... Regards, -- Magnus Carlebjork Stockholm, Sweden +46 76 116 9008

Hi Chris, On each host in the bb-hosts file you can add href links to the NAME: tag such as: 0.0.0.0 myhostname.dyndns.org #NAME:"<a href=http://myhostname.dyndns.org>My Host</a>" This replaces the html links on all the bb pages from taking you to the group/page that the host belongs to, to whatever you specified in the NAME field. I hope this is what you were after! Regards, Phil Meech On Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 5:45 PM, Chris Williamson <

You can also create small hostname.html files with hyperlinks in the www/notes directory. Here you can put information about the host and what ever you like. Regards, Bert Klomp

Hi Chris,
On each host in the bb-hosts file you can add href links to the NAME: tag such as:0.0.0.0<http://0.0.0.0>; myhostname.dyndns.org<http://myhostname.dyndns.org>; #NAME:"<a href=http://myhostname.dyndns.org>My Host</a>"
▸
This replaces the html links on all the bb pages from taking you to the group/page that the host belongs to, to whatever you specified in the NAME field.
I hope this is what you were after!

I have used the NAME tag in the host file also but how do you go about getting it to open in a new page. Because when I do: 0.0.0.0 myhostname.dyndns.org #NAME:"<a href=http://myhostname.dyndns.org target=_blank>My Host</a>" My hostname disappears. I have also tried it like this: 0.0.0.0 myhostname.dyndns.org #NAME:"<a href="http://myhostname.dyndns.org"; target="_balnk">My Host</a>" And it does the same thing. Thanks, -Josh
