Custom Menus for infoRouter

[Sarah]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to create custom menus in infoRouter? I remember reading about it somewhere.
I am trying to launch my own program when a user clicks one of these menus?

Please help.

Hello Sarah,

Yes. This is possible and it is quite simple to do.
You place an XML file in the config directory (you can find this directory under the infoRouter application directory).
This XML file defines your custom menus. Once infoRouter is restarted, these menus will become available. Presto!

Note: As of 8.1.114, we have added the ability to add custom menus to the pop-menu as well as the regular menu.

Please read this document on how to do this (Don't forget the sample XML below):
https://www.inforouter.com/downloads/v8 ... us-V80.pdf

Here is a sample XML that will do the trick:

Code: Select all

<root>
<menu name="FILE">
	<menu name="mnuUploadRarFile" caption="Upload RAR File" tiptext="Uploads rar file and Expand it on the server." target="_rarupload" action="UploadRar.aspx" />
	<menu name="mnuCreateImage" caption="Create an Image" tiptext="Create an Image Document using server side image editor." target="_createImage" action="CreateImage.aspx" />
</menu>
<menu name="EDIT">
	<menu name="mnuPackageDocuments" caption="Package Documents" tiptext="Packages the selected documents to download." target="_package" action="PackageDocuments.aspx" />
</menu>
<menu name="TOOLS" caption="test">
	<menu name="mnufaxto" caption="fax test" tiptext="Faxes to the specified fax number" target="_faxto" action="faxto.aspx" />
</menu>
<menu name="Help" caption="Help">
	<menu name="mnuHelpCreateDocument" caption="How to create a document" tiptext="Explains the options of how to create a documents" target="_help" action="/help/en/HowtoCreateDocument.htm" />
	<menu name="mnuHelpUpdateDocument" caption="How to Update a document" tiptext="Explains the options of how to update a documents" target="_help" action="/help/en/HowtoUpdateDocument.htm" />
	<menu name="mnuHelpWokflow" caption="How to start a workflow " tiptext="Explains the how to submit a document to workflow" target="_help" action="/help/en/Workflow.htm" />
</menu>
