I'm looking to create a link on my website that would open a url in oXygen. This will only be for developers, so someone with oXygen installed and configured properly. This only needs to work on MacOS.

The url is for a particular data source connection defined in oXygen that opens the resource in eXist-db. When opened directly in oXygen, a sample of the url is:

Code: Select all

oxygen:/eXist-db wmm$eXist-db wmm/db/pdfstyles/lists/1169496.xsl

I can open the resource from the command line with:

Code: Select all

open edit-in-oxygen:oxygen:/eXist-db\ wmm\$eXist-db\ wmm/db/pdfstyles/lists/1169496.xsl

What are my options for how to programmatically make this happen when clicking on a link in my website? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm not a Javascript guru, I think it would be easier for you to add a drag and drop button like we have in the "Quick Installation" section for our plugins:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... dq_wvx_qsb
The HTML code for such a button would look like this:

Code: Select all

<a
          title = "Drag and drop into the Oxygen editing area"
          href="your_URL_HERE"
          style="padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #cbcbcb; border-radius: 4px; cursor: grab;color:black;
          text-decoration:none;"><span>OPEN IN OXYGEN</span></a>

Regards,
Radu

That is pretty easy and does accomplish my major goal. Clicking it would be nicer, but dragging is acceptable. Thank you.
