Default External Site Not Working

[benlochard]

I have seen this quested posted in a couple different forums and nobody seems to have an answer and I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I am just doing something wrong? I really want to use owncloud as a replacement for onedrive, but I'd love to be able to use the external site feature as a way to incorporate it into our existing employee portal.

I would like to be able to be able to navigate to an external site upon login - this doesn't seem to be working like it is supposed to.

I have tried changing the config.php file to show:
'defaultapp' => 'external' (page doesn't load)
'defaultapp' => 'external/1' (redirects to files - this is the correct path of the actual url)
'defaultapp' => 'external?id=1' (redirects to files)

Anyone have any workarounds or ideas how to fix this?

Find the file
/lib/private/util.php

Find:
$location = $urlGenerator->getAbsoluteURL('/index.php/apps/' . $appId . '/');

Insert directly after this:
if ("external"==$appId)
{
$location=$location."1"; //you can use other page numbers if you like
}

same problem here @MichaelBarth can't find this $location in /lib/private/util.php

any other solution?

Thanks!

Hi,John
what Version of OC are you using?
I’m using 8.2.2 stable and I attached my modificated owncloud/lib/private/util.php so you can try it.

You have also to change the config.php in the owncloud/config folder and add

'defaultapp' => 'external‘,

Hope that works for you.

Michael

… and here is the complete function I changed in util.php

/**
* Returns the URL of the default page
* based on the system configuration and
* the apps visible for the current user
*
* @return string URL
*/
public static function getDefaultPageUrl() {
$urlGenerator = \OC::$server->getURLGenerator();
// Deny the redirect if the URL contains a @
// This prevents unvalidated redirects like ?redirect_url=:[email protected]
if (isset($_REQUEST['redirect_url']) && strpos($_REQUEST['redirect_url'], '@') === false) {
$location = $urlGenerator->getAbsoluteURL(urldecode($_REQUEST['redirect_url']));
} else {
$defaultPage = \OC::$server->getAppConfig()->getValue('core', 'defaultpage');
if ($defaultPage) {
$location = $urlGenerator->getAbsoluteURL($defaultPage);
} else {
$appId = 'files';
$defaultApps = explode(',', \OCP\Config::getSystemValue('defaultapp', 'files'));
// find the first app that is enabled for the current user
foreach ($defaultApps as $defaultApp) {
$defaultApp = OC_App::cleanAppId(strip_tags($defaultApp));
if (static::getAppManager()->isEnabledForUser($defaultApp)) {
$appId = $defaultApp;
break;
}
}
$location = $urlGenerator->getAbsoluteURL('/index.php/apps/' . $appId . '/');
if ("external"==$appId)
{
$location=$location."1"; //you can use other page numbers if you like
}
}
}
return $location;
}

Thank you. You’re so helpful.

Mind sending this patch as a PR ?

@PVince81 done: owncloud/core#28962
I made the path user-configurable, so it can be set to things other than /1.
