Joe,

the internet who knows how to add a nav bar button to OWA 2003!!!

All i need is a button which opens a link to Sharepoint in a new window.

Any help is greatly apprecieated

Kind regards

That worked perfect. I now have several custom Nav buttons with custom icons.

Thanks again for the help.

Which image is used is determined by the Serviceside code <%
RenderingUtilities.RenderNavigationBarImage(Response.Output, 0,
UserContext); %>

This gets rendered as <img class="pr"
src="8.1.85.4/themes/base/navicons.gif"> down to the browser. The same image
gets used for each link with a bit fancy placement with the style***. But
the easiest thing to do would be just to replace the line

<% RenderingUtilities.RenderNavigationBarImage(Response.Output, 0,
UserContext); %> with your own image node and as long as you get the size
and colours okay it should work.

This has worked absolutly great, thank you.

One more question, the icon on the new custom link on the Nav Bar. Where
is
it getting that from? Is it possible to specify a custom Icon?

Thanks.

To open the URL in the same window you need to use something like

<a id="yhmail" onClick="window.location.href='http://mail.yahoo.com';"
href="#">

instead. As far as I can tell OWA doesn't use frames so it not just as
easy
as setting the frame source if you want to maintain the navBars. If you
want
to navigate to another Exchange folder you could probably hack the
unav.js
file. Or maybe do some serious customization of Startpage.aspx its all
html
so it should be possible.

This is great!!

If I wanted to modify this so that the target opened in the same
window,
what would I change

onClick="window.open

to, to make the web page in my link appear in the same frame that
displays
the targets of the other links on the nav bar?

Thanks for the help.

You need to get rid of the server side code and just put your own
labels
and
Targets into the onclick event. It depends what you trying to target
you
may
need to modify a few of javascript files but for something easy for eg
this
will create a button with a label called Yahoo Mail and will launch
Yahoo
mail in a separate Window if you click the icon

<tr>
<td class="nbMnuItm">
<a id="yhmail"
onClick="window.open('http://mail.yahoo.com','mywindow','width=1200,height=700,toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=yes,resizable=yes')"
href="#">
<%
RenderingUtilities.RenderNavigationBarImage(Response.Output,
0,
UserContext); %>
<div id=divTxCtcts class=nbtx>Yahoo Mail</div>
</a>
</td>
</tr>

Hi.

I am trying to add a new button to the NAVBAR in OWA 2007. This
button
would
just be a hyperlink that would open its target when clicked on. I
have
done
this with OWA 2003, having trouble with 2007.

If I modify startpage.aspx and add the code below, a second contacts
button
is added to the NAVBAR however I can't figure out how to change its
target,
or the label on the button.

Does anyone have some sample code that could point me in the right
direction?

<% if (UserContext.IsFeatureEnabled(Feature.Contacts)) { %>
<tr>
<td class="nbMnuItm">
<a id="lnkCtcts" <%RenderOnClick("navCtcts();");%><%="
"%><%RenderHighlight(NavigationModule.Contacts); %> href="#">
<% RenderingUtilities.RenderNavigationBarImage(Response.Output, 2,
UserContext); %>
<div id=divTxCtcts
<%RenderHighlightText(NavigationModule.Contacts);%>><%=
LocalizedStrings.GetHtmlEncoded(Strings.IDs.Contacts) %></div>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
<% } %>
