Custom pages

Michal

yes i know if i put it in the root folder the page loads but if i leave it in xcustom it doesn't work. So there is a problem in the path when calling the require_once function.

require_once "../includes/inc_all.php";

but i think this is correct.

I can reproduce this is a bug on how the incclude / require paths work. The includes used to be in in the root web dir now they are in the includes dir which breaks pages in xcustom/ will work on a fix for next release.

I can tell you that in older versions of PHP, it mattered whether or not you used single quotes or double quotes when using a require or include declaration. Try it with single quotes just for giggles.

when I want custom tables in DB itflow. I have to name it like xcustom_name like scripts or its better to make whole new DB for our custom modules?

Hi @Michal

Hold off on the custom pages we are reworking this function for the next release 2025-08-20, We are open to suggestions in the meantime. xcustom will be renamed to custom and will have its own post folder/

johnny TLDR: Feature Request - iframe option for "custom links"

I didn't realize custom pages was an option. I assume "custom links" will be used to link the pages. In that case, custom links should have an option to display the page in an iframe to stay inside the UI. This would be handy for other things to.

johnny deets please, prepping to drool!

@felix yes the custom link can link in frame for custom pages

felix

johnny Custom links can currently open pages in iframes? Every time I try it opens the page directly, leaving the ITFlow UI.

Michal

Yeah I know, but how to handle DB. We need custom module, where we need store data, so its better to make new tables insted of expand for example client table for future updates from your side. And do I need name new tables with custom prefix?

digibandit

Michal Would custom fields fix this? A way to dynamically add/edit/update/delete/etc entries for things that are specific to each itflow using company?

Michal

digibandit no, we need more complex module to store data and even calculate with them, so custom field, or file module is not enough.

So I just created few scripts, with custom tables in DB. After new release i will move to new custom folder. But im woried about custom tables in DB, so my question is, do i need any futher change in DB? Have to be tables names with "custom prefix? Or it doesent matrer and future updates will be ok, with my added tables into DB.

We don't currently have any support for custom table rows or tables, but adding your own tables shouldn't break anything so long as they don't conflict (xcustom_ prefix would be fine)

No, you would need to re-build the page header/footers yourself. It's quite simple though:

Agent page:

<?php
require_once "includes/inc_all.php";

enforceUserPermission('module_something'); // if required

require_once "includes/footer.php";

Client page:

<?php
require_once "includes/inc_all.php";

<... your code here ...>

<?php require_once "includes/footer.php"; ?>

Michal

Thanks for reply. I will add prefix.

johnny

Also if your adding custom tables, it might be a good idea to prefix them with custom_
