<p>In this example, the user is allowed to enter the reportid and period manually, thus allowing them to choose which type of report and the period that it covers, they want to produce.</p> <p>Listed in the SSIs (server-side variables) section, there is an array of SSI variables that can be used in your HTML code to automatically insert a drop-down list of valid report periods - for the period parameter.</p> <p>Further, there may be times when a drop-down list is needed in your HTML page that holds a list of all the extension groups that have been set-up. Clearly, a static HTML page would not suffice here because the list of extension groups may change. In this case, you must use the server-side variable named <span class="keyword">#SSI_EXTNGROUP</span> to magically do this for you.</p> <p>The difference between actioning a report using the <span class="keyword">POST</span> method instead of the <span class="keyword">GET</span> method, ensures that the parameters you send the <span class="keyword">RHDL.EXE</span> object are hidden from your web browser's address bar. This can sometimes be desirable from a security point of view.</p> |
There are other scripts available for administering your extensions configuration remotely via a web browser, and in the standard installation you will be able to select this from the main menu. However, given the scope of this manual, this script is not described here.
Bar Graph
We have also provided a useful gadget for displaying a small bar graph image when passed a parameter between 0 and 100, which reflects a percentage. Try it using the following example:
http://tim.yourcompany.com/bar.jpg?percent=75
Restart Server
A script is also included which invokes a restart of the TIM server. Be aware that it is the whole application that is restarted - not just the web server. The script needs one parameter named sure to equal yes. Suggested use is as follows:
