Help with button and iframe for a news feed

General
1

Hi all,

I created a news feed for my dashboard which works well, however running it in kiosk mode is a problem.
If a user clicks on the thumb nail using code below it it takes them to the web link, but there is no back button!!!
<a target="_blank" href="{{msg.payload[0].link}}"> <img width="100%" src="{{msg.payload[0].thumb}}"/></a>

I think the answer would be to open the link in another node red tab using iframe ?

So the ui template button would need to display the thumb as now but also output the incoming link as a payload when clicked. Then a function node to send them to another tab and load the page in the iframe, keeping users within the dashboard.

I have done a lot of searching but can't seem to find a similar example, but then I'm not really sure what to search for :wink:

I could really do with some help as I haven’t yet managed to get the image button working let alone the link payload or iframe part.

TIA

Thanks that works ok for a fixed link, but I need a dynamic button fed with new links on rotation.
I have it working using standard html above.

The following code doesn't work but I think shows what I need to achive, could you help with correct syntax please ?


<md-button class="vibrate touched filled"  ng-bind-html="msg.payload[0].thumb"  ng-click="send(msg.payload[0].link)"> 

<img hight"100%" src="{{msg.payload[0].thumb}}"/>

</md-button>

OK got the picture working now but still not getting the link payload when clicked guess its just syntax, any ideas?


<md-button class="vibrate touched filled"  ng-click="send( { payload: {{msg.payload[0].link}}    })"> 

<img src="{{msg.payload[0].thumb}}"  width="100%"/>

</md-button>
