Title: WebEA link to diagram images.
Post by: skiwi on June 18, 2021, 11:26:21 am

With PCS we now can use links to entities such as diagrams, projects, entities, etc, viz

Code: [Select]

https://example.com/WebEA?m=99&o=DB9A81E9-00C0-411d-8B89-B9A57F1FA4D7 to open WebEA in a browser.


Now, is to possible, or would it be a good idea, to have a URL that allows the diagram images to be accessed, and therefore embedded in a website?
e.g.

Code: [Select]

https://example.com/WebEA?m=99&o=DB9A81E9-00C0-411d-8B89-B9A57F1FA4D7&img=png

We were also hoping for this capability, and I'm a little disappointed that it's not possible through WebEA. It would be useful to embed up-to-date images from the repository on Confluence pages, or in Jira tasks' descriptions, for example. I hope it will be made possible in the future to link directly to the generated images in the repository, as it is already possible to link directly to the other elements.

Is it "already possible to link directly to the other elements"? How do you achieve that?

Replace the guid of the url https://example.com/WebEA?m=99&o=DB9A81E9-00C0-411d-8B89-B9A57F1FA4D7 with the guid of the object (without the curly "{}")

Such a link can be easily copied from EA (target element/diagram's "WebEA" property) - no need to replacing text in an other URL.

But it is still a WebEA link, launching full WebEA. It is not a link you can use to embed a (up-to-date or cached) diagram on external pages (e.g. Jira, Confluence), which is what I understand as "direct" link mentioned by Samuli and feature requested by skiwi.
