Tips for Related Content

13

Related Content Framework Tips

• Use redirection iScripts for partial query strings:

– iScript prepares URL for target and redirects to target

– Examples:

• Joining address fields for a map

• Creating a UCM search string

14

Function IScript_MapVendor()Local string &setid = %Request.GetParameter("SETID");Local string &vendor_id = %Request.GetParameter("VENDOR_ID");...

SQLExec(SQL.XXXX, &setid, &vendor_id, &name, &address, ...);

%Response.RedirectURL("http://mapq.st/embed?q=" |EncodeURL(&address | ... | " (" | &name | ")&maptype=map"));

End-Function;

Related Content Framework TipsComponents

• For RCF components, disable “Internet” features on

component:

– Pagebar

– Toolbar

– Folder tabs

15

– Hyperlinks

Client-side MashupsSecurity Considerations

• Related Content Mashup?

– Isolation – browser security protects against cross-site

scripting

• JavaScript Mashup?

– Using <script> tag that sources external content?

16

– Using <script> tag that sources external content?

• Gives external site complete access to your page content

– NOT SAFE!!

– Using <img> tag that sources external content?

• Uses browser security settings

– Can create and read cookies, but can’t access cookies

across domain

– Can’t access page content
