Custom HTML?

All,

I'm new to NPM and I'm trying to see if there's a way I can create a custom HTML block on the node view to pull up content from another system using the IP address of the particular node I happen to be viewing at the time. I have another home grown system that collects some statistics that would be valuable to have in this view so that I wouldn't have to open up another window to get into that system. So basically I'd be pulling up something like system.nowhere.com/information_on_device where $ip_address would be the ip address of the node I was viewing. Is that possible? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Mike

Please See the Following KB to incorporate a Custom HTML Resource onto your site.

It may be possible to get the IP Address to pass to the other URL, but I have not tested this. Please try the Variable ${IP_Address}

Thanks for the reply. I've added a Custom HTML element to the Node Detail view, and the iFrame is showing properly. However, it doesn't appear to be interpreting ${IPAddress} as a variable, but rather a literal, so my homegrown webpage is complaining of the device not being found.

My bad, the variable is actually ${IP_Address}, not ${IPAddress}. My lack of familiarity with the product was to blame here. Thanks again for the feedback. This worked like a charm.
