Custom visual open new report

amassip — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 09:38:10 GMT

Hello everybody

I want to know if it is possible to open a new powerBI report when the user clicked on a custom visual ?

var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("class");
			for(var x=0; x<elements.length; x++)
			{
			  elements[x].addEventListener("click", function(e) {
				window.top.location.href = url;
			  });
			}

I got the following error :

Refused to display 'https://myurl.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.

So I know the header depends of the owner but I wonder if I missed something else ?

Thanks

@amassip,

So far, I do not find an available way. You may submit an idea.

I am able to display hyperlink with this code:

'<a onclick=parent.postMessage("childframe","*");> '+ click here +' </a>'

But when i click on 'click here' it doesn't transfer the message even if the event is reached

window.addEventListener("message", function (event) {
console.log(event.data); //display data but not the parameter
});

Update

With this

'<a onclick=window.postMessage("childframe","*");> '+ task.typeDate.type+' </a>'

And this code :

// Create IE + others compatible event handler
var eventMethod = window.addEventListener ? "addEventListener" : "attachEvent";
var eventer = window[eventMethod];
var messageEvent = eventMethod == "attachEvent" ? "onmessage" : "message";

// Listen to message from child window
eventer(messageEvent, function (e) {
    console.log('parent received message!:  ', e.data);
}, false);

I can see my parameter but the origin source is unknwon so it is not safe at all
