20.3.6 SwyxIt! Web Extension
SwyxIt! Web Extension offers the option of displaying a website within the SwyxIt! Classic skin.
See also the SwyxIt! Classic documentation.
It is possible to use special variables in the website address (URL) or HTML code in the websites. These variables are exchanged for their current value (content) during the website loading process. These variables can be used flexibly and effectively in web applications. It is possible, e.g. to resolve the number of an incoming call into an address by using an Internet phonebook service. Information, such as in this case the address, can then be displayed directly in the SwyxIt! Classic skin.
Example - Variables in a URL
With the help of the following URL, it is possible to resolve the numbers of incoming calls using the Internet phonebook service "www.dastelefonbuch.de":
http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/?kw=%SelLinePeernumberPublicFormat%&cmd=search
In this example the variable "%SelLinePeernumberPublicFormat%" is used, which contains the caller number of the last (or the active) call in "non-canonical" format.
SwyxIt! Web Extension supports Microsoft Edge WebView2
When you create or edit a SwyxIt! skin, you can configure the Web Extension to use Microsoft WebView2 instead of the old Internet Explorer control. WebView2 is a runtime environment that uses the Microsoft Edge Engine to integrate web content into applications. Existing skins and all VisualContacts and VisualGroups skins shipped with Swyx 14 will continue to use the legacy control. VisualContacts and VisualGroups are not yet compatible with Microsoft Edge WebView2.
