Good morning

Since version 2.3, external tools no longer work, except for one.
I use external tools quite a bit and apart from the one based on explorer.exe, none of them work anymore since the latest updates.
I kept a machine with console v 2.2.3 and the tools are OK.

Here's what I have: In this list when I launch the tool:
Explorer works
Notepad++: error message
The others: nothing happens
Any ideas?

Good morning,
The reasons could be:

• that the executables do not have a full path.

• The command requires a shell (a CMD) to display something. This is the case with ping. In this case, put cmd.exe in the executable and start the arguments with /C

• cmd.exe should also be used as an executable if you need to expand environment variables, for example.

The code for executing commands has been modified since version 2.2.3, and it would be interesting to improve this part with a "run command in a shell" checkbox

Remarks :
the settings are now at "Mustache" format (that is, with double curly braces) {{ ip }} instead of {ip}
(for information on Mustache:) https://blog.synopse.info/?post/2014/04 ... phi-part-2 )

The old {ip} notation is still supported for the few parameters that existed in that form:
{ip} is replaced by {{ main_ip}}
{uuid} replaced by {{ uuid }}
{computer_fqdn} replaced by {{computer_fqdn}}

Now all columns of the inventory grid data are usable in external commands. (This is indicated in parentheses by right-clicking on the column headers in the grid.)
Mustache is a template language also used in the console for HTML views (equipment inventory, audit). Clicking "Edit template" displays it and allows customization.

Good morning,

For my part, I added a link to the 'user' and 'computer' pages in GLPI
