Right, so I've had a look at the code and it seems that to open a site at a certain page you need to do this:

[yourfrogurl]/app/os?site=[site_uuid]&page=[page_external_link]

So, the external link for a page is basically the page name with the spaces replaced by dashes - for example: "page 1" will become "page-1"

How you get this page external link easily I don't know, but you could try using the page picker widget preference type and seeing what that returns for you, for example:

 page: {
                type: 'pagepicker',
                label: 'label.page_url',
                defaultValue: JSON.stringify({
                    page_uuid: '',
                    site_uuid: ''
                })
            }

and then using the page uuid that the pref gives you and then making a call to get the page object, which may have the external link name in it.

Sites.Models.Pages.findOne({page_uuid: page.page_uuid}).done(function(data){
	//do something with data here
});

No idea if that will work, but would be worth a try. If I get a spare moment (ahahahahahahaha) I'll have a look.

Thanks @adamw Must be bug fixing time if a new frog update is about to drop!

This approach seems to cause frog to reload which is a bit weird and you lose the sites already open (including the one with the picture series). Is there a way to modify this code that opens a site?

Frog.Model.api('sites.getByUuid', {
  uuid: uuid
}).done(function(resp) {
  FrogOS.openSite({
    site: resp.data.link,
    page: resp.pages[page-uuid]
  });
});

If not, what about using just the code to open the site with a timeout to trigger that site's menu changelocation event?

Started to use this today but it's quite slow to navigate to the page linked. Is this normal?

@pconkie

When you say slow.......  how slow???  Its working ok here!! 

[pconkie 595]

I've not noticed any delay

[gbligh 241]

Here is a video. You'll see the mouse clicks in the video. It lags when I choose 'Room Booking Request'. I've only set up 1 image now to test.

That doesn't look good...  have you tried turning it on and off again???

@adamw @Graham Quince any ideas why this might be so slow?

[pconkie 595]

It uses the same code as the ‘menu’ frog code widget. Do you have this one downloaded? Just wondering if you added this to that page - do you get the same delay?  Second thought is perhaps it’s something about the new crystal theme - try changing theme for a minute and see if the delay persists.  I’ll look at the code again tomorrow to see if anything else comes to light 

[gbligh 241]

The 'menu' frog code widget seems to work fine which is odd. I changed the theme too and it's the same.

[gbligh 241]

Wonder if the speed issues have been identified yet? Or is it just me  

[gbligh 241]

@pconkie - it turns out is was running slow due to the size of the size ....

Did you every figure out if the widget could open another Frog site?
