Embed for record viewing?

  • 1.  Embed for record viewing?

    Posted 04-25-2017 14:32
    Okay, so I'm really starting to love the QuickBase community, everyone is so helpful. This one may be a stretch, and I don't really need it, I am just curious as to whether or not it's possible. 

    I know report links pop into records as embedded, is there any way to get it so that when you click a record, it displays in the embed without having it link you to the new page? Again, just curious.

    So you are sitting on a record (let's call it a Project) and there is an embedded report of "Tasks".

    You then click on a Task and want what to happen?

    Hello,

    Are you asking to view the records that are in the underlying report link on the form?  If so then you can change the behavior of a report link by clicking edit the properties of this form element and change the radio buttons to Display the related holdings directly on the form.

    As far as using that same 'embedded' space and displaying the image, I don't think so.

    But, you can create a button that will open that record up in a smaller pop-up window.  The button would need to be on the child record report.

    Let me know if you need that code

    This would be the best workaround I think, it would be like a "preview" function almost. Would you mind sharing that code?

    So when I click on a "Task" Instead of redirecting me to the screen that displays that record. I was wondering if it could just display it on the embed

    Create a formula-text field, and use this:

    "<a class='Vibrant Success' onclick=\"var a=window.open('https://www.google.com/', 'newwindow', 'width=600,height=600');\" >Google</a>"

    Replace the google URL with your view url:  
    Something like this for viewing a contact detail record.

    URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CONTACTS] & "?a=dr&rid="&[Record ID#]

    Is there a way to disable the hyperlink behavior? i.e., force the viewer to copy/paste the URL rather than click?

    Can you explain the use case for disabling a link like that?  Why do you want this behavior?
