  • 1.  Javascript popup in new supported way

    Posted 01-03-2023 15:19
    I have a field that has javascript embedded in it to provide a confirmation to the user when they acknowledge via a button.  The code is at the end of this post.

    How do I do this in the new approved javascript format?  I guess I need a code page but I basically searched the internet to get this to work, I am not really familiar with javascript.  I dont know how to call a code page or if I just simple move this javascript into it and make it a js file?

    var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_THE_ELITE_WAY_VIEWS] &
    "?a=API_AddRecord" &
    "&_fid_6=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#]) &
    "&apptoken=HIDDENFORSECURITY" &
    "&_fid_8=" & URLEncode(User()) &
    "&_fid_10=" & URLEncode(Today());

    "javascript:" &"$.get('" & $URL & "',function(){" &"location.reload(true);" &"});" & "void(0);alert('Confirmed');"

    If you are just looking to execute a URL and refresh the page, this here is sample syntax.  But it will not do a pop up.

    var text Approve = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & ToText([Record ID#])
    & "&_fid_144=Approved";

    var text RefreshPage = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect&z=" & Rurl();

     
    $Approve
    & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($RefreshPage)

    I do want to alert the user that the button executed.  Vs just the page blinking as it refreshes.

    Where we cannot have javascript in the formula url field and it needs to be in a code page

    We have a checkbox that gets checked when the button is clicked as part of the url. Then we surround that with an IF statement. When the checkbox is checked we can show/hide the button, or change the color of the button, or change the name written in the button based upon the state of the checkbox. That seems to give Users enough feedback.

    Jim, you are probably right.  That is probably the way to do it.  I can also setup a pipeline so that if the training is updated that checkbox clears to ensure the user is prompted again to review it.
