API_AddRecord Then Redirec To Dashboard
- 2 days ago
I finally picked this back up and just wanted to advise of the solution:
Dashboard URL needs to be constructed a particular way, otherwise, you won't be redirected back to it. As I stated, I was able to come up with the URL for calling the API_AddRecord, but I couldn't get it to navigate back to my dashboard instead of showing the XML result of the API call. I discovered that I had to use:<Your_URL_For_The_API> & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "/nav/app/" & DBID() & "/action/showpage?pageID=" & YOUR_PAGE_ID#)
This works perfectly. I was already using the suggestion above to put together my URL by using a formula text field to come up with everything. Then I copied the resulting URL text and pasted into the URL of the button widget I added in my dashboard once I saw the resulting link worked. I hope this helps anyone else who needs it in the future. Let me know if I can help in anyway.
