I have an app in the exchange called Formula URLs buttons for Dummies. It may help if you have not seen it.
When it comes to. Generalized button to do a single URL and then refresh the curr3nt page, the Syntax us this fir the refresh
"javascript:" &
"$.get('" &
$URL &
"',function(){" &
"location.reload(true);" &
"});"
& "void(0);"
If you want to execute a single URL and have a quiet pop up without a refresh, then use this syntax
"javascript:" &
"$.get('" &
$url &
"',function(){" &
"$.jGrowl('This Item has been put on PO CANCEL snooze', {life: 5000, theme: 'jGrowl-green'});" &
"});" &
"void(0);"
I know for sure all the above works.
I have a note of a post actually by Chayce, that this syntax works but I don�t know that I�ve tested it.
"javascript: {" &
"$.get('" & $DeliveryDateInOS & "');" &
"$.get('" & $PickUpDateInOS & "');" &
"$.get('" & $ProcessRec & "');" &
"location.reload();" & ;
"}"
I�m not aware of any other official documentation on how to string together multiple API calls in a low tech simple formula button. We all just keep a collection of tips and tricks.
Kirk Trachy has a great app called Magic buttons he updates every few months, so you should keep downloading that one event few months and delete you old copy.
Lastly, at the recent MPower meeting there was an app posted by actually someone who is quite new to Quick Base as a Quick Base employee and she collected about 50 tips from various internal brainiacs at QuickBase.
She plans to keep collecting tips and add them to this EOTI app.
