Method of Converting OBE32 Record ID's into Decimal Integers
After recently following Dan Diebolt's exciting Service Worker Travel Log, I am eager to exploit the many cool things they do. However, I am stuck with a problem that I can't seem to work around.
when creating a link to a specific record, QB will allow users to do create a link using integers, e.g. jamestkirk.quickbase.com/bgnc1701q?a=er&rid=2001
however, when I'm editing, viewing etc (I understand this URL changes based on function), QB will give me (what I think) is an OBE32 link. So the link looks like link: jamestkirk.quickbase.com/bgnc1701q?a=er&r=gqj&rl=ftf
Is there a way to convert the OBE32 into the integer? I'm asking because I know service workers will allow me to log the URL's a QB user visits. The logs show the OBE URL. QB wil create an integer URL for me, but these two cannot match up.
This ability to keep track of users in QB is big fat deal for me (click resistant employees) but I'm trying to figure out a way to link my list of URL's visited to the actual records so I can keep track of who viewed them.
Any ideas are very appreciated. Thank you.
