Multi-File Upload

I have been using the ole Magic Buttons "Multi-file Upload" with a code page for years, love it, but it does not function correctly with the new forms. It will add the files behind the scenes, but it...

Should lend the user and edit mode on the newly created record. It needs to be a formula rich text field type.

var text rid =
   If([Record ID#]>0,
      ToText([Record ID#]),
      "%%rid%%");

var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & $rid;

"<a class='Vibrant Primary SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true href='" & $url & "'>Save & Keep Working - Rich Text</a>"

    Thanks Mark,

    I'll flip back to the new forms and give this a try - I'll follow up...

      Mark,

      Your button work nicely, but I like to control the button a bit more. My button works if the parent rid is available and fails when the parent is not yet established.

      // Begin button style
var text bgcolor = "#F1948A";
var text txtcolor = "black";
var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; width: 100px; text-align: center; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 5px 0px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 28px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none;";
// End button style

var text rid = If([Record ID#]>0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%rid%%");
var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & $rid;

// Mark's snippet
//"<a class='Vibrant Primary SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true href='" & $url & "'>Save & Keep Working - Rich Text</a>"

// My update
"<a " & $style &"'SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true href='" & $url & "'>Save & Keep Working - Rich Text</a>"

        I got this working with a couple of adjustments and removing my $style variable, but now I lose my button esthetics.

        // Begin button style
var text bgcolor = "#F1948A";
var text txtcolor = "black";
var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; width: 100px; text-align: center; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 5px 0px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 28px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none;";
// End button style

var text rid = If([Record ID#]>0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%rid%%");
var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & $rid;

//removed & $style - this is working without button style
"<a class= 'SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true href='" &$url  &"'>Save & Keep Working - Rich Text</a>"

        I just can't get across the finish line.

        Thanks, Chuck
