Pulling a field value into a code page
I'm needing to have a page open that will show some static text and a records [Client Name] dynamically. The text is always the same, but the client name needs to be from the record where the button ...
Forum Discussion
Is this page setup as a Quick Base code page? Or do is it like a document / text file that you're opening up?
If you're familiar with Code pages - you can just throw all your text into an HTML <body></body> -
since it will never change - and then using a little bit of jQuery and a URL parameter to throw your custom name in there.
Your button would look something like:
https://yourrealm.quickbase.com/db/mainappdbid?a=dbpage&pageid=20&customer=Customer Name
You would swap your inputs for your actual realm and the actual id of the page you create - and then Customer Name would be dynamic based on your formula-url in a record
Then your code page might be something like:
//START OF CODE PAGE
<body>
<div id="customer"></div>
<div id="staticText">Your actual static text would go in here</div>
//The below link brings in jQuery for you
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>;
<script>
//This will take the input you put in your URL for 'customer' from above using jQuery
$('#customer').text(window.location.search.split('customer=')[1]);
</script>
</body>
//END OF CODE PAGE

Thank you so much for the reply Chayce.
It's a QB code page that I will link to. It just needs to bring over the Client Name, and have some basic text. I'll give your suggestion a try and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again for your help.
