Field Background Color without IOL Technique
For years i've created awesome looking apps that use a lot of custom buttons and layouts, and a lot of this is due to the fact that I can use IOL and Javascript to 'remove' some of the default QuickBase styling, one of the most annoying being the grey-ish background that appears in every field, even when you are using that field to display an image or some text styled with HTML/CSS. With IOL i was able to change this color to white using javascript which led to a much prettier look. The images attached show a Time Tracking app, the first image as it appears now with the grey backgrounds turned off and the second image is how it looks without (second one pretty ugly as you can see) Does anyone know if there is anyway to achieve this while complying with the new QuickBase guidelines around javascript usage? I would think the simplest solution would be for QuickBase to allow us to turn off or change the color of field backgrounds natively but not sure that is going to happen. Any input would be appreciated. ------------------------------ Gary McRoberts ------------------------------Re: Full report not working for non admin users?
I am seeing the same behavior and tried to troubleshoot myself and found that its happening when the user is in a role that has the table that contains the calendar report hidden, if you unhide the table the calendar will display correctly. Not ideal but a temporary workaround until it's fixed.Formula Builder Cursor Position Incorrect
When editing a formula in the new formula builder, for example in a rich text field, where you position the cursor and where the edit takes places is not correct. For example I can position my cursor after a field name such as [fieldname] and start typing, but the text I type appears about 4 - 5 characters to the right in the middle of another part of my formula. Is anyone else having this problem? It's the same in both Safari and ChromeRefresh Current Time before Creating or Editing Records
I have a set of URL formulas that run in a Formula -Text field when a button is clicked. I'm invoking 2 sets of URLs in an HREF from pre-defined variables as follows: &$URLeditlast& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLnew)& The URLeditlast URL puts a stop time in on a current record, the URLnew creates a new record with a start time. This is the basis of a time tracking system The problem is if the user leaves the page sitting idle the time doesn't' refresh. For example, if I create my new time entry at 4:49pm and the leave the page sitting for 10 minutes then click the button to create a new entry, the times recorded is still 4:49pm, not 4:59pm. I know if the user refreshes the page before they click the button this would solve the problem, however I do not want the user to have to do this (i have over 100 users in this quickbase all day long and there would be risk of time errors if people forget to refresh). I would like the QuickBase self-refresh when the button is clicked and then run the two URLs above to perform the actions with hopefully a refreshed time value I've tried many things and cannot get this to work, i'm hoping someone has some ideas. Thanks!
