URL formula button to open pop-up box to collect data

no problem,

URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_PROJECTS] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm"

Where I have [_DBID_PROJECTS] you would instead have the _DBID_ of your table - you get that from the Advanced properties of the table.

You can do do this

URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_PROJECTS] & "?a=nwr"

Do you need to pre-populate any fields or are you looking to just pop up a blank form?

M>no problem ... URLRoot()

I think the OP wanted a modal PopUp dialog not the opening of a new page. This example from June 19, 2011 demonstrated how you can create modal dialogs in the style of QuickBase's Popup (click on Test1 and Test2 buttons to demo):

MyPopDivs Not YourPopDivs

Pastie Database
https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bgcwm2m4g?a=dr&rid=7


Note that the code in the pastie and links points to the www subdomain not haversineconsulting as it was created before the great migration to UX2.

Can this be used in combination with jq-signature?

I would like to add a formula url button to forms so that on click

• a signature canvas pops up with a save button
• a signature is drawn with stylus, finger or mouse
• on click of save button the signature canvas is either converted to a standard sized image of some sort and saved in an attachment field or is converted to a data string and stored in a url field
• after save return to form with signature shown

Clicking the button again should allow for overwrite if the signer wants to redo.

Here is the jq-signature page that I have been studying:
http://bencentra.github.io/jq-signature/

And here is another page that uses js/jquery.signature.js:

Juiced has an add on for this. http://www.juicedtech.com/add-ons/sig...

Thanks. I am interested in the process of using a url button and code page.

I suggest contracting Dan Diebolt

He has a working example in this thread.

Dan, for the life I me I can't get "Test2" on "MyPopDivs Not YourPopDivs" to work, even in your example app. Test1 works fine, but not Test2.

Is the button formula really:

"javascript:var QBU_rid=" & [Record ID#] & ";" &
"$.getScript('https://www.quickbase.com/db/bfuw7wt8a?a=dbpage&pagename=Test2.js');void(0);

Sorry for being a java newbie

I am using this for vehicle tracking. I have a table called 'Locations'. Every time the vehicle changes locations, I want to be able to click on this button, have it populate the date/time field, and open a new record that populates the related data. Is that possible?
