Quickbase Code page to query a table and display records
I have created a code page which should query a table and display certain records using API -GenResults table. I am going to embed this code page in forms. Based on value in each record(in field - test temp inventory query) the contents in the table changes. Below is the code page code <html> <head> <script src= ~test temp inventory query~ lang="text/javascript"> </script> <style> td.m { font-family:verdana; font-size:70%; } td.hd { font-family:verdana; font-size:70%; font-weight:bold; color:white;} </style> </head> <body> <h1>Example</h1> <table cellpadding=5 bgcolor=lightgreen> <tr> <td> <script lang="text/javascript"> qdbWrite(); </script> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </head> </html> The third line, value of src determines the query. ~test temp inventory query~ is the field where query is created as a formula text . The value in formula text looks something like this https://Domain.quickbase.com/db/iddbdbdbid?a=API_GenResultsTable&apptoken=tokn123 t=1&query={'29'.CT.'TYCU700'}OR{'29'.CT.'TYRD60'}OR{'29'.CT.'TYTG8580'}&clist=29.17.7.9.8.38.44.49&slist=17 But the contents are not getting pulled correctly. Which is best way to pass value in field to the QuickBase code page and display the link to code page as embedded in the same form. ?Automatically save a form page as PDF and insert into attachment field?
I've long wondered if there's a solution that's shareable where I could click a button and have a form page automatically saved in PDF format and inserted into an attachment field. I realize that there are QSPs that provide this service, but I'm more interested in knowing/understanding how to do this myself. My impression is that you would need to use JS to write the form to PDF and then encode to base64, and then you could use the base64 result to insert into API_UploadFile. My JS knowledge is minimal but I can cobble stuff together through StackExchange plus trial and error. I'm not worried about the API end of things - that seems pretty straight-forward. Has anyone tried this themselves that they'd be willing to share? I've looked on the forum before but it seems the answers always fall into, "Hire a QSP," or "Use IOL or some other technique that is now deprecated." Presumably I'd need to call the JS from a code page? Or would I need a local API call on my end to launch something? If it's possible to do everything in QB without having to host something myself, that's obviously the preferable and most portable method, but if that's 100% not possible, I have access to AWS. Big picture goal is the user clicks a button, button calls a script that runs through about 20-30 records in a table, uses a specific QB form page to generate a PDF for each record, PDF is uploaded into corresponding record attachment field. No templates or anything. Short of that, clicking the button once per record would also be acceptable, but it would be rad to grab the whole table in one go.
Code Page - Refresh not working
I have a URL Formula button on a record form, whose purpose is to prompt user for text input, update a text field with that input, and change status of record to "Done". I used the "Prompt for Input and Refresh" example in the code pages samples: https://resources.quickbase.com/db/bq8mgh24g?a=dr&rid=10414 After clicking the button, the field value updates, but the rather than display the record refreshed, I get an error: 404 Error, Page Unrecognized. So the first part of fetch code is executing correctly, but it seems the redirect is what is failing. Any help would be appreciated! Here's my button code: var text urlToExecute = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&apptoken=MYAPPTOIKEN&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_26="; URLRoot() & "db/" & AppID() & "?a=dbpage&pageid=5" // Open code page 5 & "&url=" & URLEncode($urlToExecute) // Pass the URL to execute Here's the script and form portion of my code page 5: <script> function run() { $('#form').hide(); $('#status').show(); const input = document.getElementById('input').value; let urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search); let url = urlParams.get('url') + encodeURIComponent(input); let redirect = urlParams.get('redirect'); let landing; if(redirect){ landing = redirect; }else{ landing = document.referrer; } fetch(url, { method: 'post', mode: 'no-cors', headers: { 'Content-type': 'text/plain' } }).then((response) => { rdr(landing); }) } function rdr(landing){ // Redirects to the specified landing page, if this page is the landing page as well, then redirect to the app home page if(landing && landing !== window.location.href) { window.location.href = landing; }else{ window.location.href = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname; } } </script> <div class="container" id="form"> <h2>Input Needed</h2> <form onSubmit="run();"> <div class="form-group"> <label for="input">Please provide some input</label> <input class="form-control" id="input" autofocus> </div> <a class="btn btn-primary" onclick="run()" role="button">Submit</a> <a class="btn" onclick="window.location.href = document.referrer;" role="button">Cancel</a> </form> </div> <div class="container" id="status" style="text-align:center" hidden> <h2>Making API Calls, will redirect once complete.</h2> <div class="loader" id="loader"></div></div> <br> </body> </html>
Displaying Formula - Text Field on a Code Page
I have a code page input form as a easy web intake interface for our clients. I was able with the form wizard to grab all the input fields (example code is below). However, I was wondering if it was possible to add a formula field to the code page? Specifically a formula - text field that is just static text but needs to be on the code page. Is it possible to put a formula field that is static on a code page (html/javascript): <h2 span style="color: white; font-family: Sans-serif; text-align: center; background-color: #358281;">Customer Data Intake Form</h2><form name=qdbform method=POST onsubmit='return validateForm(this)' encType='multipart/form-data' action=https://blahblah.quickbase.com/db/XXXXXXXXx?act=API_AddRecord&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <input type=hidden name=fform value=1> <table class="center"> <table> <tr><td style="font-family: Sans-serif;" class=m>Contractor Business Name:</td> <td class=m><input type=text size=40 name=_fid_6 ></td></tr> <tr><td style="font-family: Sans-serif;" class=m>End User Customer First Name:</td> <td class=m><input type=text size=40 name=_fid_7 ></td></tr> ----------Where the formula - text field will go--------------------- ------------------------------ Lija Harris ------------------------------
Code Page and URL Formula Field Button Issue
Hello I am trying to get a url formula button, From Magic Buttons, to work to where it creates a child record and opens it in edit mode. I have created a Code Page and URL Formula button field on the desired table. For some reason it keeps coming up with a error every time I try it. Can yall help me figure out whats wrong?

The button passes the apptoken, rid and target dbid through the button to the page. This code adds a child record to the targetdbid table and links it back to the parent record. It then redirects back to that targetdbid table on the record that was just created but in er or edit mode so you can work on the record already knowing the Record ID#. --> Here is the Code for the Button Field URLRoot()&"db/"&AppID()&"?a=dbpage&pagename=createchildsaveandedit.html&targetdbid="&[_DBID_DOCUSIGN_DOCS_JT]& "&referencefield=28"& "&rid="&[Record ID#]& "&Patient Full Name="&[Patient - Full Name]& "&Patient Email="&[Patient - Email]& "&Patient DOB="&[Patient - DOB]& "&Patient Phone="&[Patient - Phone]& "&Physician Full Name="&[Patient - Doctor - Name]& "&Physician Email="&[Patient - Doctor - Email]& "&Physician NPI="&[Patient - Doctor - NPI]& "&apptoken=b8gyswcbukjqz3duspknhrw6x4f" // This includes your app's application token and your destination table DBID. // When you press this button, it passes your targetdbid, referencefield, rid, school, category and apptoken to the code page and the code page first adds a child record with its school and category, captures the id of the record and then places you back on that created record in edit mode. The net affect is it feels like you are adding a record but you already have and now you have the record id. ------------------------------ Kyle Richardson ------------------------------

Hello, I am making a button that will go on a form that will save the data then bring up the print menu. The issue I am running into is that if I add a button that simply says print this record it doesn't work because it is a form and hasn't been saved into a record yet. So I need a button that will save then print. The next thing I tried was to save by redirecting then trying to print but I cannot get that to work because the URL code calls the active RID which is gone once the page has redirected. I am not completely confident in my button/url coding abilities so I could be fundamentally wrong about what is going on but I would appreciate any help to point me in the right direction. My code for a formula URL that tries to just print the form: URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=printr&dfid=11&rid=" & [Record ID#] //I don't think the RID exists until the form is saved Then my code to redirect the user to save the form to a record: //formatting visuals of button var text bgcolor = "#34A853"; var text txtcolor = "white"; var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 20px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-align: center; text-shadow: none;"; //Inner workings of button var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_Project] & "?a=printr&dfid=11&rid=" &[Record ID#] & "&apptoken=uwi4fb9cj4szcdzjnfxd5xz3te" & "&rdr=" & URLEncode("https://divisionsinc.quickbase.com/db/brjciz2i6?a=td"); "<a " & $style & " href=\"" & $url & "\">Save and Print</a>" I couldn't get either of these to work so any help is appreciated.

I am looking to create a Pop-Up that requests a confirmation before an action is taken. I created a button that toggles a box to initiate a notification send out to our Candidates (code below). This works great. var number newToggleValue = If([test_box]=true,0,1); var text urlOne = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_28=" & $newToggleValue & "&apptoken=XXXXXXX"; var text urlTwo = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]; $urlOne & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTWO) _____________________________ But I would like to have the button request confirmation that the user wanted to press the button. So we don't send out emails accidentally. Something like: If button is pressed, display "Are you sure you want to send notification?" with options "Send" and "Cancel". If Send, $urlOne & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTWO) If Cancel, do nothing and close popup. All resources I have found on this discuss using Javascript in a URL Formula Field back in 2019, and I know QuickBase does not take Javascript atm, whether it did in the past I do not know. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this now? ------------------------------ Devin Jackson Director of Operations MedMatch ------------------------------Get Next Record ID API for a table and display on a Code Page
