I have written some javascript and attached it onto the onSave event of an entity to perform some actions when a record is deactivated. This works fine when on the form but if a user decides to deactivate the record from the entity view then this code does not get fired. Is there a way that I can attach this event to deactivating from here?
Thanks
You'll have to create plugin if you want to perform some action that doesn't take place on the actual form itself, or a button on the ribbon. See this similar question
You can use the a Ribbon Editor to edit the "deactivate" Ribbon Button in the homepage grid to include a javascript function in a webresource. So when it is clicked the button will trigger your javascript code.
the only adjustment you have to make is to accept an input parameter given by the ribbon button.
You just need to make a RibbonButton and set a control so that it will return all the id's of the active grid. In the link you will have the "SelectedControlSelectedItemIds" but you have more options available.
if you alter the XML of the solution. Your function will require a parameter.
function getSelectedItems(arrayOfIDS){
for(var i = 0; i < arrayofIDS.length;i++)
{
//Your implementation here
}
}
Alternatively you can choose to write a plugIn like Daryl suggests
EDIT: Ribbon Workbench: With this tool you can customize system buttons with visual ribbon button you can't.

I need to call custom javascript from custom dialog on the list view.
On list view user click on button (on ribbon). Button starts javascript. Custom javascript create the div dialog with some choices. Every choice has onclick javascript action. But where is my custom javascript code?
In the similar scenario, on form view I can find this cusom javascript as
document.getElementById("customScriptsFrame").contentWindow.<my_func>()
But where is similar location for custom javascript in list view?
If I understand your question,
You already have your html div dialog created in a webresource.
Do you already have Ribbon button in place? and Javascript behind it?
If not this is what you need.
There is an plugin in XRMToolBox called Ribbon Workbench. Use it, and you can add new button on list view.
On that button command you can add Javascript and function which will be called.
Now inside your javascript you can call your html code or you can directly call another webresource as well.
Right question was "where is stored the custom javascript on listview page". And answer is simple: in iframe named "contentIFrame0".
So, right onclick value is "document.getElementById('contentIFrame0').contentWindow.my_func();".
I am trying to create an adhoc code that save me pressing a repetitive button on a webpage, I opened F12 developer and tried using getElementbyID(..).click(); however didn't quite work, this is part extract of the button, I wonder if someone can advise what code I can use to automatically submit the button? Any help will be greatly appreicated. Best regards, Jon
what code I can use to automatically submit the button
If this is for a regular form post without AJAX then you can select the form then use submit().
E.g.
/*
* The variable myform is previously determined such as by `document.forms[0]`
* or a similar DOM selector method
*/
myform.submit();
If this is for a non-form button then use the click() method as suggested in the comments above. However, be aware that for this method there would have to be an Event Listener attached for the button to do anything of value.
I have 2 id 1. show_ocancel_popup and 2. cancel_order_button, first one is for a notification which comes on a click of cancel button and 2nd one is for confirmation button, I am triggering a rule which will fire on either appearance of 1st id or on click of 2nd id. How can I create a custom script to handle this in a single rule?
If clicking on the cancel button always shows the notification popup, then maybe it's okay to assume clicking on the cancel button is effectively the same as viewing the notification for it.
If that's good enough for you, then you can you can setup a single Event Based Rule
Event Type click
Element Tag or Selector
#show_ocancel_popup,#cancel_order_button
If you need to know which button was clicked, you can use this in the various code boxes in the rule (as long as the code box is not flagged to execute globally).
One random example:
If you want to push the button's id to an Adobe Analytics prop, you can use %this.id% in the field:
Or by adding it via the Adobe Analytics custom code box instead:
s.linkTrackVars=s.linkTrackVars||'';
s.linkTrackVars+=',prop8';
s.prop8 = this.id;
How can I force any change to a checkbox (inside a form) or to a drop-down menu selection to cause a HTTP POST to be issued by the browser?
Bandwidth is not an issue, page reloading is not an issue and I don't want to go the full AJAX route.
What I really want is an HTTP POST to be done when the user clicks on a checkbox (or selects something from a drop-down menu), etc. without the user having to click 'Submit' after its change.
Maybe it should be done with some JavaScript on the client-side? (I couldn't succesfully Google anything)
Use Javascript. Add onchange="document.getElementById('myFormId').submit()" to the elements, or do this programatically. myFormId must be replaced by the HTML id of the form element.
You could use the JavaScript onchange event to then call the submit() function on the form.
if you have a form already set up just put a class to the element you want to use as trigger and then
for select
$(".classname").change(function(){
$("#formid").submit();
});
for checkbox/radio
$(".classname").click(function(){
$("#formid").submit();
});
AFIK it can't be done without client-side scripting. The easiest way would be to trigger the submit event for every form change. With jQuery it's done with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("input[type=checkbox],input[type=radio],select").change(
function(evt)){evt.target.form.submit();}
);
});
</script>
If you don't use jQuery, you'll have to write some boilerplate event handling code. See this introduction for more info on JavaScript event handling.
I have ckeditor embedded into one of my pages....but I don't know how to wire up certain buttons in ckeditor to perform specific actions. Most importantly, how do I tell it when the save button is clicked to save the document?
Dave--
The beauty of the save button in CKEditor is that it is setup default to submit the form that it's in. In my company's case, I bolted in CKEditor expecting to have to disable the save button because the larger form already had a save button...but it turns out that it worked right out of the box. Get the system installed, tested, and hit save...see what happens.
You can control the output of buttons in the Config.js file. If a particular button is not to your liking, you can use javascript to define actions or create new buttons there as well. There are fairly good tutorials on this at http://docs.cksource.com/
