Call URL from ui macro

eashwar · ‎02-22-2017

Folks,

I am trying to generate a simple URL in UI macro and call. its failing sysparam needs a demiliter.

code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<j:set var="jvar_n" value="add_me_${ref}"/>

</span>

<script>

function addMe() {

var url = "https://"+window.location.hostname.toString()+"/kb_knowledge.do?sys_id=-1&sysparam_query=short_descriptionLIKEMAJOR";

window.open(url, "_blank");

return false;

}

</script>

</j:jelly>

How to call a url with param value ?

Thank you,

Eashwar Elumalai

Sorry the way I was doing it (i.e. based on the ui macro) required the form to be saved before it would work. LIkely what was the issue. This version does not:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<j:set var="jvar_n" value="add_me_${ref}"/>

</span>

function addMe(reference)

{

window.open('$knowledge.do#/search?query=' + encodeURI(g_form.getValue('short_description')) + '$[AMP]order=default');

}

</script>

</j:jelly>

Try this...I didn't notice the current references (it is not in scope in the ui macro, so I had to query the record). I also replaced document.location with window.open as I figured we didn't want to overwrite the page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<j:set var="jvar_n" value="add_me_${ref}"/>

</span>

<g:evaluate var="jvar_url" jelly="true" object="true" >

var url = '';

var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');

if (inc.get(jelly.sys_id)) {

if (inc.short_description != "") {

url = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri') + "kb_find.do?sysparm_search=" + encodeURI(inc.short_description) + "$[AMP]sysparm_operator=IR_OR_QUERY$[AMP]sysparm_order=relevancy$[AMP]sysparm_stack=no$[AMP]sysparm_query=sys_id!=" + inc.sys_id;

} else {

url = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri') + '$knowledge.do#/search?query=' + encodeURI(inc.short_description) + '$[AMP]order=default';

}

url + '';

</g:evaluate>

function addMe(reference)

{

window.open("${jvar_url}");

}

</script>

</j:jelly>

BTW, my example was from the incident form...you probably want to replace GlideRecord('incident') with GlideRecord('kb_knowledge') for your purposes.

Or actually kb_submission based on your screenshot.

Thank you Joe

I modified the script to pull it from kb_submisson but on click its opening a blank page and stuck there .

Joe McCarty1 · ‎02-22-2017

Is there any reason you don't use the dictionary attribute knowledge_search=true? Give me a moment and I'll move my ui macro to the kb_submission table, but if you add that attribute to the short_description field, I think it provides much the same functionality.
