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>

i tried doing that but it not give me the result which business was requiring. So build this in UI action and it worked fine and now business wants it as a icon functionality.

This was working on my instance on the kb_submission form. I commented out the one version of knowledge search. Depending on whether you are on v2 or v3 you may want to switch.

<?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 = '';

gs.info('JDM - ' + jelly.sys_id);

var inc = new GlideRecord('kb_submission');

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>

Do you know which UI macro "knowledge_search=true" is referring to ?

I am unable to find it

eashwar · ‎02-22-2017

what attribute value are you specifying. its opening up a blank page for me

eashwar · ‎02-22-2017

can you send me the screen shot of attribute value and ui macro ?
