Hide UI Macro icon using onLoad Client script.

ar1 · ‎01-12-2023

Hi All,

We created one UI Macro to display the approver's delegates and it's working fine.
But now we want to hide the UI Macro if the approver don't have the delegates.

We gone through the old threads and tried few possibilities to hide the macro, But no luck.

Can anyone please help us hide the Marco using onLoad client script.

Ui Macro Script:
Name: delegates_approver

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g:evaluate var="jvar_guid" expression="gs.generateGUID(this);" />
<j:set var="jvar_n" value="show_incidents_${jvar_guid}:${ref}"/>

<g:reference_decoration id="${jvar_n}" field="${ref}"
onclick="showRelatedList('${ref}'); "
title="${gs.getMessage('Show delegates')}" class="btn btn-ref btn-default hide_hosted_asset_flag" image="images/icons/tasks.gifx" icon="icon-tree-right"/>

<script>
function showRelatedList(reference) {
var w = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
w.setTitle('Delegate Users');
w.setPreference('table', 'sys_user_delegate_list');
w.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'default');
//Set the query for the list
var approver = g_form.getValue('approver');

var usr = 'user=' + approver + '^approvals=true' + '^delegate.active=true';

w.setPreference('sysparm_query', usr);
w.render();
}
</script>
</j:jelly>

@ar1 the code worked perfectly fine for me pasting it again:

client:

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

alert('one');

//var usr = g_form.getReference('approver');

var gr = new GlideAjax('approverDelegationsCheck');
gr.addParam('sysparm_name','getDelegates');
gr.addParam('sysparm_usr',g_form.getValue('approver'));
gr.getXML(callbackfunction);
} // this bracket is the onload function bracket, it should close here , check your code.
function callbackfunction(response)
{
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert(answer);
if(answer==0){
alert('inside loop');

gel("test").style.display="none"; //make sure isolate script of your client script is false

}

SI:

var approverDelegationsCheck = Class.create();
approverDelegationsCheck.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getDelegates: function()
{
gs.log("raghav111");
var usr = this.getParameter('sysparm_usr');
var app = new GlideRecord('sys_user_delegate');
app.addQuery('user',usr);
app.addQuery('approvals',true);
app.query();
return app.getRowCount();
// while(app.next())
// {
// var delUsr = app.getValue('delegate');
// //var delUsr = app.getRowCount();
// return delUsr;
// }
},

type: 'approverDelegationsCheck'
});

I think you should paste the screenshots of codes. Also I have put logs, check if you are getting this log or any error when you load the approval page.

what are you getting in alert answer? is your client script isolate false? It is working for me.

@ar1

In your code, the callbackfunction has "f" at one place and "F" at another. Also there were some more issues, I have corrected then, have you copied my code.

client:

var gr = new GlideAjax('ApproverDelegationsCheck');
gr.addParam('sysparm_name','getDelegates');
gr.addParam('sysparm_usr',g_form.getValue('approver'));
gr.getXML(callbackfunction);
} // this bracket is the onload function bracket, it should close here , check your code.
function callbackfunction(response)
{
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert(answer);
if(answer==0){
alert('inside loop');

gel("test").style.display="none"; //make sure isolate script of your client script is false

}
