Order Guide - Requested for

[sylvain_hauser]

I would like to ask in the first step of an order guide the "requested for" user.

I tried to create the following variable:
- name: requested_for
- type: Reference
- Reference: sys_user
- mandatory
(Cascade Variables is ON)

But when you check out, the "Requested for:" field is still the curent user name...

Any idea?

Thanks!

I was trying to do this very thing, found this post and it was very helpful. Since AJAXEvaluateSynchronously has been replaced with GlideAjax, I updated these scripts to use GlideAjax and thought I'd share them.




Catalog Client Script, attached to order guide, onchange for the requested_for variable:


function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if(oldValue != newValue){

var uid = g_user.userID;
var rf = g_form.getValue('requested_for');
//alert('rf = ' + rf + ' uid = ' + uid);

var ga = new GlideAjax('SetReqFor'); // calls the SetReqFor script include
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','setReqFor'); // launches the setReqFor function from the script include
ga.addParam('sysparm_uid',uid); // passes the uid of the currently logged in user
ga.addParam('sysparm_rf',rf); // passes the requested_for user
ga.getXML(); // we don't actually need any data back from the server for this to work


}
}


Script Include, must be named SetReqFor

var SetReqFor = Class.create();

SetReqFor.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
setReqFor: function() {
var answer = false;
var rfr = new GlideRecord("sc_cart");
rfr.addQuery("name", "DEFAULT");
rfr.addQuery('user',this.getParameter('sysparm_uid')); // will locate any currently open carts with the currently logged in user
rfr.query();
if (rfr.next()) {
rfr.requested_for = this.getParameter('sysparm_rf'); // updates the requested_for on the cart to the value passed by the client script
rfr.update();
answer=true;
}

return answer; // we don't need to do anything with this

}
});

Thank you, your script helped me out!

Frederik, were you able to get this to work with the script "As is" ?

I mean, I've tried it, and can't get my cart updated using the catalog client script and the script include provided above.

If you had to change anything, would you mind sharing please?

Thanks for that, solved our problems too!

BTW Jean-Francois, Zach's scripts (note there are two) worked out of the box for us. I suggest checking you associated the first one (catalogue client script) with the catalog item, I've included a screen shot of what we have used for settings. You'll also need to change the reference to the field, eg the field we wanted to use was called 'u_b_name' so the relevant line Zach's code was changed to: var rf = g_form.getValue('u_b_name');

The second one, which is under Script Includes, has to be called 'SetReqFor'.
