Redirect URL in Widget Client Script without hard-coding the instance URL

[Richard S Lars1]

I want to redirect the user in a Service Portal Widget to either:

1. The previous page in the Service Portal

2. Or the category page

after adding a sc item to the cart. I've been able to do it by hard-coding the instance name in the client script, but that means we would need to have 3 separate lines of code (one per dev, test and prod instance)

$window.location.href = "https://[instancename]/sp?id=sc_home"; // Redirect to Category page

How can I write this so that it takes the current instance url instead of hard-coding the url?

I have tried by doing the following but the user doesn't get redirected:

var url = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri')
$window.location.href = url + "/sp?id=sc_home"; // Redirect to Category page

I have also tried to redirect to the previous page but I didn't manage to, therefor directing the user to the Category page instead.

Hi there,

If I do a gs.info, it gives me:

https://dev*****.service-now.com/

Looking at your code, you are adding:

/sp?id=sc_home

So a double slash I guess? Maybe that's already the issue.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark

Apparently gs.getPropery doesn't work in a SP widget but 

'https://' + $window.location.host;

worked as rad suggested in this post

Hello,

I don't think we can use gs.getPropery in client script of a widget.

I have tried the following in the client script of the widget and it seems to work (redirect to the catalog home page)

var hosturl = 'https://' + $window.location.host;
$window.location.href = hosturl + "/sp?id=sc_home"; 
		

Hope this helps!
