Set the instance name dynamically in the UI Page script

[shahid1]

Hi All,

I have designed a small UI Page and the script in it contains a link , clicking on it will take the user to a specific page.

I have hard coded the URL in the script within the HREF tag. But i want this link to be dynamic.

For example:- If this link is clicked in the test instance then the expected page which should open should be of test instance and so on for other instances respectively.

Any help here?

Thanks,

Shahid

Hi Shahid,

Is your link script present in client side or server side. If on server side then you can following

var url = gs.getProperty('instance_name') + '.service-now.com';

If you want your dynamic url in client side then you will have to use g:evaluate tag to set this variable and get it using jelly tag as below

Hi Ankur,

My script looks like as below:-

___

<?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:ui_form>

<p><b><font size ="4">To view the list, please click <a href="https://" +gs.getProperty('instance_name')+ ".service-now.com/u_c_party_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_class_name%3Du_c_party%5Esys_created_onONYesterday%40javascript%3Ags.daysAgoStart(1)%40javascript%3Ags.daysAgoEnd(1)%5Eu_nameISEMPTY"   target="_blank"><font color="blue">   here.</font></a></font></b>  

</p>

</g:ui_form>

</j:jelly>

______

In the href tag i am fetching the system property and concatenating it with the rest of the URL.

instance_name system property stores the name of the current URL in all the instances.

Can you let me know how can i use the system property in the UI Page script thus making the link dynamic to respective instances?

Thanks,

Shahid

Hi Shahid,

Following is the updated code

<g:evaluate var="jvar_urlLink" jelly="true">

var url = gs.getProperty('instance_name') + '.service-now.com/u_c_party_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_class_name%3Du_c_party%5Esys_created_onONYesterday%40javascript%3Ags.daysAgoStart(1)%40javascript%3Ags.daysAgoEnd(1)%5Eu_nameISEMPTY' ;

url;

</g:evaluate>

<p><b><font size ="4">To view the list, please click <a href="${jvar_urlLink}">Link

</a></font></b>

</p>

The dynamic url will be stored in the variable "jvar_urlLink" and it will fetch the url based on the instance
