system ui messages with dynamic variable

kdevireddy · ‎02-20-2017

Hi

I am trying to create a new system ui message with dynamic argument which needs to be translated

Here I am sharing how it's configured

alert(getMessage('Additional company'+i+'details' must be entered'));

and have created entry in ui messages table - with key 'Additional company'+i+'details' must be entered' in English and French values. But alert is not getting values from message table.

Please help.

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi,

Here is how dynamic variables can be passed to messages

Single Parameter passing, Message sample "Incident {0} is created"

var msg = gs.getMessage('Incident {0} is created', current.number); // This is how you replace variable

Multiple parameter passing, Message sample "Incident {0} is updated to State: {1}"

var arr = [];

arr.push(current.number);

arr.push(current.state);

var msg = gs.getMessage('Incident {0} is updated to State: {1}', arr);

In your case. The message should be, "Additional company {0} details must be entered" and you should replace this in your code

gs.getMessage('Additional company {0} details must be entered', i );

Can you add a space in your message next to {0}

Additional company {0}

Thanks

Dynamic variable assignment wont work for messages on client side scripts. It is only available to server side scripts (gs.getMessage)

I checked the documentation for getMessage. Since you are using this on a client side script it wont accept a second paramater. It will only work on server side scripts

getMessage(String) on client side uses only one parameter vs gs.getMessage(String, Object) that can use a second parameter.

but I can see few OOB client scripts with gs.getMessage(String, Object).
