Hello @Elton2,
I'm doing well, thank you! How about you?
I have some good news—I was able to accomplish your requirement! However, to achieve this, we'll need to clone an OOTB widget called "Sub Topic".
Typically, parent and child topic cards are designed to navigate only between taxonomy pages. I have tested the backend code, and you can confirm with your client before proceeding with this approach. This change will not impact other functionality and will apply only to the "Sub Topic" widget.
After cloning, apply the following changes to the Server Script. I have added appropriate comments where I have made the changes.
(function() {
data.subTopics = [];
data.offset = 0;
data.limit = 0;
data.showMore = false;
data.lastTopic = true;
data.showMoreData = gs.getMessage("View all");
data.isMobileApp = $sp.getParameter('view') === 'mobile';
var fetchedSubTopics = [];
data.topicId = (input && input.topic_id) || options.topic_id || $sp.getParameter("topic_id");
data.subTopicHeader = gs.getMessage("{0} topics", getTopicName(data.topicId));
var urlEnabled = gs.getProperty("sn_ex_sp.enable.image.url.support");
function getTopicName(topicId) {
try {
var topicJs = new sn_taxonomy.Topic(topicId);
return topicJs.getName();
} catch (ex) {
gs.error(gs.getMessage("Invalid Topic Id."));
}
}
// Initial topic fetch on the basis of topic adjustments
if (input && input.action === "getInitSubTopics") {
var fetchLimit = input.topicLimit + 2;
try {
fetchedSubTopics = fetchSubTopics(input.topicId, 0, fetchLimit);
if (fetchedSubTopics.length > input.topicLimit) {
data.lastTopic = false;
}
data.subTopics = fetchedSubTopics;
} catch (ex) {
gs.addInfoMessage(gs.getMessage("You are either not authorized or record is not valid."));
}
}
// on click of view all fetching all topics
if (input && input.action === "viewAll") {
data.showMore = false;
data.subTopics = input.subTopics;
if (!input.lastTopic) {
fetchedSubTopics = fetchSubTopics(input.topicId, input.offset, 0);
data.subTopics = data.subTopics.concat(fetchedSubTopics);
}
}
//code update 1:
//created this new function to get the catalog item id
//It will return catalog id if the child topic has no further child topics and conected content has only one record and it has to be a catalog item
function getCatalogItem(topicId) {
var list = new GlideRecord("topic");
list.addQuery('parent_topic', topicId);
list.query();
if (!list.hasNext()) {
var content = new GlideRecord("m2m_connected_content");
content.addQuery('topic', topicId);
content.query();
while (content.next())
if (content.getRowCount() == 1 && content.content_type.name == 'Catalog Item') {
return content.catalog_item;
}
}
}
function fetchSubTopics(topicId, startWindow, endWindow) {
try {
var topicJs = new sn_taxonomy.Topic(topicId);
var childTopics = topicJs.getChildTopics(true, data.isMobileApp, endWindow, startWindow);
var topics = childTopics.topics;
var topicUtil = new sn_ex_sp.TopicPageUtil();
for (var i = 0; i < topics.length; i++) {
if (options.show_topic_icon === 'true') {
var icon;
if(urlEnabled && urlEnabled==="true")
icon = topicUtil.getIcon(topics[i].sys_id);
else
icon = sn_taxonomy.Topic.getIcon(topics[i].sys_id);
if (icon && icon.trim()) {
topics[i].icon = icon;
} else {
topics[i].icon = topicUtil.fetchDefaultIconImage();
}
}
//code update 2:
var catItemId=getCatalogItem(topics[i].sys_id);// stores the catalog id return by the func newly created.
// code update 3:
// we'll check if there is any id recieved
// if yes then we will add the link of catalog form to the child topic
// else it will work normally, it will redirect to a topic page
if(catItemId){
topics[i].link ='?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id='+catItemId;
}else{
var pageToRedirect = topics[i].template && topics[i].template.length > 0 ? topics[i].template : 'emp_taxonomy_topic';
topics[i].link = '?id='+ pageToRedirect +'&topic_id=' + topics[i].sys_id;
}
if (data.isMobileApp) {
topics[i].link = topics[i].link + '&view=mobile';
}
}
data.limit = childTopics.limit;
data.offset = childTopics.offset;
return topics;
} catch (ex) {
gs.error(gs.getMessage("Invalid Topic Id."));
}
}
})();
Now add the widget to the taxonomy page.
Output from my PDI.
I hope this helps resolve your issue!
