Get paramter sysparm_query from URL using jelly

[sergej11221]

I want to get the sysparm_query value from this url: nav_to.do?uri=/ui_page.do%3Fsys_id%3D222a312fdbb9220065dfd001cf96191e%26sysparm_query%3Dstate%253D1

by using jelly. I used:

<j:set var="jvar_query" value="${sysparm_query}" />

and

<j:set var="jvar_query" value="${RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_query')}" />

In both cases I can't get the value.

Hi Chuck,

if i trigger the ui page from the header list - > the URL is following: ui_page.do?sys_id=222a312fdbb9220065dfd001cf96191e&sysparm_query=state%3D1.

I have access to the sys_id but sysparm_query stays always empty.

My Context Menu:

runContextAction();

function runContextAction() {

    var url = new GlideURL('ui_page.do?sys_id=222a312fdbb9220065dfd001cf96191e');

    url.addParam('sysparm_query', g_list.getQuery({orderby: true, fixed: true}));

    window.location = url.getURL();

}

This is working: I get the sys_id -> 222a312fdbb9220065dfd001cf96191e

<g:evaluate var="jvar_query" jelly="true" expression="RP.getParameterValue('sys_id')"/>

      <h1>${jvar_query}</h1>

Does not work: jvar_query stays empty:

<g:evaluate var="jvar_query" jelly="true" expression="RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_query')"/>

      <h1>${jvar_query}</h1>

Debug >>> JVAR: jvar_query=

I have created this client script to retrieve the sysparm_query value

function getSysparmQuery(variable) {

  var query = window.location.search.substring(1);

  var vars = query.split("&");

  for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {

  var pair = vars[i].split("=");

  if (pair[0] == variable) {

  return decodeURIComponent(pair[1]);

  }

  }

}

How can I pass from the client script the variable to jelly?

This does not work:

<g:evaluate var="jvar_query" jelly="true" expression="getSysparmQuery('sysparm_query')"/>

Thank you for the information/update.

If you can get the sys_id, that suggests that the GlideURL line is working, and since you cannot get at the sysparm_query, that suggests that your url.addParam() is not working. I would look at constructing your URL another way. Have you tried it using a literal string?

e.g. window.location = 'ui_page.do?sys_id=sysparm_query=222a312fdbb9220065dfd001cf96191e&state%3D1';

From your UI context menu?

Thanks you for your suggestion but it does not work. I think I have the same problem with iFrame as mentioned in this disscussion: How to pass javascript variables into jelly tags?  

I have build a workaround. I store the sysparm_query in the session and use it for further calculation. But now I have a strange effect that I must call the context menu twice so that the query is stored in the session. Do you have any ideas why?

[sergej11221]

I solved the problem. I call the ui page direct from context menu like this:

runContextAction();

function runContextAction() {

    var url = new GlideURL('my_uipage.do');

    url.addParam('sysparm_query', g_list.getQuery({orderby: true, fixed: true}));

    window.location = url.getURL();

}

Now I can get the sysparm values with ${RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_query')}. Thank you for your help!

Please use:

<g:evaluate var="jvar_query" jelly="true" expression="RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_query')"/>
