UI Page: get the sysId of the calling form in Processing Script

[andy_dufresne]

Hello Gurus,

I have form on which we have a 'send SMS' button, when clicked will bring up a UI page, which has a code something like this ..

<g:ui_form>
<input type="hidden" id="cancelled" name="cancelled" value="false"/>
<input type="hidden" id="incidentSysID" name="incidentSysID" value="${sysparm_sysID}"/>
<table>
 <tr>
<td id="label.location" class="label" nowrap="true" height="23px" type="string" choice="0"><span id="status." class="mandatory label_description" mandatory="true" oclass="mandatory">$[SP]</span><label for="location" onclick="" dir="">Users:</label></td>
<td nowrap="true"><g:ui_reference name="location" id="location" table="sys_user" onchange="user_data()"/></td></tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="First Name" name="first_name" id="first_name" mandatory="true" size="50" /></td></tr>
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="Last Name" name="last_name" id="last_name" mandatory="true" size="50" /></td></tr>
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="Email" name="email" id="email" mandatory="true" size="100"/></td></tr>
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="Business Phone" name="phone" id="phone" mandatory="true" size="40" /></td></tr>
</table> 
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="SMS Text" name="sms_text" id="sms_text" mandatory="true" size="50" /></td></tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
 <tr><td align="left" nowrap="true"><br /><g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return validateForm()" ok_type="submit" cancel="return onCancel();"/></td></tr>
</table>
</g:ui_form>

I want to do a gs.addInfoMessage() on the sys_id of the calling form [aka the form where the 'send sms' button was there].   how do i get it in the   Processing script?

There is more functionality I can implement once I get the sys_id.

Any help?

Thanks in Advance

I did that and it was blank, Ankur.   Here is the raw text of all my script, I have to remove one line where it actually sends SMS but I seriously doubt if that is blocking it.

Ok starting with the 'UI action', this is the code for 'send sms':

function smsDialog() {
//var sysId = typeof rowSysId == 'undefined' ? gel('sys_uniqueValue').value : rowSysId;
var gDialog = new GlideDialogWindow("Send_sms"); ////Render the dialog containing the UI Page
gDialog.setTitle("Send SMS");
gDialog.setPreference("incidentSysID", g_form.getUniqueValue());
//gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_sysID', sysId);
//gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_table', "incident_alert");
gDialog.render();
}

This is the code in the html section:

<g:ui_form>
<input type="hidden" id="cancelled" name="cancelled" value="false"/>
<input type="hidden" id="incidentSysID" name="incidentSysID" value="${sysparm_sysID}"/>
<g:evaluate var="jvar_incidentSysId" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('incidentSysId')" />
 <input type="hidden" id="incidentSysID" value="${jvar_incidentSysId}" />
<table>
 <tr>
<td id="label.location" class="label" nowrap="true" height="23px" type="string" choice="0"><span id="status." class="mandatory label_description" mandatory="true" oclass="mandatory">$[SP]</span><label for="location" onclick="" dir="">Users:</label></td>
<td nowrap="true"><g:ui_reference name="location" id="location" table="sys_user" onchange="user_data()"/></td></tr>
</table>

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="First Name" name="first_name" id="first_name" mandatory="true" size="50" /></td></tr>
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="Last Name" name="last_name" id="last_name" mandatory="true" size="50" /></td></tr>
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="Email" name="email" id="email" mandatory="true" size="100"/></td></tr>
 <tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="Business Phone" name="phone" id="phone" mandatory="true" size="40" /></td></tr>
</table> 

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td nowrap="true"><g:ui_input_field label="SMS Text" name="sms_text" id="sms_text" mandatory="true" size="50" /></td></tr>
</table>


<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
 <tr><td align="left" nowrap="true"><br /><g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return validateForm()" ok_type="submit" cancel="return onCancel();"/></td></tr>
</table>
</g:ui_form>

This is the code in the 'Client Script' section:

function onCancel() {
var c = gel('cancelled');
c.value = "true";
GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();
return false;
}
// This function is called once user is selected on the UI Page 
function user_data() {
var userui = $('location').value;
//alert(userui);
var rec = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
rec.addQuery('sys_id',userui);
rec.query(dataReturned);

function dataReturned() {
// Auto Populate the Values ( first name , last name , email and Business Phone)
if(rec.next()){

$('first_name').value=rec.first_name;
$('last_name').value=rec.last_name;
$('email').value=rec.email;
$('phone').value=rec.phone;

}
}

}

This is the code in the Processing Script:

if(incidentSysID != ''){
gs.addInfoMessage('Sys id is:'+incidentSysID);
 }

Here are the changes. I have tested and it is working

UI action:

function smsDialog() {
var sysId = typeof rowSysId == 'undefined' ? gel('sys_uniqueValue').value : rowSysId;
//var sysId = typeof rowSysId == 'undefined' ? gel('sys_uniqueValue').value : rowSysId; 
var gDialog = new GlideDialogWindow("Send_sms"); ////Render the dialog containing the UI Page 
gDialog.setTitle("Send SMS"); 
//gDialog.setPreference("incidentSysID", g_form.getUniqueValue()); 
gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_sysID', sysId); 
//gDialog.setPreference('sysparm_table', "incident_alert"); 
gDialog.render(); 
} 

UI page:

<g:ui_form> 
<input type="hidden" id="cancelled" name="cancelled" value="false"/> 
<input type="hidden" id="incidentSysID" name="incidentSysID" value="${sysparm_sysID}"/> 
<!--<g:evaluate var="jvar_incidentSysId" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('incidentSysId')" />--> 
<!--<input type="hidden" id="incidentSysID" value="${jvar_incidentSysId}" />   -->
<input type="hidden" id="incidentSysID" name="incidentSysID" value="${sysparm_sysID}"/>

Ankur, Abhinay and Gaetano: Thanks immensely for taking time to solve my issue.   I REALLY appreciate your help. I'm glad I belong to this forum! Have a lovely day, folks! Thanks again!

[Abhinay Erra]

can you paste the scripts here rather than screenshots, that will be easier for me edit the code.

[Abhinay Erra]

You bet!
