Adding an hyperlink or a button in a form

[chrisdmontgomery]

What would the syntax be for adding a button to the form?

If you are using Forms Designer 2.x, please, follow instructions from posts 1 2 3

We added link and button controls to Forms Designer v. 2.7.3. Now you can put links and buttons by dragging them anywhere in the form.

Hi was wondering if I can add a variable (i.e. field value) on the end of the href. or add in a filed value directly.


Example


var v = fd.field('PhoneNumber').control().value();

$('.dialer').prepend('<a href="https://PhoneSystem/webdialer/Webdialer?destination=' + <var v> ">Dial</a>');


or

$('.dialer').prepend('<a href="https://PhoneSystem/webdialer/Webdialer?destination= + fd.field('Phonenumber').control().value(); ">Dial</a>');

Hi Greg,

Your second option looks well, you only need to adjust its syntax:

Code: Select all

$('.dialer').prepend('<a href="https://PhoneSystem/webdialer/Webdialer?destination=' +
    fd.field('Phonenumber').value() + '">Dial</a>');

Hi Dmitry thanks this looks great. I now get 'undefined' as a value even though there is a numeric valueinthe field. Looks liek it is not picking up a value.

All the best,
Greg

Ensure that you use correct internal name of the field in your code.

There was a typo in internal name. The control had to be changed slightly as well. This works

$('.dphone').prepend('<a href="https://10.7.16.10/webdialer/Webdialer?destination=' +
fd.field('Direct_x0020_Phone').control()._el().text() + '">Call</a>');

How do you change the location of the hyperlink in reference to the field itself. {Call} appears above the field and I would like to see it to the right of the field. Thanks Murray

Alternatively can this functionality be added to a 'Button' On-Click function? USing the 'Button' drag and drop from left hand menu?


Thanks,
Greg
