How to load JavaScript used in JS function called from the Ribbon ?

Hello,

I have a requirement for my company : Hide the "Export to Excel Online" button based on the Security role for the Ribbon : Mscrm.Homepage.Grid.list.MainTab.
I know that I can't manage this directly via the RibbonWorkbench.

So I decided to go for a custom function which return a true or false if the user has the specific role.

So far, no problem.
But in my custom function I use the js library : XrmServiceToolkit.

So when I debug my function, I get a nice : "XrmServiceToolkit is not defined". In a certain way it makes sense, since on this view, I can't force the loading of JS files like we can do on a form.

I found this article : https://rajeevpentyala.com/2012/05/23/loading-dependent-jscript-libraries-in-ribbon-buttons-execution-crm-2011/ but it is the same result for me.

If anyone has a solution.

Thanks a lot,

Clément

Hi,

Make sure function name used for XrmServiceToolkit library is "isNaN" , in proper case,

Also try clearing your browser cache, so that script will be loaded.

As you can see here, it's what I did according to the blog article I posted in the ticket.
But I always receive the "XrmServiceToolkit is undefined" also with a clean browser.

I'm guessing that your script isn't loaded because of the way turbo forms work. It only loads the JavaScript when te function is called. At least for form JavaScript.

Might want to have a look at something like this:

stackoverflow.com/.../how-to-include-a-javascript-file-in-another-javascript-file

Or, the most simple solution, merge the two files. It's not ideal, but it's certain to work.

Hello martijn,

I disabled the new Turbo form rendering so this shouldn't be an issue.

I thought about the dynamic load of the WebResource, but putting in hardcode the path to the file is a bit ugly solution no ? and even with this solution, I get a 500 http error.

Hi Clément

Forgive me if I am oversimplifying it but as a workaround you can always turn off Excel to Excel in the security role configuration.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your input.

Unfortunately, I need the default export to excel (which is available for everyone with a specific role) but i need to manage the availability of the export to excel online for users based on the role.

Hi from 2019,

I recently encountered the same issue, loading nested web resources in the view context.

Solution: In ribbon workbench add javascript actions calling 'isNaN' function for the nested library. The order counts though, these actions should be on top of the initial javascript command.

Cheers

Sam
