Hello experts,

I have a custom button over ribbon bar for status management of user. I could change the status of user by clicking over it however could not change the label of button.

I want to change the label from offline or available based on the status of use. I tried to set the control with PrimaryControl,SelectedControl,etc to function parameter in javascript, but control parameter shows undefined while calling the function on click.Also i could not get the element by its id in function ($('#crmRibbonManager ul li').each()) to get the control but nothing worked. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Drashti Mehta

Hello Drashti, make modifications directly in the HTML is not supported, please refer to:

docs.microsoft.com/.../supported-extensions

To modify the ribbon, you should modify the customizations.xml file of a solution .zip as mentioned here docs.microsoft.com/.../export-prepare-edit-import-ribbon or use a third party application such as ribbon workbench. ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../71374-1-getting-started-with-the-ribbon-workbench

Hi Drashti

With the help of ribbon workbench you can duplicate the button then change names as you want and then apply rules to show hide based on your requirement.

That's supported customisation. Download it here: www.develop1.net/.../ribbonworkbench.aspx

Learn about it more here: ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../71374-1-getting-started-with-the-ribbon-workbench

Hi Drashti,

Try to get the button and change its label by following code.

parent.document.getElementById("cr251.ApplicationRibbon.customButton.button1").children[0].children[0].children[1].innerText = 'Button 1100';

You can get the parent li element's ID as entrance.

The label has been changed to "button 1100".

Regards,

Clofly

Thanks Clofy, this worked like a charm but a small question can we call the same function on logging into CRM?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Drashti,

-> can we call the same function on logging into CRM?

Would it mean that the function could be executed on home page?

If so, you could take following method as reference:

1. Create a HTML web resource on homepage(actually dashboard, mine default is Sales Activity Dashboard)

and embbed a script on the page with timer, it could be regarded as a script web resource at form onLoad event.(because we couldn't run script directly on dashboard)

Page Title

2. Hide the page.

3. Publish customization

result

-> a way to set enable disable rule on success of XMLHttpRequest

As far as I know, we could only apply display rule in ribbon workbench, I don't know whether there was javascript API to hide ribbon button directly.

(But my thought is that there was no such API, we could only hide it with javascript getElement directly)

Regards,

Clofly
