JavaScript with Current Date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I am trying to enter data into a current field based on the selection of other fields. It was all working until I tried to enter in today's date. Now it is filling in the field before checking the conditions and for the date it says undefined. I get "Multifam_69_undefined.undefined.undefined_250_BRE_3" using the javascript below. All is correct other than where it should be the date and says undefined. Do you know where I am going wrong?

function PrintName()
{
var Vendor = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printvendor").getValue();
var BRE = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_bre").getText();
var Invoice = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_invoicetemplate").getText();
var Batch = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printbatch").getValue();
var Pages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfileofpages").getValue();
var Name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").getValue();
if (BRE != null && Invoice != null && Batch != null && Pages != null && Name == null) {
var d = Date.now();
var PrintMonth = d.getMonth();
var PrintDay = d.getDay();
var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();
}
if (Vendor == 100000001) {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + BRE + "_" + Batch);
}
if (Vendor == 100000000) {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "BillOnly" + Invoice + "_" + Batch + "_" + Pages);
}
if (BRE == 100000000 && Vendor == 100000000) {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Invoice + "_" + Batch + "_" + Pages);
}
}

    RE: JavaScript with Current Date

    Hi,

    This should work , there was two changes you need to do from client side one is you need to add 1 for month and for day you need to use getDate().

    Hope this helps. Please find below updated code- 

            function PrintName() {
            var Vendor = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printvendor").getValue();
            var BRE = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_bre").getValue();
            var Invoice = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_invoicetemplate").getText();
            var Batch = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printbatch").getValue();
            var Pages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfileofpages").getValue();
            var Name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").getValue();
            if (Vendor != null && BRE != null && Invoice != null && Batch != null && Pages != null && Name == null) {
                var d = new Date();
                //Commented Code
                //var PrintMonth = d.getMonth();
                //var PrintDay = d.getDay();
                //var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();
                //New Code
                var PrintYear = d.getFullYear() ;
                var PrintMonth = (d.getMonth() + 1);
                var PrintDay = d.getDate();
                if (Vendor == 100000001 && BRE == 100000001) {
                    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue("Multifam" + "_" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + "No_BRE" + "_" + "Batch" + Batch);

                }
                if (Vendor == 100000001 && BRE == 100000000) {
                    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue("Multifam" + "_" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + "BRE" + "_" + "Batch" + Batch);

                }

                if (Vendor == 100000000 && BRE == 100000001) {
                    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue("Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "BillOnly" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + "Batch" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

                }
                if (Vendor == 100000000 && BRE == 100000000) {
                    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue("Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + "Batch" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

                }
            }

        }

    RE: JavaScript with Current Date

    Hello Goutam,

    Thank you, I found a different way to enter it and now it is producing the correct date. I changed it to:

    var d = new Date();

    var PrintMonth = (d.getMonth()+1)+"";

    var PrintDay = d.getDate();

    var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();

    Hi Goutam,

    Ah thank you, that's probably the problem. It must be pulling the seconds instead of month and day.

    Do you have a suggestion what to enter instead? I want it to produce today's date when the JS is ran and meets the criteria. So if it met the criteria today then it would produce 3.28.2018 for the portion of the print file name it's setting the value for (i.e. Multifam_Invoice69_2.3.2018_25_No_BRE_Batch2).

    Here is the current JS:

    function PrintName()

    {

    var Vendor = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printvendor").getValue();

    var BRE = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_bre").getValue();

    var Invoice = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_invoicetemplate").getText();

    var Batch = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printbatch").getValue();

    var Pages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfileofpages").getValue();

    var Name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").getValue();

    if (Vendor != null && BRE != null && Invoice != null && Batch != null && Pages != null && Name == null) {

    var d = new Date();

    var PrintMonth = d.getMonth();

    var PrintDay = d.getDay();

    var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();

    if (Vendor == 100000001 && BRE == 100000001) {

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + "No_BRE" + "_" + "Batch" + Batch);

     }

    if (Vendor == 100000001 && BRE == 100000000) {

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + "BRE" + "_" + "Batch" + Batch);

     }

    if (Vendor == 100000000 && BRE == 100000001) {

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "BillOnly" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + "Batch" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

     }

    if (Vendor == 100000000 && BRE == 100000000) {

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "Invoice" + Invoice + "_" + "Batch" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

     }

     }

    }

    Hi ,

    No issue , the Date.now() method returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1.

    Please refer below url -

    Hope this helps you.

    Hi Goutam,

    I'm extremely new and not experienced in writing JS, I have just been using Google to figure out how to write it so I do not know how to get the conversion code from integer. How do I get that for you? I don't have a debugger.

    Hi,

    There should have some conversion issue , please share your code how you are converting integer value to date.

    Yes, attached is a screenshot of the print file name that is produced (I do have it pull the month, day and year from today's date so I can have it entered in a different format.

    Looks a little blurry so I'm not sure if you can read it but it's "2.3.2018"
