Ribbon Workbench - Button does nothing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by maurice.renz 190

Hello everyone,

I am playing around with the Ribbon Workbench for CRM on-premise  2016. I want to create a butto, which opens a new tab in the browser with google and a search function related to the currently opened company in our account entity.

I created a button in the Ribbon Workbench and I also set a picture. I managed to display my button in the account ribbon bar, but when I click the button nothing happens. Even though I assigned my source code to the button.

My source code to open the google window with the company is:

___

function google() {

var Firmenname = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue();
window.open("http://www.google.de/search?q="+Firmenname );
}
this.google=google;

___

I'm not very introduced into coding in general and especially javascript.

Maybe someone could help me to get it working. I've read some howTo's about the Ribbon Workbench but none of them were detailed enough to solve my problem.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards

Maurice Renz

    The xml looks fine - the most common reason for javascript not being called is if there is a syntax error in the webresource.

    Thank you for the tip! I could have seen that...

    I adjusted that and published the solution again but the button still does not react... I also tried a private window to avoid problems with cookies etc.

    Thanks for the xml - in your javascript above, the function name is 'google' but the command is referencing a function "Googleoeffnen"
