hi,
we wrote a java script to retrieve the current user details(i.e. who ever makes changes in crm portal) and it is working when the script is placed in custom java script in entity form but when we tried to call from tracking code using webfiles the user id is not getting retrieved. could you please help??

Hello Jaithun
by using liquid code add User ID to a hidden field and use hidden field value in your script (because liquid variables data you cant consume directly in scripts).
Thanks
James
Hello,
You are using Liquid to retrieve the current user. Liquid is a server-side language that has to be processed by the server before being sent to the browser. Only certain fields support Liquid - web page copy and summary, custom javascript, etc, but unfortunately web files do not. So any Liquid contained in a web file will not be evaluated.

Hi Oliver,
Yes, we are trying to access the webfile using content snippet (i.e. using tracking code). This script is used in many entity forms , so to reduce the redundancy we tried to call the javascript using webfile.
Please find below script for more information.
$(document).ready(function () {
var clonedSubBtn = "<input type='button' id='InsertButton_Cloned' value='Save' class='btn btn-primary button submit-btn'>";
var userId = '{{user.id}}';
$("#UpdateButton").parent().append(clonedSubBtn);
$("#UpdateButton").hide();
$("#prc_lastmodifiedbyurl").hide();
$("#prc_lastmodifiedbyurl_label").hide();
$('#prc_lastmodifiedbyurl').parents('div[class^="input-group"]').children('div[class^="input-group-btn"]').hide();
$('#prc_lastmodifiedbyurl_label').parents('div[class^="info"]').hide();
$('#InsertButton_Cloned').on('click', function (event) {
var userId = '{{user.id}}';
var username = '{{user.fullname}}';
if (userId != null && username != null) {
var CRMURL = (window.location.href).split(".");
var URL = CRMURL[0] + ".crm.dynamics.com/main.aspx?etc=2&id=" + userId + "&newWindow=true&pagetype=entityrecord";
$("#prc_lastmodifiedbyurl").attr("value", URL);
$("#UpdateButton").trigger('click');
return false;
}
else {
return false;
}
});
});
can you give more details on what you trying to achieve ?
"when we tried to call from tracking code using webfiles".. I didn't understand this part.. tracking code is actually a content snippet.. is the user id being retrieve from that JS ?
can you share your code ?
