Custom ribbon enable rules aren't getting called

Posted on by iyke

I am trying to show or hide a ribbon button using the following code:

jafgha.Activities.showButton = function (context)
{
console.log("testing validity**********");
const value = context.getAttribute("slakpistatus").getValue();
console.log(value);
return value === "2";
}

This does not work as the button is always displayed. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

getValue for optionset will return int so value === "2" will always return false. Try to use following:

jafgha.Activities.showButton = function (context) { console.log("testing validity**********"); const value = context.getAttribute("slakpistatus").getValue(); console.log(value); return value === 2; }

Hi,

Try to use ENABLE RULES and remove drop down value for both Default and invertResult:

And change your code to below:

jafgha.Activities.showButton = function(context) { console.log("testing validity**********"); const value = context.getAttribute("slakpistatus").getValue(); console.log(value); if (value == 2) { return true; } else { return false; } }

slakpistatus is not an option set, it is a text field. And if you notice, I said the button is always displayed. If that expression always returns false, then the button should never be displayed. I think the problem is that the showButton function is never called, and I don't know why. I say that because the logs in this function do not appear in the console.

If you didn't apply the rule(the function) to the button, then your function won't execute.

Here's the entire file:

if (typeof jafgha === 'undefined') { jafgha = {}; } if (!jafgha.Activities) jafgha.Activities = {}; jafgha.Activities.showButton = function (context) { console.log("testing validity**********"); const value = context.getAttribute("slakpistatus").getValue(); console.log(value); return value === "2"; }
