Ribbon Workbench Assign JavaScript Function

Posted on by Community Member

Hello, as the title states I am trying to assign a javascript function to a custom ribbon button. I can create and assign it without issue but the actual button does not do anything when clicked. I have tried to use the lookup for the library as well as typing the name with no luck so far.

Do you have any thoughts on that?

Thanks for you time.

This sample should give you a clue on how to implement your JavaScript on a button:

Hello Andreas and thank you for your response.

I can open urls and pages without much troubles.

The problem starts when I want to call a function upon the click. Even a pure javascript function (eg an alert) does not get executed.

The blog explains how to call dialogs.

Share the code of your library you use (simplified to at most few lines, of course) and the screenshot how are you binding the function to the button.

In the blog is shown how to call dialogs, but you can use your JavaScript instead.

The important thing is to correctly setup the button commands which is explained in this blog as well as on which level (form , grid, or homepage) Can you try to compare and adapt from the blog to make your thing work?

function OpenIndex();
{
alert("test button");
}

I am trying to call a very simple function just to test it. The first function I have tried had an Ajax request and I thought it was the problem, but this does not work even when calling an alert.

Andreas I have tried to follow it but when I add enable rules or display rules they all differ from the version in the blog and the one that I am using currently

Here is another guide:

In your screenshot we cannot see your complete solution elements structure. Also it would be interesting to see your button configuration.

If your function really looks like that:

function OpenIndex(); { alert("test button"); }

then the problem is with the ";" after function name (OpenIndex();)
