I have a plugin that does some validation on a record create and displays a controlled message via the InvalidPluginExecutionException which displays the message to the CRM user. Unfortunately this controlled message is not displayed on the portal front end but a random exception message. Is there a way to display the message correctly on the portal front end
Thanks g

If it isn't running, it sounds like you aren't using an entity form but a web page. The code snippet I provided is for validation of an entity form that is on a web page. To do this on the web page without an entity form it would be:

if (window.jQuery) {
(function ($) {
if (typeof (webFormClientValidate) != 'undefined') {
var originalValidationFunction = webFormClientValidate;
if (originalValidationFunction && typeof (originalValidationFunction) == "function") {
webFormClientValidate = function () {
};
}
}
}(window.jQuery));
Hi James,
I have used the above code however the below part doesn't fires. Is there any settings which we need to do? Please let me know as i am stuck on this. Quick help will be appreciated.
entityFormClientValidate = function ()
{
//DO VALIDATION HERE. RETURN TRUE IF PASSED AND FALSE IF FAIL
};
Is there any other solution of handling the exceptions coming from plugins rather than re-implementing the same business logic in JavaScript? As long as you do not have the option to implement server side code this sounds very cumbersome!!! I would thought that the message of the plugin exception should be surfaced somehow in liquid or some other way that you can choose what to do next.
Hi,
I hope you are familiar with the adx portal code.
Please check if you can put the try and catch block at the SaveChanges portion of code.
The catch block must be returning you the error from plugin.
You can capture this and write a custom javascript and display it to user.
Hope this helped.
Thanks

Hi,
If there is an error/ exception then portal will always displays the generic error occurred. In your case, you are throwing exception with some custom message but to portals it is an exception.
This is by design.
As suggested above, you should look for ways to handle it within portal.
Is the record being created from the portal? If so, why not validate it before you create anything in crm? Doing that will help prevent unclean data from getting into the system. Validating the data before create in the portal can be done easily with JQuery and JavaScript
if (window.jQuery) {
(function ($) {
if (typeof (entityFormClientValidate) != 'undefined') {
var originalValidationFunction = entityFormClientValidate;
if (originalValidationFunction && typeof (originalValidationFunction) == "function") {
entityFormClientValidate = function ()
{
//DO VALIDATION HERE. RETURN TRUE IF PASSED AND FALSE IF FAIL
};
}
}
}(window.jQuery));
}
To output a message to the user on fail here is a code snippet that will work:
$('.notifications').append($("<div class='notification alert alert-danger' role='alert'>PUT ERROR MESSAGE TEXT HERE</div>"));
I do want to note that the first snippet of code will only validate on entity forms (entityFormClientValidate) if you need it to work on web forms then replace entityFormClientValidation with webFormClientValidate
