Hi,

I need to get the (system) view id of the currently displaying View in javascript,

basically I want to set visibility of different ribbon buttons based on the view user has selected, I'm writing a js and use Ribbon Workbench to set visibility of the custom buttons based on this js and in the js function I need to know which View (user or system) is showing.

am I in a right path?

and can I get that guid?

Hi,

This is unsupported. Think twice before use it.

Javascript reference

remember change the function name.

RE: get displayed view id in javascript

actually this is the way I'm going but I was hopping that there was a supported method

anyway this is the working js, for future reference

var cv = document.querySelectorAll('[currentview]');

if (cv != null && cv[0] != null) {

var currViewId = cv[0].getAttribute("currentview");

var currViewType = cv[0].getAttribute("currentviewtype");

}

seems there is no such supported way you can get the view ID. You can try with accessing DOM. Although this is not recommended by Microsoft.

<a tabindex="0" title="Select a view" class="ms-crm-View-Name ms-crm-View-Name-View-Lite" id="crmGrid_SavedNewQuerySelector" style="text-decoration: none; position: relative;" onclick="return false;" href="javascript:;" gridid="crmGrid"><span class="ms-crm-View-Name ms-crm-ViewSelector-title-associated-lite ms-crm-TextAutoEllipsis" currentviewtype="1039" quickfindquery="{8DF19B44-A073-40C3-9D6D-EE1355D8C4BA}" userownedview="{00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001003}" userselecteddefaultview="" defaultsavedqueryview="{6FC35112-D06B-E711-8103-000C29CBC14A}" currentview="{6FC35112-D06B-E711-8103-000C29CBC14A}">New Customers</span><span class="ms-crm-View-icon ms-crm-ViewSelector-dropdown-icon-associated-lite"><img class="ms-crm-View-icon-associated-lite ms-crm-ImageStrip-Dropdown_Arrow" alt="Select a view" src="/_imgs/imagestrips/transparent_spacer.gif?ver=-1886137834"></span></a></div>

Let me know if this helps.
