Reference field in HTML Web Resource to create URL

Posted on by Community Member

Just starting out and not a programmer.

I have a linkedin reference on my contact form and a URL in the field "gvd_linkedin"

My web resource includes the following script from the linkedin site.

<html>

</html>

Whilst this works fine for showing my profile I want to replace the url with the field "gvd_linkedin" from the contact form.

Cheers.

RE: Reference field in HTML Web Resource to create URL

Thanks Mahadeo, Unfortunately this did not work for me.

I ended up getting salesmetrix.com code to work in CRM 2015 as follows.

Where new_linkedin is my field name which contains the full public url from linkedin for each contact and is on the form, and api_key is my own as retrieved from www.bingmapsportal.com

<html><head>

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript">

// api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

</script>

<meta charset="utf-8">

</head>

<body>

<script type="text/jscript">

try {

// Retrieve the profile url form dynamics field

var linkedprofilelink = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_linkedin").getValue();

if (linkedprofilelink != null) {

// Load the profile

newmemberprofile(linkedprofilelink);

}

}

catch (e) {

alert(e.message);

}

function newmemberprofile(id) {

// Create the script tag

var $s = $('<script/>');

// Assign the attributes

$s.attr({

'type': 'IN/MemberProfile',

'data-id': id,

'data-related': 'false',

'data-format': 'inline',

'data-width': '350px'

});

// Inject the tag

$('body').append($s);

}

</script>

</body></html>

hi Elderor,

I modified your code.. try this.

<html>

<head>

<script src="platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

function createUrl() {

var linkedinContact = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('gvd_linkedin').getValue();

var memberscrpt = document.getElementById('memberScript');

memberscrpt.setAttribute("data-id", linkedinContact);

}

</script>

<meta charset="utf-8">

</head>

<body onload="createUrl()">

<script id="memberScript" type="IN/MemberProfile" data-id="www.linkedin.com/.../"></script>

</body>

</html>

Hope this will solve your problem.

RE: Reference field in HTML Web Resource to create URL

Thanks for the pointers. Nearly there I believe.

data-id=???? What I have does not work. I need to reference the var linkedinContact

<html><head>
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function createUrl() {
var linkedinContact = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(“gvd_linkedin”).getValue();
}
</script>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>

<body onload="createUrl()">
<script type="IN/MemberProfile" data-id=linkedinContact></script>

</body></html>

Elderor,

Guido provided the script that you can use, it is dynamically based on the field value.
