Portal Entitylist custom javascript problem: get ID from data-value

Hi,

I'm trying to build a link from a column in an Entitylist to redirect to a webform from a related entity. The javascript I'm trying to use is based on that posted here, but isn't working for me in the way that I want: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/thinkdynamicdodynamic/posts/crm-portals-add-hyperlink-on-custom-attribute-in-entity-list.

The javascript I've put together is as follows:

$(".entitylist").on("loaded", function () {

//To make the other field/column's value hyperlink

$("td[data-attribute*='xxxx_publishingreference']").each(function() {

var id=$(this).attr("data-value");

// Partial URL of webpage where you want to redirect the user or the page from which your Edit Entity Form is associated

var pagewhereToRedirect = "reports";

// Construct the URL

var redirect=window.location.href+pagewhereToRedirect+"/?id="+id;

// Make the field value Hyperlink

var text=$(this).text();

$(this).html("<a href="+redirect+">"+text+"</a>");

});

Unfortunately the "data-value" pulls back the following detail: data-value="{"Id":"85030da1-3b03-eb11-a813-000d3a7ed2f2","LogicalName":"xxxx_onlinedecisions","Name":"P-001009","KeyAttributes":[],"RowVersion":null,"ExtensionData":null}"

All I want is to get just the "Id" part of the string. I've tried a JSON parse, but this didn't work (although I may have used it wrong).

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ralph

Hi,

I suggest you to use developer tools to check properties of the entitylist and first try this in the console to make sure you are getting id part.

var id=$(this).attr("data-value");

or

var id=$(this).closest('tr').attr("data-id"); //as suggested in the post

Once you got it then test it will the js, don't have access to any demo portal otherwise I could check it.

Thanks Mahender - I'd had to change this original js because it was pointing to tr/data-id which wasn't the record GUID I needed. I've actually fixed this now, although the approach is a bit luddite:

var id=$(this).attr("data-value").slice(5,43);

This just brings me back the ID part of the value string/array.

However, if there's something more elegant I'd be grateful to hear it!

Cheers

Ralph

You have to get it by playing js only, so if you are getting id correctly now it should work fine.
