Posted on by Community Member

I use crm 2016 on-premmis. I want to create a record by clicking the custom button using javascript. I create button using ribbon workbench. In the solution, i add jquery-1.9.1.js as a webresources. I write simple code, just to try if the custom button is work or not.

function createAccount() {
  var account = {};
 account.Name = "Tes 001";
 account.Description = "Create Account Test";
 
 //Create the Account
 SDK.JQuery.createRecord(
     account,
     "account",
     function (account) {
      writeMessage("The account named \"" + account.Name + "\" was created with the AccountId : \"" + account.AccountId + "\".");
      writeMessage("Retrieving account with the AccountId: \"" + account.AccountId + "\".");
      retrieveAccount(account.AccountId)
     },
     errorHandler
   );
     
}

I call this function from custom button, but it seem doesn't work. Nothing happen when i click the custom button. Did i'm missing the requirements that make the function dont work ?

Hello,

To make your code work you should add a reference to webresources that you use and it's not only jQuery but following as well - msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg309549(v=crm.7).aspx

To use mentioned jQuery and SDK.jQuery webresources in ribbon you can use following approach - madcomputerist.blogspot.co.uk/.../referencing-multiple-javascript.html

Hi Andrii,

I have add reference to webresources and add both jquery 1.9.1 and SDK.Jquery.

I follow this link to add reference webresources:

https://rajeevpentyala.com/2014/05/25/loading-dependent-jscript-libraries-in-ribbon-buttons-execution-crm-2013/

This is my code inside customization.xml from the solution folder:

<RibbonDiffXml> <CustomActions> <CustomAction Id="new.contact.Button1.Button.CustomAction" Location="Mscrm.HomepageGrid.contact.MainTab.Management.Controls._children" Sequence="60"> <CommandUIDefinition> <Button Command="new.contact.Command0.Command" Id="new.contact.Button1.Button" LabelText="$LocLabels:new.contact.Button1.Button.LabelText" Sequence="60" TemplateAlias="o2" /> </CommandUIDefinition> </CustomAction> </CustomActions> <Templates> <RibbonTemplates Id="Mscrm.Templates"></RibbonTemplates> </Templates> <CommandDefinitions> <CommandDefinition Id="new.contact.Command0.Command"> <EnableRules /> <DisplayRules /> <Actions> <JavaScriptFunction FunctionName="IsNaN" Library="$webresource:new_jquery1.9.1" /> <JavaScriptFunction FunctionName="IsNaN" Library="$webresource:new_JquerySdk" /> <JavaScriptFunction FunctionName="IsNaN" Library="$webresource:new_jquery_1.9.1.min" /> <JavaScriptFunction FunctionName="createAccount" Library="$webresource:new_createContact" /> </Actions> </CommandDefinition> </CommandDefinitions> <RuleDefinitions> <TabDisplayRules /> <DisplayRules /> <EnableRules> <EnableRule Id="new.contact.EnableRule0.EnableRule"> <SelectionCountRule AppliesTo="SelectedEntity" Minimum="1" /> </EnableRule> </EnableRules> </RuleDefinitions> <LocLabels> <LocLabel Id="new.contact.Button1.Button.LabelText"> <Titles> <Title description="Button" languagecode="1033" /> </Titles> </LocLabel> </LocLabels> </RibbonDiffXml>

First - there is no IsNaN function. There is isNaN.

Second - don't use both jQuery and jQuery.min it has no sense.

That means that something is wrong with your code. You will have to troubleshoot your code - blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../debugging-custom-javascript-code-in-crm-using-browser-developer-tools

Unfortunately I can't help you more. I suggested everything I know and as usual - there are no miracles, always exists explanation why your code or customization doesn't work the way you wanted.

May the troubleshooting be with you!

Hii, Ramakanta

I found an error within my script. Can't using getServerUrl for CRM 2016. I need to use getClientUrl and my script is working now. But i had a problem when i want to update the record. Take a look at my update function:

function UpdateContact(accountId, accountName) { var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl().toString(); var ODATA_ENDPOINT = "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc"; var ODATA_EntityCollection = "/ContactSet"; var objContact = new Object(); // set the name of Account objContact.Id = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId(); // set the Primary Contact lookup field objContact.parentcustomerid= { Id: accountId, LogicalName: "account", Name: accountName }; // Parse the entity object into JSON var jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(objContact); $.ajax({ type: "POST", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", datatype: "json", url: serverUrl + ODATA_ENDPOINT + ODATA_EntityCollection, data: jsonEntity, beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) { XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); }, success: function (response) { if (response != null && response.d != null) { alert(response.d.ContactId); } }, error: function (xmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert("Status: " + textStatus + "; ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown); } }); }

The error is on the Line :

objContactId.Id = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

i think its not return a guid from selected record.

HI Fikri,

In 2016,You can use new CRM web api instead of this. Its simple and gives high performance.
