Get accountnumber of account with Javascript and use it in a ribbon buton

Posted on by david.abax

Hi,

I am not into JavaScript, I'm trying to build a ribbon button in the Account entity form and it should just only open a URL with the accountnumber pasted in the url.

www.url.com/"accountnumber"

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

function openWin(executionContext) {
var accountNumber = "";
accountNumber= executionContext.getAttribute("accountnumber").getValue();
window.open("http://www.url.com/" accountnumber "")
}

This code seems not work, the button itself is working when I only have the javascript

window.open("https://www.google.com")

Any advise, what I'm doing wrong there?

Also the icons I added with Ribbon Benchwork does not show, instead the button ribbon shows a puzzle piece.

Thank you!

Kind regards

Hello, you could try this:

var accountNumber = "";

accountNumber= executionContext.getAttribute("accountnumber").getValue();

var windowOptions = {

openInNewWindow: false, //true

height: 400,

width: 400

};

var url = "google.com&quot" + accountNumber.toString();

Xrm.Navigation.openUrl(url, urlOptions);

I hope it works!

Thanks!

Hi,

sorry did not work.

Also I tried to another code

function openWin(primaryControl) { var formContext = primaryControl.getFormContext(); var accountNumer = formContext.getAttribute("accountnumber").getValue(); var windowOptions = { openInNewWindow: false, //true height: 400, width: 400 }; var url = "http://www.google.com"" accountNumber.toString(); Xrm.Navigation.openUrl(url, urlOptions); }

This seems also not to work.

Hi David,

Please try below code:

function openWin(primaryControl) {

try{

debugger;

//var formContext = primaryControl.getFormContext();

var accountNumber = primaryControl.getAttribute("accountnumber").getValue();

var windowOptions = {

openInNewWindow: false, //true

height: 400,

width: 400

};

var url = "">www.google.com&quot" + accountNumber.toString();

Xrm.Navigation.openUrl(url, windowOptions);

}

catch(e)

{

alert(e.message);

}

}

When we pass Primary Control then it contains the FormContext of entity. hence getFormContext() method does not work.

Hope this help.

Thanks,
Pradeep.
