We would need to see the details for the custom button to know why this behavior happens. What is the enabled property of the button bound to?

Hello Diana,

I've found an informative article according to your request for a comfortable understanding of the needed steps:
1) Please, find the added function with the same functionality as "getSectionActions"  from the article (paragraph 4).
2) Add new property to the object:
    "IsEnabledForSelectedAll": true

As a result, the code will look like:

getSectionActions: function() {
                    var actionMenuItems = this.callParent(arguments);
                    actionMenuItems.addItem(this.getButtonMenuItem({
                        "Caption": {bindTo: "Resources.Strings.MultiplyChangeAction"},
                        "Click": {bindTo: "showLoanInfo"},
                        "Enabled": {bindTo: "isCustomActionEnabled"},
                        "IsEnabledForSelectedAll": true
                    }));
                    return actionMenuItems;
                }                  

Hi Harvey, 

Does it not work to bind an attribute to the enabled property of a button and set as true/false? I've not tried that, but I assume it would work? Have you already tried that?

Ryan

Classic UI buttons have a property 'enabled'
Freedom UI buttons have a property 'disabled'

Huh, not sure how I missed that, could've sworn I tried doing that! Thanks both.

As a note, the only way I could find to put some kind of hint/tooltip on the button when it's disabled is by using the "title" property, which gives you a standard browser tooltip display when hovering the mouse over the button. And binding that to an attribute that you change to be blank when the button is enabled.

Hello,
If you want to add a button to an action menu for the active row, the regular approach will result in the error you received.
Here you can find an example of how to configure such a button properly.

Hi,

Have you tried the tooltip in the page designer at field level ?

Yes, but how can we format that text?

I'd like to add bullets in the text and breaklines

You can add add HTML to a tooltip in Freedom UI. .

If you need some dynamic content for the tooltip, you can add an attribute and bind it to the tooltip property, then set the tip at runtime by setting the attribute.

Ryan

Awesome! thanks

Hi,



I think, you can do this by appending buttons in the targeted column.

 

var baseEle = "#Identifier div[id*=\"item-" + rowId + "\"]  div:nth-last-child(2)";
$(baseEle).append(Ext.String.format("<span></span>"));
 
var ele = baseSelector + ">span";
$(ele).click(function() {});

 

Loop collection in prepareResponseCollection method or onGridDataLoaded

Hi Ramya,

 

In order to override the functionality of the Add Record button on the Grid Page of the Mobile Application follow these steps:



1) In Configuration create a Module, for example call it UsrChangeButtonLogic:

Ext.define("InvoiceGridPage.Controller", {
    override: "Terrasoft.controller.BaseGridPage",
    statics: {
        Model: Invoice
    },
    executeAddAction: function () {
        console.log('Hello1');
        this.callParent(arguments);
           console.log('Hello2');
    }
});

2) Create a replacing view module for the MobileApplicationManifestDefaultWorkplace module. Or use a mobile wizard  - it will create the manifest automatically. Add the newly created module UsrChangeButtonLogic to the manifest:

  "Models": {
        ...
        },
        "Invoice": {
            ...
            ],
            "ModelExtensions": [],
            "PagesExtensions": [
                "MobileInvoiceRecordPageSettingsDefaultWorkplace",
                "UsrChangeButtonLogic"
            ]
        }
    },

3) Compile your Workplace and synchronize the mobile application again.

 

As a result, "Add record" button click of Invoices Grid Page will be overwritten.  

 

Artem Smyrnov,

Thank you! That worked. Can you also help me figure out how to show a confirmation dialog on the mobile application? Something similar to the web app implementation of Terrasoft.showConfirmation? Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Ramya

Ramya R,

Use Terrasoft.MessageBox.showMessage ('your confirmation dialog message') to display a confirmation dialog.



Many thanks.

Artem

 

Artem Smyrnov,

The Terrasoft.MessageBox.showMessage method only helps in displaying a message to the user. I am looking for a functionality where the user is able to select "Yes" or "No" options below the message. Can you please help me with this?

Thanks,

Ramya

Hi Ramya,

Currently there is no way to add custom buttons in Freedom UI (the article you refer to will only work in classic UI). I've created a suggestion for our R&D team to make it possible to add buttons in Freedom UI using no-code capabilities and pointed them to your community question.

Thank you for helping us in making the app better!

Hi Oleg Drobina,

Thank you for the prompt response. In the Classic UI, is it possible to add a button somewhere other than the record's edit page, maybe in the section page or a common menu like the settings? Or is it possible to override the existing 'Add Contact' button?



Regards,

Ramya

Hello Lakindu,

In your example, the attribute "IsButtonEnabled" is true when defined.

 

attributes: {
    "IsButtonEnabled": {
		dataValueType: Terrasoft.DataValueType.BOOLEAN,
		type: Terrasoft.ViewModelColumnType.VIRTUAL_COLUMN,
		value: true
	}
}

There are some options.

1) First one is to use local conditions, already available on the page by setting the value to this attribute in the onEntityInitialized method:

methods: {
			onEntityInitialized: function() {
				this.callParent(arguments);
				this.setIsButtonEnabled();
			},
			setIsButtonEnabled: function() {
				if (YOUR CONDITION) {
					this.set("IsButtonEnabled", true);
				}
				else this.set("IsButtonEnabled", false);
			}
		},

2) If you want to make this condition global for all users - you would need to use DataBase. For example, add a new boolean column to the connected object (It is not necessary to display this column on any page, it may just exist in the background). Read and update the value to determine if the button is visible or not.

Best Regards,

Dan

Hi Denis,

 I really appreciate your reply but I'm afraid you clearly didn't understand my question here. I'm asking how to disable or hide the button once the button is CLICKED. where you also mentioned "YOUR CONDITION". what I want is that "your condition" part.



Kind Regards,

Lakindu

Lakindu Yasomith,

I am sorry for assuming that the result of the click would have other visible changes in local conditions that were not mentioned.

Since now we have the only possible condition of the button - it is either clicked or not - the only solution would be adding a global boolean variable (a checkbox) to the object that would be stored in the DB.

We can imagine that the column would be UsrButtonIsClicked.

You would be able to check it using this.UsrButtonIsClicked or method to call query handler "await". Please see an example by the link below:

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/front_end_development_freedo…

Note that logic of updating this value in the database as onClick is triggered would be also required.

Best Regards,

Denys

Thank you for your response. This is helpful

Hello,

Please note that there is no way to achieve such logic using basic user tools at the moment. 

However, we registtered this idea for our R&D team for review and this functionality may appear in future releases.

Assuming this is a classic page, you can do the following, passing the Code for the tab you want to set as the active/selected tab:

// set tab with code "GeneralInfoTab" as selected tab
this.setActiveTab("GeneralInfoTab");

Full article here on this topic: https://customerfx.com/article/programmatically-selecting-showing-or-hi…

If this is a Freedom UI page, not sure.

Ryan

Being able to do so in Freedom UI is a must. Anybody have any way of doing so? There must be some way.

It looks like this can be achieved in Freedom UI by setting the attribute <Tab element code>_SelectedTabIndex_Profile to the index of the tab you want to display, so the first tab would be 0, the second 1 etc. To show the 2nd tab for me, the code was:

request.$context.Tabs_SelectedTabIndex_Profile=1

Worth noting that when I try to set this in the init event (crt.HandleViewModelInitRequest) it throws an error in the console (though it does change the tab, so not sure what actually breaks, if anything). I worked around this by putting the set of the value inside a JS timeout for 800ms, which is quick enough to not really be noticeable to users while preventing the error. I'm guessing it's some kind of data loading race condition or something, loading the data for a tab that then isn't being shown.
