Abhishek Prasad 8 Invoking Javascript ( which is stored in static resource) through a custom button
Hi all,
I have a Java Script (Conga query which runs behind a button). I am asked to create a custom button, which will invoke the javascript (and open a conga template). I have created a custom button on the VF page and put the details over there. However, whenever any change happens in the JS, i need to change the VF as well (not desired). How should i achieve this. This is what i have tried till now:
Custom Settings: putting the JS code in Custome settings, and accessing it in Apex, and subsequently in VF custom button. I cant store the JS code in a custom setting field as my code is more than 255 characters (limitation of custom settings).
Static resource: i read on the net that this could be achieved by: (http://jevonearth.blogspot.ca/2011/08/using-static-resources-with-salesforce.html)
However, REQUIRESCRIPT cant be used for this purpose anymore (summer '16).
How should i proceed?

{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/resource/' & LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(NOW()),':',''),'-',''),' ',''),10) & '000/jbUtils')}

Did you tried the below workarounds
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("{!URLFOR($Resource.Sync_UnSync,'Sync_UnSync/jquery-1.9.1.js')}")} works well :)There is a workaround for this. You can access static resource by using a hard-coded URL as follows;
{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/resource/yourCustomResource.js')}let me know if any luck !
