Lee Franke.ax999 How do to a confirmation popup based on data
We have a standard page (non-VF) with an "Edit" button that launches a VF page.
Somewhere in this workflow (before the edit page is rendered) I would like a confirmation popup that only appears if 2 properties are met.
if (user == X and RecordType==Y).
If the user selects "OK" then the record is edited. If the user selects "Cancel" then they stay on the original page.
I seriously doubt I can code behind the edit button enough for it to occur on the non-VF page, so I'll need to get it done on a VF page. Can I put the confirm window on the constructor of the existing VF page? Or will I need a new pass thru VF page that does the confirmation and then launches the appropriate page?
Did I miss anything?
thanks,
lee
Hi,
You can create a custom button with the same label on the standard page and check condition in JavaScript and redirect the use according to your condition.
Refer the below example
I have created a custom buttonwith Content Source =OnClcik Javascript on the Contact with edit label and check the following condition
var c=confirm("do you want to edit");
if(c==true)
window.location='/{!Contact.Id}/e';
Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

How in Javascript can I get user and record information? As I was looking into this, that seemed to be the problem was that I could not access the data that I needed in order to run the test.

When you create the button use the merge fields in the editor, that is the eaisest way.
there are merge fields for $User and all of the fields on the record
When using the merge fields in Java remember to wrap them in single quotes i.e. '{!Stage}' if they are text based
Merge fields, I forgot about those.
I'm a part time Salesforce developer for our company, so everytime I have something to do I have to blow the dust bunnies out of my brain.
thanks!
