Stefanos.Thomaidis Onclick Javascript button in a related object which is supposed to clone the first record.
2 issues.
1. var a never gets the actual salesforce 15 digit id for the custom object "Location__c". How do I get this value?
2. When I build the query I ge the message "unexpected token". How do I use a variable like "a" in a query statement such as below?:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/connection.js")}
var a = {!Location__c.Id}
var result = sforce.connection.query("SELECT Id FROM Promo_Material_Snapshot__c"+
" WHERE Location__c = a limit 1")
var records = result.getArray("records")
var IdsToClone = String(records[0]).substring(40, 55)
window.open("/"+IdsToClone +"/e?clone=1&retURL=/"+IdsToClone )
Hi,
Try the below code snippet as reference:
var a = {!Location__c.Id}
var query1='SELECT Id FROM Promo_Material_Snapshot__c WHERE Location__c =\''+ a+'\' limit 1';
var result =sforce.connection.query(query1);
Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
Hi,
Try the Below code as a reference:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/15.0/connection.js")}
var a="{!Location__c.Id}";
var strQuery="SELECT Id FROM Promo_Material_Snapshot__c where Location__c =\'"+ a + "\' limit 1";
var result = sforce.connection.query(strQuery);
var records = result.getArray("records");
var IdsToClone = String(records[0]).substring(21, 36);
window.open("/"+IdsToClone +"/e?clone=1&retURL=/"+IdsToClone );
If there is problem then let me know the problem.
Hi ,
Thank you for the immediate reply.
I had similar lines applied but it won't give the Salesforce session 15 digit Id. It keeps giving a field ID__c , one of many custom fields I have introduced into this custom object.
Is there any chance we have an override of the standard session value with this one?
all the best,
Hi,
What you need ? You need salesforce session id or Id get from the Object.
If you need session id then you can use {!GETSESSIONID()}
If need field id then use
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/15.0/connection.js")}
var a="{!Location__c.Id}";
var strQuery="SELECT Id FROM Promo_Material_Snapshot__c where Location__c =\'"+ a + "\' limit 1";
var result = sforce.connection.query(strQuery);
var records = result.getArray("records");
var IdsToClone =records[0].Id;
Enter the field name what you need.If this is not the solution of your problem then let me know.
Hi,
I need the session Id.
The situation is the following:
I have a custom object Location__c. For this, I have a related custom object Promo_Material_Snapshot__c.
What I want is to clone via a button in Location__c the first record of the relatede child object Promo_Material_Snapshot__c.
I have the following code on a button:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/21.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/21.0/apex.js")}
var a = {!GETSESSIONID()}
var result = sforce.connection.query("SELECT Id FROM Promo_Material_Snapshot__c"+
" WHERE Location_Name__c = '"+ a +"' limit 1")
alert(result)
var records = result.getArray("records")
var IdsToClone = String(records[0]).substring(40, 55)
alert(IdsToClone)
window.open("/"+IdsToClone +"/e?clone=1&retURL=/"+IdsToClone )
but when I try to alert the result (whcih will also show the session id) keeps giving the error:
"Unexpected token ILLEGAL"
Thanks 4 all,
Hi,
If i am right when you click on the button on detail page of Location__c then it should open a window with the following URL : window.open("/"+IdsToClone +"/e?clone=1&retURL=/"+IdsToClone );
Where IdsToClone is a id of Promo_Material_Snapshot__c.
Did you tried my Answer ?
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/15.0/connection.js")}
sforce.connection.sessionid="{!GETSESSIONID()}";
var a="{!Location__c.Id}";
var strQuery="SELECT Id FROM Promo_Material_Snapshot__c where id =\'"+ a + "\' limit 1";
var result = sforce.connection.query(strQuery);
var records = result.getArray("records");
var IdsToClone =records[0].Id;
alert(IdsToClone);
window.open("/"+IdsToClone +"/e?clone=1&retURL=/"+IdsToClone );
IdsToClone is a id of Promo_Material_Snapshot__c.
Hi,
I tried your answer but when I try to first alert what I get from {!GETSESSIONID()}, it doesn't give the session salesforce id but the value of a field with API : ID__c (i.e 6.073)
This is why I stated if we have a conflict.
Thanks,
The most funny of all is that when I try the same code, same button in the Sandbox, I get the desired 15digit session Id!!!!
And the fields are all the same as in production!
Any ideas?
all the best,
Hi,
Have you checked that the Location__c has the child Record Promo_Material_Snapshot__c.
Please paste your code also.
Hi,
Yes, there is a lookup in Promo_Material_Snapshot__c to Location__c which is the parent.
Both exist in production and in the Sandbox.
I try your code in Production and I do not get the session id but the value from the field "ID__c".
The same field exists in the Sandbox and when I try your code, it gives me the session ID.
all the best,
Hi,
I am talking about the record Location__c has a record of Promo_Material_Snapshot__c in related list when you click on the Button on detail page of Location__c record.
Hi,
Yes it has.
best,
I just ran into a similar issue. I created a field in my sandbox called Id__c and copied data from Production to the Sandbox. I populated this Id__c field with the value from Id in Production.
Some Apex code I was running picked up the value of the Id__c field instead of the standard field Id. It caused an error of course, since the Id does not exist in the Sandbox.
I don't know why this occured, but I learned never to name a custom field "Id" again.
Cheers mate,
Thanks for the answer. This is what I also came across and finally solve it - and now it works - by comparing some other 2 fields which exist both in Parent and child objects.
The customer is happy, I am also!
All the best,
Stefanos
