Julian Juez Alfaro VF page used in "Home" page to open records in Service Cloud Console
Good day to you all, I know nothing about developing and less than nothing of javascript, and I hope anyone can help me with the following:
We are using VF pages as components of the standard "Home" page (instead of just having the standard components "tasks", "items to approve", etc, we are adding some other stuff). Our VF page looks like this:
<apex:page controller="QueueCases" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" setup="false" action="{!renderdiffview}">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!results}" var="c" rows="50" id="cases_table">
<apex:column >
<a href="javascript:srcUp(%27%2F{!c.Id}%3Fisdtp%3Dvw%27);">{!c.CaseNumber}</a>
<apex:facet name="header">Case Number</apex:facet>
</apex:column>
<apex:column headerValue="Subject">
<apex:outputField value="{!c.Subject}"/>
</apex:column>
<apex:column headerValue="Date/Time Opened">
<apex:outputField value="{!c.CreatedDate}"/>
</apex:column>
<apex:column headerValue="Account Name">
<apex:outputField value="{!c.Accountid}"/>
</apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
However, when I go to the "Home" page (using either the Service Cloud Console or not) and click on the Case Number, nothing happens.
If I replace
<apex:column >
<a href="javascript:srcUp(%27%2F{!c.Id}%3Fisdtp%3Dvw%27);">{!c.CaseNumber}</a>
<apex:facet name="header">Case Number</apex:facet>
</apex:column>
with
<apex:column >
<a target="_parent" href="/{!c.id}">{!c.CaseNumber}</a>
<apex:facet name="header">Case Number</apex:facet>
</apex:column>
then it works (because it opens the case) but not like we want to, because it does not open the case in the Service Cloud Console (we want the case to be open on the Service Cloud Console).
I have spent days trying to fix it but what can we expect from someone like me with absolutely no programming knowledge? :-(
I have searched on the internet and tried to modify code from others. I have come to understand that I need to use javascript and I guess also the srcUp function. I have read lots of posts and the entire cook book. Looked at the service cloud console integration toolkit. Nothing.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Julian
