Is it possible to add a Custom Salesforce Button from an installed package to a skuid page?  The button is an Execute JavaScript

Jake,

Add a Button Set or Page Title component to your page.  Then add a button and select ‘Custom: SF Button/Link’ as the Button Type.  Your button should show in the Custom Button / Link Name option.

Thanks,

Bill


Thanks Bill!  Looks like no OnClick JavaScript buttons are available with the above steps, it is a button of Type = List Button with Content Source = OnClick JavaScript.  It is a button that is from an installed package we purchased.


Jake,

Skuid would not be able to run the buttons with OnClick JavaScript.  Most of these types of buttons only have a little bit of ‘code’ in them.  Much of this code isn’t needed with Skuid.  You can ‘rebuild’ the button using Skuid actions most of the time.

If you need code, the script usually ‘translates’ to Skuid pretty well.  Here is a link where Rob Hatch rebuilt an OnClick JavaScript as a snippet:

Would you post the JavaScript from the button.  I can take a look.

Thanks,

Bill


Thanks for the shout out Bill… 


Thanks bill, I’ll post JavaScript in below comment.

Jake,

Will you add this button to a page with a table of Contacts?  It looks like the code was setup to use contacts ‘selected’ in a table (what Skuid calls a Mass Action).  The reason for asking is that it changes how you would get the Contact Ids to put into the form submit.

The good news is that this script only needs a few changes.

Thanks,

Bill


Correct, it is a table of Contacts with fields from Accounts as well.  So 3 models: Contacts, Accounts, User (to pull in Contacts/Accounts they own)


Jake,


This is a sample page with the script included as a mass action on the table. You will need to find the DOM element ‘Id’ of your table. I changed mine to ‘contactTable’.


Thanks,


Bill
