Open UX component based on condition

[coleresources]

I tried converting an action javascript to text mode and doing something like this

if {dialog.Object}.getValue('BUYERORCOBUYER' = 'CoBuyer'); {
{dialog.object}.runAction('UpdateCoBuyer');
} else {
{dialog.object}.runAction('UpdateBuyer');
}

But it does not accept it as valid javascript. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi Josh, try

if  [COLOR="#FF0000"]([/COLOR]{dialog.Object}.getValue('BUYERORCOBUYER' =[COLOR="#FF0000"]=[/COLOR] 'CoBuyer')[COLOR="#FF0000"])[/COLOR] {
{dialog.object}.runAction('UpdateCoBuyer');
} else {
{dialog.object}.runAction('UpdateBuyer');
}

Lance,

Thanks for the response. It did accept the syntax but when firing the OnClick event it errors out with that the object doesn't support property or method 'split'

Do you know if what I am trying to do should be possible?

Re: Open UX component based on condition

I've tried with an ajax callback and it does not work either.

if e.dataSubmitted.BuyerOrCoBuyer = "Buyer" then
	
	'updateBuyerOrCoBuyer = "{dialog.object}.runAction('UPDATEBUYER');"
	updateBuyerOrCoBuyer = "alert('IsBuyer');"
	
else
	
	
	'updateBuyerOrCoBuyer = "{dialog.object}.runAction('UPDATECOBUYER');"
	updateBuyerOrCoBuyer = "alert('IsNotBuyer');"
	
end if

The alert is displayed but the run action function doesn't work. Selwyn said this should be possible but I can't seem to make it work. Anyone that can provide some assistance here?

The action name is case sensitive. I thought I remembered that everything had to be capitalized when referencing controls and what not with the alpha js functions but once correcting the case the actions did run. I would've rather this all been handled on the client side instead of having to make a callback to the server but it is working.

Re: Open UX component based on condition

To get it to run on the client side, have you tried:

var myUser = {dialog.Object}.getValue('BUYERORCOBUYER');
if (myUser == 'CoBuyer'); {
{dialog.object}.runAction('UpdateCoBuyer');
} else {
{dialog.object}.runAction('UpdateBuyer');
}

I'll give this a try. Thanks for the response Jay! By the way, if this works...Why would it work where the code I posted doesn't? I can fire off an alert that works based on the syntax used. Why wouldn't the actions run? Maybe it's the same issue where the actions are case sensitive.

Re: Open UX component based on condition

If my suggestion works, perhaps yours did not work because the proper syntax for yours should have been:

if ({dialog.Object}.getValue('BUYERORCOBUYER') == 'CoBuyer'); {

(I believe what I have is correct, but you have to test it).
