Good morning, I come to you guys looking for some assistance getting two functions to work. I think I'm almost there but I'm missing something. I cannot get the field in SharePoint to update but I can get my document to open no problem. Is something missing in the code below?
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnUpdateRecord(userId, id) {
$.getJSON("PROGRAM/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/List(" + id + ")?$select=ViewBy", function (data) {
var viewby = data.d.ViewBy;
var username = userId;
var doc = new Object();
doc.ViewBy = username;
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "PROGRAM/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/List(" + id + ")",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
processData: false,
beforeSend: beforeSendFunction,
data: JSON.stringify(doc),
dataType: "json",
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.status + ": " + xhr.statusText);
},
success: function () {
}
});
});
}
function fnRecordAccess(id, path) {
$.ajax({
url: "GetCurrentUser.aspx",
context: document.body
}).success(function(result) {
var userId = $(result).find('.wtf').text()
fnUpdateRecord(userId, id);
window.open(path, "othrWn");
}).error(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
</script>
I think call those functions via an OnClick:
onclick='fnRecordAccess(" + i.Id + ", "" + path + "")'><i class='fa fa-lg fa-pencil'></i> View</a>
I can get the item/infopath form to load in another window but it doesn't seem to run the function to add the username in the ViewBy column. Any ideas? Thank you for assisting!
Edit: Added fnCountrySearch; this calls the other functions.
function fnCountrySearch(choice) {
fnWaitDialog("show");
var searchId = choice;
$("#tableBody tr").remove();
$.getJSON("PROGRAM/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/List?$filter=Country eq '" + searchId + "'&$orderby=Name", function (data) {
var d = data.d;
if (d.results.length == 0) {
$("#noResultsAlert").show();
$("#notingQueried").hide();
}
else {
$.each(d.results, function (n, i) {
var path = i.Path + "/" + i.Name;
$("#tableBody").append("<tr><td>" + "<a class='btn btn-sm btn-default' class='pull-left' href='#' onclick='fnRecordAccess(" + i.Id + ", "" + path + "")'><i class='fa fa-lg fa-pencil'></i> View</a></td></tr>");
});
$("#noResultsAlert").hide();
$("#notingQueried").hide();
}
})
.always(function () {
fnWaitDialog("hide");
});
}
The beforeSendFunction:
function beforeSendFunction(xhr) {
// Manipulate headers for update
xhr.setRequestHeader("If-Match", "*");
// Using MERGE so that the entire entity doesn't need to be sent over the wire.
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-HTTP-Method", 'MERGE');
}
REST
To compare your code with published examples, you can refer to Microsoft's documentation of SharePoint 2010's REST interface here:
Data Access for Client Applications: Using the REST Interface
Reference Implementation: Client: Using the REST Interface from JavaScript
JSOM
SharePoint 2010 does have a JavaScript client object model that you can use as an alternative to the REST API. This can be an especially attractive option if you find yourself invoking the REST API via JavaScript, since the client object model does not require additional libraries.
If you were to rewrite your fnUpdateRecord method to use the JavaScript client object model it would look like this:
fnUpdateRecord(userId, id){
var listName = "List", fieldName = "ViewBy", newValue = userId + " # " + new Date() + ";\n";
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
var list = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(listName);
var item = list.getItemById(id);
clientContext.load(item);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,function(){
// get current field value...
var currentValue = item.get_item(fieldName);
item.set_item(fieldName, newValue + currentValue);
item.update();
// update the field with the new value
clientContext.executeQueryAsync();
}),Function.createDelegate(this,function(sender,args){alert(args.get_message());}));
}
Note that when using the JavaScript Client Object Model, you need to wait for the SP.JS library to load first. This can be accomplished using the built-in ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded method like so:
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(yourFunctionName,"SP.JS");
or
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function(){
// your code here
},"SP.JS");

THE CONTEXT
I'm developing a web app that loads contents dynamycally, retrieving data from a
catalogue of items stored as a MongoDB database in which records of the items and their authors are in two distinct collections of the same database.
Authors ID are stored in the item field creator and refer to the author field #id. Each item can have none,one or many authors.
Item sample
{
"_id" : ObjectId("59f5de430fa594333bb338a6"),
"#id" : "http://minerva.atcult.it/rdf/000000016009",
"creator" : "http://minerva.atcult.it/rdf/47734211-2637-3895-a690-4f33412931ec",
"identifier" : "000000016009",
"issued" : "fine sec. XIV - inizi sec. XV",
"title" : "Quadrans vetus",
"label" : "Quadrans vetus"
}
Author sample
{
"_id" : ObjectId("59f5d8e80fa594333bb1d72c"),
"#id" : "http://minerva.atcult.it/rdf/0007e43e-107f-3d18-b4bc-89f8d430fe59",
"#type" : "foaf:Person",
"name" : "Risse, Wilhelm"
}
WHAT WORKS
I query the database submitting a string in a form, using this PHP script
ITEM PHP SCRIPT
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$title=$_GET['item'];
$client = new MongoDB\Client("mongodb://localhost:27017");
$db=$client->galileo;
$collection=$db->items;
$regex=new MongoDB\BSON\Regex ('^'.$title,'im');
$documentlist=$collection->find(['title'=>$regex],['projection'=>['_id'=>0,'title'=>1,'creator'=>1,'issued'=>1]]);
$items=$documentlist->toArray();
echo (json_encode($items));
?>
called by a Javascript script (new_search.js) using ajax, that has also the responsibility to attach to html document a <li class=item> for every item that matches the query, inserting the JSON fields and putting them in the provided tags ( <li class=item-name>,<li class=auth-name, and the last <li> in div class=item-info for date).
WHAT DOES NOT WORK
My intent is reproduce the pattern to retrieve author names from another collection in the same database, querying it using author field #id from the html tag <li class=auth-name, using a similar php script and a similar ajax call.
I tried to make a nested ajax call (in the one I used to retrieve the items infos) to invoke author_query.php that performs the MongoDB query on the collection of authors.
So, the question is: Is it possible use the $_GET superglobal to get the html tag that contains the author id #id in order to search it in the database?
Otherwise, how can I adjust the code to pass a javascript variable to php (not by user input) that lets me keep the content already loaded on the page?
UPDATES
To make clearer the question, I follow the tips in the comments and I updated my scripts using JSON directly to provide the needed data.
I also perfom a debug on the js code and it's clear that PHP don't provide any response,in fact ajax calls for authors name fails systematically.
I suppose that occurs because PHP don't receive the data dueto the fact I'm not using the correct syntax probably (in js code or in the php with $_GET or in both) to pass the variable author (I also tried data:'author='+author treating the JSON object author has a string). Anyway I don't understand what is the correct form to write the variable to pass using the data field of ajax().

"I'm sure that authors array... is not empty and actually contains the authors IDs". You mean the jQuery object $('.item')? I think that it is empty, because it is created too soon.
The first $.ajax call sends an ajax request and sets a handler to add more stuff to the HTML, including elements that will match the CSS selector .item. But the handler doesn't run yet because it's asynchronous. Immediately after this, the object $('.item') is created, but it's empty because the new .item elements haven't been created yet. So no more ajax requests are sent. Some time later, the call to item_query.php returns, and the new HTML stuff is added, including the .item elements. But by now it's too late.
You say the array was not empty. I suspect you checked this by running the CSS selector after doing the search, after the return of the ajax call.
A lot of newbies have problems like this with asynchronous javascript. If you want to use the result of an asynchronous function in another function, you have to call the second function inside the callback function of the first one. (Actually there are more sophisticated ways of combining asynchronous functions together, but this is good enough for now.)
On a side note, you've done this in a slightly strange way where you save data in HTML, and then read the HTML to do some more stuff. I wouldn't use HTML as a storage place - just use variables like you would for most other things.
Try this:
$.ajax({
url: "item_query.php",
...
success: function (items) {
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var author = items[i].creator;
var authors;
// insert code here to generate authors from author.split(',') .
// authors should look something like this: [{author: 'http://minerva.atcult.it/rdf/47734211-2637-3895-a690-4f33412931ec'}] .
$.ajax({
url: "author_query.php",
type: "GET",
data: JSON.stringify(authors),
...
success: function (auth_json) {
...
},
error: function () {
console.log('Error 1');
}
});
$("#items-list").append(
'<li class="item">' +
'<div class="item-photo-container">' +
'<img src=images/item_126.jpg>' +
"</div><!--end item-photo-container-->" +
'<div class="item-info">' +
'<ul>' +
'<li><a><h3 class="item-name">' + items[i].title + '</h3></a></li>' +
'<li class="auth-name">' + items[i].creator+ '</li>' +
'<li>' + items[i].issued + '</li>' +
'</ul>' +
'</div><!--end item-info-->' +
'</li><!--end item-->'
);
}
}
});
I make the first call to retrieve the item infos asynchronous and the nested that search for the authors name synchronous. In this way I solved the problem.
For sure it is not the best solution, and it needs a quite long,but acceptable, time (<1 second) to load the content.

I coded up just like everybody else on the net but my WebMethod isn't getting hit from the post action. I believe my code is fine but I'll post my code just in case.
I put a breakpoint in the WebMethod, this is how I know it isn't being called.
Any help would be appreciated.

cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

There is a problem the data object, it's a string not an object
Its not recommended to create the SQL on client side, it's a security flaw unless it's an application
//Problem is a string not object
var Data = '{varSQL: ' + varSQL + ' }'
//Solution below
var Data = {'varSQL': varSQL };
// Or this
var Data = 'varSQL='+varSQL;
The code seemed to work fine but if you have this issue in the future, these are the things I got from the internet that you seem to need for ajax post to work with WebMethods:
Ensure your URL in AJAX is correct
Ensure your json is well formed

How to get current user name using JavaScript in Script Editor web part?
Here is the code that worked for me:
<script src="/SiteAssets/jquery.SPServices-2013.02a.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/SiteAssets/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var userid= _spPageContextInfo.userId;
var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getuserbyid(" + userid + ")";
var requestHeaders = { "accept" : "application/json;odata=verbose" };
$.ajax({
url : requestUri,
contentType : "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers : requestHeaders,
success : onSuccess,
error : onError
});
function onSuccess(data, request){
var loginName = data.d.Title;
alert(loginName);
}
function onError(error) {
alert("error");
}
</script>
I found a much easier way, it doesn't even use SP.UserProfiles.js. I don't know if it applies to each one's particular case, but definitely worth sharing.
//assume we have a client context called context.
var web = context.get_web();
var user = web.get_currentUser(); //must load this to access info.
context.load(user);
context.executeQueryAsync(function(){
alert("User is: " + user.get_title()); //there is also id, email, so this is pretty useful.
}, function(){alert(":(");});
Anyways, thanks to your answers, I got to mingle a bit with UserProfiles, even though it is not really necessary for my case.
If you are in a SharePoint Page just use:
_spPageContextInfo.userId;
How about this:
$.getJSON(_spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_api/web/currentuser")
.done(function(data){
console.log(data.Title);
})
.fail(function() { console.log("Failed")});
You can use the SharePoint JSOM to get your current user's account information. This code (when added as the snippet in the Script Editor web part) will just pop up the user's display and account name in the browser - you'll want to add whatever else in gotAccount to get the name in the format you want.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/SP.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/SP.UserProfiles.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var personProperties;
SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getCurrentUser, 'SP.UserProfiles.js');
function getCurrentUser() {
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
personProperties = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext).getMyProperties();
clientContext.load(personProperties);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(gotAccount, requestFailed);
}
function gotAccount(sender, args) {
alert("Display Name: "+ personProperties.get_displayName() +
", Account Name: " + personProperties.get_accountName());
}
function requestFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Cannot get user account information: ' + args.get_message());
}
</script>
See the SP.UserProfiles.PersonProperties documentation in MSDN for more info.
To get current user info:
jQuery.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_api/web/currentuser",
type: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" }
}).done(function( data ){
console.log( data );
console.log( data.d.Title );
}).fail(function(){
console.log( failed );
});
U can use javascript to achive that like this:
function loadConstants() {
this.clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.oWeb = clientContext.get_web();
currentUser = this.oWeb.get_currentUser();
this.clientContext.load(currentUser);
completefunc:this.clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this,this.onQueryFailed));
}
//U must set a timeout to recivie the exactly user u want:
function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {
window.setTimeout("ttt();",1000);
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
console.log(args.get_message());
}
//By using a proper timeout, u can get current user :
function ttt(){
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var groupCollection = clientContext.get_web().get_siteGroups();
visitorsGroup = groupCollection.getByName('OLAP Portal Members');
t=this.currentUser .get_loginName().toLowerCase();
console.log ('this.currentUser .get_loginName() : '+ t);
}
I had to do it using XML, put the following in a Content Editor Web Part by adding a Content Editor Web Part, Edit the Web Part, then click the Edit Source button and paste in this:
<input type="button" onclick="GetUserInfo()" value="Show Domain, Username and Email"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetUserInfo() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "https://<ENTER YOUR DOMAIN HERE>/_api/web/currentuser",
dataType: "xml",
error: function (e) {
alert("An error occurred while processing XML file" + e.toString());
console.log("XML reading Failed: ", e);
},
success: function (response) {
var content = $(response).find("content");
var spsEmail = content.find("d\\:Email").text();
var rawLoginName = content.find("d\\:LoginName").text();
var spsDomainUser = rawLoginName.slice(rawLoginName.indexOf('|') + 1);
var indexOfSlash = spsDomainUser.indexOf('\\') + 1;
var spsDomain = spsDomainUser.slice(0, indexOfSlash - 1);
var spsUser = spsDomainUser.slice(indexOfSlash);
alert("Domain: " + spsDomain + " User: " + spsUser + " Email: " + spsEmail);
}
});
}
</script>
Check the following link to see if your data is XML or JSON:
https://<Your_Sharepoint_Domain>/_api/web/currentuser
In the accepted answer Kate uses this method:
var userid= _spPageContextInfo.userId;
var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getuserbyid(" + userid + ")
you can use below function if you know the id of the user:
function getUser(id){
var returnValue;
jQuery.ajax({
url: "http://YourSite/_api/Web/GetUserById(" + id + ")",
type: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },
success: function(data) {
var dataResults = data.d;
alert(dataResults.Title);
}
});
}
or you can try
var listURL = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/currentuser";
try this code..
function GetCurrentUsers() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.website = context.get_web();
var currentUser = website.get_currentUser();
context.load(currentUser);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded() {
var currentUsers = currentUser.get_title();
document.getElementById("txtIssued").innerHTML = currentUsers;
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
}
You can use sp page context info:
_spPageContextOnfo.userLoginName
<script type="text/javascript" >
function getDetails() {
var IDex = getQueryStringVariableByName("GameID");
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http:/...",
data: "{'ItemID': '" + escape(IDex) + "'}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
var data = response.d;
$('#output').empty();
$.each(data, function (index, item) {
var str = "Title: " + item.Name + "<br /> Current Price: " + item.CurrentPrice + "<br /> Developer: " + item.Developer + "<br /> Genres: " + item.Genre
$('#output').append('<li>' + str + '</li>');
});
},
failure: function (msg) {
$('#output').text(msg);
}
});
}
function getQueryStringVariableByName(name) {
//use this function by passing it the name of the variable in the query
//string your are looking for. For example, if I had the query string
//"...?id=1" then I could pass the name "id" to this procedure to retrieve
//the value of the id variable from the querystring, in this case "1".
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
var results = regex.exec(window.location.search);
if (results == null)
return "";
else
return decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
window.onload = GetDetails;
//$(document).ready( function () {
// getDetails();
//
</script>
I have tried multiple methods to get getDetails to run when the page loads. I have tried the window.onload method, putting it in the body tag, and a few others but I can't seem to find a way to get it to load automatically.
it should be getDetails or you could use:
$(document).ready(function(){
functionname();
});
To check if the compiler was actually reading your code when the page loads is
$(document).ready(function() {
getDetails();
});
function getDetails() {
alert("this is a try");
//or
console.log("this is a try");
}
and of course include the jquery framework to your document like
<script src = "path" type = "text/javascript"></script>
The best way to do is write it before you have to close the body tag
Hope it helps!
I'm not sure I understand the question, but the way to run a function a after page loads in jQuery is this:
$(document).ready(function() {
// Your code goes here..
myFunction();
});
It doesn't work?
$(function(){
getDetails();
});
$(document).ready(function() {
getDetails();
});
will work for sure.
I'm trying to pass a string from javascript to a razor ActionLink
string filtering =$("#Hello").val();
#Html.ActionLink(Name, ControllerName, new { sort = columm, order = orderby, filters = filtering })
but I'm not able to access to this variable, I already try #:filtering or "#filtering" but doesn't work anyway,
How can I pass the variable to the controller?
If you want to send or post the data to Controller's Action then you may try this...
<input type="submit" id="btnFilter" value="Filter" name="btnFilter" />
$('#btnFilter').click(function () {
var sort = sortValue;
var order = orderValue;
var filter= filterValue;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action(ActionName, ControllerName)',
data:'{"sort":"' + sort+ '","order":"' + order+ '","filter":"' + filter+ '"}',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (result) {
},
error: function () {
}
});
});
then.... in controller action
public ActionResult ActionName(string sort ,string order , string filter)
{
// do Something here....
}
You'd have to add the parameter to the URL yourself manually using jQuery to assign the href attribute of the anchor tag.
First, let's take off the filter parameter off your ActionLink and give it an ID (so we can reference it in jQUery):
#Html.ActionLink(Name, Controller, new { sort = columm, order = orderby }, new { id = "myLink" })
Then do the following jQuery:
$(function () {
var newLink = $("#myLink").attr("href") + "?filter= " + $("#Hello").val();
$("#myLink").attr("href", newLink);
});
the way that I could do it was passing the Url to the controller
window.location = window.location.protocol + "//" + location.host + "/Name/Controller/" + "?sort=sort" + "&order=order" + "&page=page" + "&filters=" + filter;
