Banner hyperlink to saved SR/IR/CR/PR

Jerry_Veldhuis

At our site, we've customized the temporary banner that appears when a WI is saved so that the ID is hyperlinked back. This has been incredibly useful to users after submitting a new request and want to quickly navigate to it without having to go back to "My Requests". This customization is made in the we've customized the Scripts/app/app.lib.js file so its needs to be reapplied after any hotfix or upgrade.

We've also customized the timeout on the banner so it appears on the screen for 20 seconds (up from 4).

Here is the modified show function (Portal Version 4.0.10) with the customizations in bold-and-italic.

          show: function () {
            //var message = (document.cookie.match('(^|; )cireson_app_lib_message=([^;]*)') || 0)[2];
            try {
                //var message = localStorage.getItem("cireson_app_lib_message");
                var message = store.session.get("cireson_app_lib_message");
            } catch (e) {
            }
            if (message && message != "") {
                message = JSON.parse(message);
                message.text = decodeURIComponent(message.text);
                message.type = decodeURIComponent(message.type);
                // show message
                var container = $('#alertMessagesContainer');
                if (!container) {
                    kendo.ui.ExtAlertDialog.show({
                        title: localization.Warning,
                        message: message.text + "\n\n\n" + "message container is missing, #alertMessagesContainer"
                    });
                } else {
                    //remove any old ones
                    container.children('.alert').remove();

                    message.text=message.text.replace(/<strong>(SR\d+)<\/strong>/, '<strong><u><a href="/ServiceRequest/Edit/$1">$1</a></u></strong>')
                    message.text=message.text.replace(/<strong>(IR\d+)<\/strong>/, '<strong><u><a href="/Incident/Edit/$1">$1</a></u></strong>')
                    message.text=message.text.replace(/<strong>(CR\d+)<\/strong>/, '<strong><u><a href="/ChangeRequest/Edit/$1">$1</a></u></strong>')
                    message.text=message.text.replace(/<strong>(PR\d+)<\/strong>/, '<strong><u><a href="/Problem/Edit/$1">$1</a></u></strong>')

                    var box = $('<div>', { 'class': 'alert', html: message.text });
                    if (message.type) {
                        box.addClass("alert-" + message.type);
                    }
                    container.append(box)
                    //hide after some time
                    setTimeout(function () {
                        container.children('.alert').slideUp();
                    }, 20000);
                }
                //document.cookie = "cireson_app_lib_message=; path=/";
                try {
                    //var message = localStorage.removeItem("cireson_app_lib_message");
                    var message = store.session.remove("cireson_app_lib_message");
                } catch (e) {
                }
            }
        }
    }

Nice one @Jerry_Veldhuis !

Joe_Burrows

+1, This is functionality I get asked a lot for in support. Would make a good addition OOB

Jerry_Veldhuis

Thought this might help people understand what exactly this suggestion looks like.

merlenette_jones

+1 Nice work! Very impressive and fluid

Conner_Wood

Oh, this looks real nice, this really should be in future Cireson Builds!!!

Adrian_Mataisz

+1 This should be OOB with a customized setting for how long the banner to be displayed.

I think Cireson should allow many settings to be togglable or modified through settings. Perhaps an advanced settings section could be included in a major release cycle.

Great bit of work there @Jerry_Veldhuis
A really useful bit of code there and a very elegant solution!

Metro_ITS

We did nearly the same thing Jerry. Our staff really appreciate it, especially our Help Desk who frequently open tickets, then have to immediately return to the ticket to do further work. They were going through a lot of sticky notes, frantically writing down the ticket numbers.

Could you save that .js file in your custom folder so you wouldn't have to reapply each upgrade?

Brett_Moffett

@Brian_Winter
Yes, Adding this code to Custom.js within the customspace folder will get this result to work and you just have to make sure you backup that folder before doing any upgrades....   just in case.

Crobertson

I added this code to the app.lib.js file but not getting the expected result anything else I need to do to make the change take effect?

Brian_Winter

So I tried putting this file in the CustomSpace folder and no joy.  This file with modifications has to stay in it's original location.
