Update list and detail views after mass actions and button clicks

[bandtank]

I added a custom button in the detail view of an entity, which works as expected. I would like to refresh the page after the button finishes processing, but I can't figure out how to do that. I'm using this documentation.

Here is my code:

define('custom:send-message', ['action-handler'], function (Dep) {
  return Dep.extend({
    actionSendMessage: function (data, e) {
        this.view.notify("Sending...");
        Espo.Ajax.postRequest('MessageC/action/Send', {
          ids: [this.view.model.id],
        }).then(() => {
          Espo.Ui.success('Done');
          this.view.reRender(true);
        });
    },

    initSendMessage: function () {
      if(this.view.model.get('status') !== "Waiting") {
        this.view.hideHeaderActionItem('sendMessage');  
      }
    },
  });
});​

I added "this.view.reRender(true)" to refresh the page, but it doesn't work in list of detail view. Any ideas?

You probably know this already but in case you don't!

With version 7+, after an upgrade/update of EspoCRM all the logged in page will pop up saying there is an update so you need to refresh.

Same thing happen when you install Extension.

Perhaps if you look at these two code you can see how it is done... however it have a Popup requesting permission though so you might want to remove that code (if that even possible!).

Have tried this

this.listenTo(this.model, 'sync', this.render);​

Make sure that you are refreshing the correct view.

Remember that Backbone uses nested views and a "list" inside a "detail" view is probably a nested view.

Perhaps this post explains it better: https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/deve...-s-detail-view

Thanks everyone for the help. Here is what I did to fix my issues for a "Send Message" button in the detail view of an entity called MessageC:

In custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/MessageC.json:

{
    ...
    "massActionList": [
        "__APPEND__",
        "sendMessages"
    ],
    "checkAllResultMassActionList": [
        "__APPEND__",
        "sendMessages"
    ],
    "massActionDefs": {
        "sendMessages": {
            "handler": "custom:send-messages",
            "initFunction": "initSendMessages"
        }
    },
    ...
    "menu": {
        "detail": {
            "buttons": [
                "__APPEND__",
                {
                    "label": "Send Message",
                    "name": "sendMessage",
                    "action": "sendMessage",
                    "style": "default",
                    "acl": "edit",
                    "aclScope": "MessageC",
                    "data": {
                        "handler": "custom:send-message"
                    },
                    "initFunction": "initSendMessage"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "views": {
        "detail": "custom:views/MessageC/detail"
    }
}​​

In client/custom/src/views/MessageC/detail.js:

define('custom:views/MessageC/detail', ['views/detail'], function (Dep) {
  return Dep.extend({
      setup: function() {
          Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);
          this.listenTo(this.model, 'sync', (model) => {
            if(model.get('status') !== "Waiting") {
              this.hideHeaderActionItem('sendMessage');
            } else {
              this.showHeaderActionItem('sendMessage');
            }
          });
      },
  });
});​

In client/custom/src/send-message.js:

define('custom:send-message', ['action-handler'], function (Dep) {
  return Dep.extend({
    actionSendMessage: function (data, e) {
        this.view.notify("Sending...");
        Espo.Ajax.postRequest('MessageC/action/Send', {
          ids: [this.view.model.id],
        }).then(() => {
          this.view.model.fetch().then(() => {
            Espo.Ui.success('Done');
          });
        });
    },

    initSendMessage: function () {
    if(this.view.model.get('status') !== "Waiting") {
        this.view.hideHeaderActionItem('sendMessage');
      }
    },
  });
});  ​

The button appears when the status is set to "Waiting" and it disappears when the status is set to anything else. Maybe there is a better solution, but the code I posted works well so far.

What counts is that it works !

congratulations and thanks for posting the solution

I added this to the 'wiki'. Quite a mouthful for the heading though.

@badtank not sure if you still need this or if it relevant to you:
