Extension: Link Button

[Kharg]

I just noticed that I forgot to add a basic mode, so I just released version 1.5.0 with the following changes:

• Removed strip url option
• Added Open Url option

Open Url will directly redirect to the field url in the current tab, useful if you want an alternative to an entity linked record.

Not possible unfortunately, it wouldn’t know what’s the start or the end.

Kharg this arrow button here, so we can look at all related record. I think this is hard and not possible (easily)?

[Kharg]

I already got other requests to support the url of a list, doesn't look so easy

as for the second request, do you mean an array of buttons? just like multi urls work?

Mr Kharg! I'm trying to be smart!

One of my relationship is a Many-to-Many, so it is an array field. To use this button, I do a formula like this to view the 1st relationship.

cButtonVendor=string\concatenate($urlContact,array\at(contactsVendorIds,0))

After playing with this a few day now, I thought, "Hey!" isn't there a related list? URL is like so:
https://espocrm.com/#Case/related/52...contactsVendor



Anyway trying to be smart I tried to use that URL, unfortunately it Error 404.

So... too long didn't read feature request:

1) Request support of URL list (if possible)
2) Support of Array, so we can move left/right like email.

Thanks Boss

It's called title because it's the HTML title, tooltip wouldn't be correct as that's for the field label

[esforim]

After some usage, I discover the what Title option is for so I decide to edit it. Also I think since you using Button Label. Best to hide all Field Label name so it look nicer.
Kharg, would Tooltips be more correct name for this setting?

Stealing ChrisSka83 idea, this what the result of adding it to List view. Allow you to open it as "preview".

The formula is in page 1. Look like 60px is still not enough in spacing if you want the label. Best to hide it in my opinion.
And to make it read only if you using formula!

[esforim]

My formula if anyone want to copy it:

cButtonpAccountInfo=string\concatenate('https://espocrm.com/#Account/view/',accountId);

Be sure to change your website!

Anyway, very happy. Kharg kudo

Here my first idea, opening the primary Account from Contact. I have a feeling I will have trouble with Formula but we see how we go.

Here is the result.


Looking at this, if I want multiple button, best to keep button label shorter. And create a whole new "Panel" or Row to add these button.

Some note: the "P" because I only plan to do it for primary account at the moment.
The label and field name different because User-friendly???
Left Icon denote relationship from what we going to. The right icon denote relationship of current. Good idea or bad?
Anything else, well it up to you for design.

The normal modal is best used for internal CRM pages that can't be opened using the Espo Modal, such as relationships list

Trying to be smart with this new extension, I look at email and thought, this would be perfect! Too bad we can't edit the detail page. Look like the URL method is also blocked now as well!
