Extension: Link Button

[Kpuc]

I also like the option of adding a button to the list view.
This allows you to display the entry in a modal without having to go into the detailed view.
To do this, I simply use a formula to automatically set the link to the button.

Can you share the formula and steps with us, please?

[Kharg]

Yes, this was the intended use case

Glad it's helping you

you have to create a manual workflow and use the manual workflow url in the field

Thanks many Kharg..

i like css style of button

Need to test

[Kharg]

will see if the strip issue can be fixed or disabled for other modes.

[ChrisSka83]

it works correctly in "New Tab" mode

[ChrisSka83]

ok, you have to enter the complete URL with the ID. I understand.

And the other one is really due to the theme.

But I have discovered another small error.
When I set Mode to "Open Modal" or "Open Popup",
Strip activate, then the http or https is removed.
Such links are not opened because this is attached to the CRM URL instead of opening a separate URL.

[Kharg]

You have to put the link to a record, that’s a valid url. such as https://crm.my.com/#Contact/view/5f607b7ac109b5cca


I think the issue with the normal modal is that you are using a custom theme, try with a default theme.

[ChrisSka83]

I'm testing what your extension can do.

If I set it to "Open Modal" in the settings
I enter a URL in the frontend, then a small modal appears


If I set it to "Apri Espo Modal"
With a normal URL, "Error: this is not a valid CRM URL" appears

What is a valid CRM URL then?
e.g. only /#Contact declares it as invalid.

[Kharg]

Espo modal or normal modal?

For normal modal the website you use in the modal has to support iframe, if iframe is blocked it will not work.

[ChrisSka83]

Thank you Kharg for this extension.

But please give me a tip on how to set it up correctly with Modal.
If I specify a link, display in modal, then only the named page is displayed in a very small modal.
