Extension: Link Button

[muulox]

Hello,

In the Account entity, I have phone numbers like +40700000000 and another field called walink i have the WhatsApp link (e.g., whatsapp://send?phone=+40700000000), how can I insert this variable into a button? I want it to be a button, not just a text link.
I tried with a formula like: entity\attribute('cWalink'), but it doesn’t work.
Thank you!

Hello! I'd like to use your extensions. I have a task: one field on a contractor's card contains text that I need to place as a button label.
Is there a way to do this?
I need the button to say, for example, "RegNum: 23" on one card, and when clicked, it opens the link stored there. In another card, I want it to say "RegNum: 29," and so on.
In other words, I want the button to function simply as an HTML link, with visible text and a URL that isn't displayed.

I think I figured it out. This can be done using the "TEXT" field type. Using Markdown [LabelText](my-url)

Hello, does not look like a hard feature to develop, I can add this in the next version.

I’ve been using your extension a lot and I’m missing one feature.

It would be great if your button could copy its own content to the clipboard.

For example, I could feed it with a URL or any text, and by clicking the button it would copy that content directly to the clipboard.

According to the documentation portal users are now allowed to run manual workflows.

I believe that you could achieve this by creating a custom endpoint to bypass this limitation or create a feature request in the forum.

[abidoss]

Yes, the workflow is manual. It allows modifying the status of a record created by the same portal user

[Kharg]

Is the Workflow a manual one? What permission did you set for it?

What does your Workflow look like and who triggers it?

[abidoss]

I am unable to execute the action from a portal user.

It actually just needed this code for link-button.js in actionQuickCreate() and it started working: let entity=model.entityType;
attributes[entity.toLowerCase() + 'Id'] = model.id;

Hello,
I am glad you like the extension.
The “Quick create” feature is an experiment, it only relates to a few entities and only if the field is of type parent I think.

In the future I plan to improve this feature with more customizable options.

[rouhu]

Fantastic extension. Thanks for the creator.
One issue, I noticed that the mode "Quick Create" does not link the new record to the parent record. Is this so by design or is there some specific value needed for the URL ?
Using Espo v9.1.3 and with custom modules.

Sorry. Was trying with the older version. Working fine with Link Button 2.0.0.

[Kharg]

Kharg The link button is not compatible with the latest version. Any upgrade planned?

Hey Reginald, what's the issue with version 9.1.5? Could you please provide some more details?
