Extension: Link Button

[Kharg]

Hello,

It’s not possible to access the modal of another instance.

You can only use the button to open a new window/popup in this case or you can open the URL content inside an Espo Modal but it will be shown like a popup inside a modal.

I’d suggest you to try the extension and see if it fits your use case

Hi Kharg

It great feature for us. We have 2 instance of Espocrm - CRM and DMS(Document Management). In CRM in a Case item, i want to provide a button to link a Bill Record item in DMS so that when the user click this button they should be able to see that bill record in DMS. Can this be done, especially with 2 different instances of Espocrm in the same browser? Can this field be shown in list view as well?

Thank you for your work. It is a nice and versatile extension.

Version 2.0.0 is finally here! I tried to cover all the most requested features

Changelog:

• ES6 classes and syntax
• Confirmation Dialog for Workflows
• Show "Run Espo Workflow" option only if Advanced Pack is installed
• Now the "Run Espo Workflow" option will check if the workflow is a manual one.
• Added an option to hide the original workflow action button/dropdown in the detail view.
• Popup sizes can now be specified in the field settings

Maybe you could try to edit the extension and add a execute javascript option? But this would be a security risk probably.

Hello,

Yes 1.6.0 has that feature. But it’s still not perfect.

I have a question about your extension link button

I know how to add a button to the list
but I wanted to ask if it is possible to add a button that will quick create modal a record related to another module?

for example on Account list I want add button which can quick create related record Contact




same function as click create contact inside account detail




is that possible?

Hello Kharg, I would like to know if it’s possible to link the functionality of my custom button, which opens a modal, to the button from this extension so that it opens the same modal mine.

[Kharg]

It could maybe take the record name or the linked record name

[ChrisSka83]

This is just a thought to optimize it visually.

I work with sequential numbers for each entity.

Example:
A request has the number AN-1234.
An event is planned from this, this is named EX-1234 and a button is to be created from this, which is linked to this event.
You could give the button the name “to event”, but somehow that looks stupid. So my question was whether the button could then take the name of the event.

Example of the button:
to the event -> EX-1234

I think that for this I should change the field type to something else such as an array or make it so you can use a varchar field as label and you select which varchar will act as a label, but this will just lead to useless fields being created.

Why would you need a label that can be defined using formula? Wouldn’t dynamic logic with different buttons work?

I have an idea buzzing around in my head.
Could the label text also be passed by formula?

It should run the BPMN

[Kharg]

Should it open the modal to select the BPMN to run or should it run a specific BPMN?

Hi Kharg, any chance to implement BPMN workflows additionally to the normal workflows?
