Import html template from file in serverscript

Fri, 11 Jan 2019 22:18:33 +0000

Hi,

After speak with the Efficy support, I have to use a serverscript to generate html.
This serverscript will be call in a macro with a RunScript.

I prefer not to put so many html directly in the serverscript, I find that it is not a "good practice" and make the script less readable..
Is there a way to import html from a page in server script with Efficy 10.2 ?

Example :
serverscripts/Example.js

/* function called by <%RunScript(...)%> */
function GetCustomHtmlTable() {
  var EditHandle = Request.ContextHandle,
      HtmlTemplate = "IMPORT HTML FROM HTML FILE ? like pages/grid/HtmlTemplate.htm ?"

  /* some code to get the rights values */
  var name = Database.GetFieldValue(EditHandle, 'NAME'), // in this example : 'My custom header'
      description = 'some text',
      otherData = 'otherData...'

  /* Generate html and return it */
  return ParseTemplate(HtmlTemplate, name, description, otherData);
}

/* this function replace each %s in the template by the others params value in args */
function ParseTemplate(template) {
  var args = [].slice.call(arguments, 1),
      i = 0;

  return template.replace(/%s/g, function() {
      return args[i++];
  });
}

HtmlTemplate.htm

<div class="CustomClasses">
  <div class="header">%s</div>
  <div class="body">%s</div>
  <div class="footer">%s</div>
</div>

This will return :

<div class="CustomClasses">
  <div class="header">My custom header</div>
  <div class="body">some text</div>
  <div class="footer">otherData...</div>
</div>

Change part of reference after commit on Efficy 10SP2+

Mon, 27 Nov 2017 14:32:53 +0000

Hello,

I'm trying in Efficy 10SP2+ workflow to apply the following function to modify part of a reference after commit, this reference has "cannot modify" checkbox ticked

function ModifyReference(EditHandle, Inserted){
    var DS = Database.GetMasterDataSet(EditHandle, 0);
    var reference = DS.FieldByName('REFERENCE').AsString;
    if(reference.indexOf('CI-###-') > -1){
        var d_terminate = DS.FieldByName('F_D_TERMINATION').AsString;
        var newReference= reference.replace('###', d_terminate);
        try{
            Database.DisableSecurity = true;
            Database.DisableWorkflow = true;
            Database.UpdateStringField(EditHandle, 0, "REFERENCE", newReference);
            Database.CommitChanges(EditHandle, false);          
        } finally{
            Database.DisableWorkflow = PrevWFState;
            Database.DisableSecurity = PrevSecState;
        }       

    }
}

But i'm always getting the following error, even same functionality used to work on previous versions

If i removed the checkbox tick on reference (so it can be modified), the script runs smoothly. But i;m pretty sure it was working with no problems on previous Efficy releases even with that checkbox ticked.

Please advise.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best Regards.
