I have an entity that has a URL as one of the fields. The Url points to a PDF document on the web. I want to display that PDF when the form opens, as part of the form. Something like this:
2. Associate that script with the OnLoad event of the form.
Thats it - now if you have a field called fcbt_documentlocation and it contains a valid url to a PDF, the form will open with the pdf displayed.
Note that the checking for null is essential - because it will always be null when inserting a row!
So the DocumentLocationfield points to a pdf. I want the PDF to be displayed, as shown below, when the update form is opened. Here's how:
1. Create a web resource for the solution, as follows:
<html><head>
<title>HTML Web Resource</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head><body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var objectExists=parent.window.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('fcbt_documentlocation');
if(objectExists != null)
{
var fileName = parent.window.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('fcbt_documentlocation').getValue();
document.write("Loading pdf from " + fileName);
document.location.href=fileName;
}
</script>
</body></html>
<title>HTML Web Resource</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head><body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var objectExists=parent.window.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('fcbt_documentlocation');
if(objectExists != null)
{
var fileName = parent.window.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('fcbt_documentlocation').getValue();
document.write("Loading pdf from " + fileName);
document.location.href=fileName;
}
</script>
</body></html>
