Hi there,
I used to have a JScript in CRM 2011 which used to change the text inside a lookup to show another field of the related entity in question.
For example, suppose I have a lookup for a contact in a given entity. Normally the lookup would show the contact's full name. With this script, I could show the contact's nickname in the lookup instead.
The objective of such script is to be able to localise records based on the language pack the user is running. I used to use this script to localise country names, from a country entity.
I CRM 2011 I used to do this with a SOAP call, which used to work without any issues. However, in CRM 2013 this no longer seems to work as expected. I understand from reading the JScript that SOAP as we used to do in CRM 2011 is no longer supported, so we
must update it. Thing is, I can't relate to the SDK examples as I find them overly complex when comparing to my simple script, which is as follows:
function submitCountryName(fieldName) {Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName).setSubmitMode("always");}
function fetchCountryName(fieldName) {
Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName).setSubmitMode("never");
var currentUserLcid = Xrm.Page.context.getUserLcid();
var entityName="pmdci_country";
var lookupObject = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);
var lookupid;
var localisedName;
if (lookupObject != null) {
var lookUpObjectValue = lookupObject.getValue();
if ((lookUpObjectValue != null)) {
lookupid = lookUpObjectValue[0].id;
var authenticationHeader = GenerateAuthenticationHeader();
// Prepare the SOAP message.
var xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>"+
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'"+
" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'"+
" xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>"+
authenticationHeader+
"<soap:Body>"+
"<Retrieve xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices'>"+
"<entityName>pmdci_country</entityName>"+
"<id>"+lookupid +"</id>"+
"<columnSet xmlns:q1='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2006/Query' xsi:type='q1:ColumnSet'>"+
"<q1:Attributes>"+
"<q1:Attribute>pmdci_name_"+currentUserLcid+"</q1:Attribute>"+
"</q1:Attributes>"+
"</columnSet>"+
"</Retrieve>"+
"</soap:Body>"+
"</soap:Envelope>";
// Prepare the xmlHttpObject and send the request.
var xHReq = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
xHReq.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices/Retrieve");
xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", xml.length);
xHReq.send(xml);
// Capture the result.
var resultXml = xHReq.responseXML;
// Check for errors.
var errorCount = resultXml.selectNodes('//error').length;
if (errorCount != 0)
{
var msg = resultXml.selectSingleNode('//description').nodeTypedValue;
alert(msg);
}
// Display the retrieved value.
else {
var errorCount = resultXml.selectNodes("//q1:pmdci_name_"+currentUserLcid).length;
if (errorCount != 0) {
localizedName = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//q1:pmdci_name_"+currentUserLcid).nodeTypedValue;
var newLookupValue = new Array();
newLookupValue[0] = new Object();
newLookupValue[0].id = lookupid;
newLookupValue[0].name = localizedName;
newLookupValue[0].entityType = "pmdci_country";
Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName).setValue(newLookupValue);
}}
}
}
}
Could someone please advise? Is that something I can do similarly to this? Perhaps an update to soap:Envelope xmlns:soap, Retrieve
and SetRequestHeader?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
P.
