I have a report in RS2008 (NOT R2) where I need one of the columns to link to a different site. I can accomplish this by going to Textbox Properties -> Action -> Hyperlink -> Go To URL -> Insert URL formula.
However, this URL by default consumes the parent window. There is a solution whereby you can insert some JavaScript (ex. JavaScript:void(window.open('[URL]','_blank')) into the URL formula and that also works like a charm.
The problem with that is that if the user then subscribes to the report, they get it via email. Since we use a desktop mail client (Outlook), JavaScript does not work!!!
So, it would be really nice if there was a way I could inject HTML in the cell so that the link works in browsers and desktop mail clients.
Any help?
In typing my question I found the answer, hurrah for ask the duck!

Hope this helps the next poor sap that is using RS2008...

I want an spfx made webpart that I've made be able to send an email (I'm using IEmailProperties at the moment) which provides a link to a modal form?
For example:
User clicks button in webpart, form loads.
User fills out form and submits it to SP list.
Form sends email on submission. Email has a link to the actual item created, so when the user clicks the provided email link, it opens up the modal form.
I would presume that the user would HAVE to be sent to the SP page where the webpart is unconditionally, but would it be possible to open up the modal corresponding to the SP list item?
Is this feature available in SharePoint framework, because if it isn't, compared to something like InfoPath 2013 or PowerApps it's quite a limitation.
I've researched this with several shallow Google searches and on gitHub for any premade stuff, but alas there is nothing that I've spotted.
I've been told IT IS possible:
"Yeah, they’d have to visit the page. Email clients don’t do JavaScript so you can’t really do interactive stuff there. If you want to take them directly to a page that then displays a modal, that’s plenty possible though. (e.g. display the modal based on if the URL contains a certain string)"
But wouldn't know how to do the above, can anyone start me on the right path?
Regards,

In the email, pass a query string containing the item ID/list ID etc of the item, then have the webpart read the See: How can I get query string values in JavaScript? If your values exist. If they do exist, then open the modal using some kind of framework like bootstrap or fluent UI. You can write your own form using PnPjs or use an iframe potentially to display the OOTB edit form.
Additionally, you can link to any page in SharePoint provided you use an extension instead of a webpart to host the modal. You can install extensions tenant wide, and have it listen for the query string.
I am trying to use some webviewers on Filemaker WebDirect. I would like to call a script in filemaker from a button on the webviewer. It works great in pro but I'm not sure of the url protocal I need to use in web direct. What is the format I should use when trying to call a filemaker script from a webviewer in webdirect?
You'll need to test this out because I haven't tested it, but I believe that when you use a webviewer in a WebDirect solution the webviewer actually displays an iframe tag and the contents of the webviewer works like any other iframe on a webpage, i.e. it's no longer part of the WebDirect application.
You can check it out in the browser interface of your WebDirect solution by right-clicking on the webviewer and selecting "inspect element". That should open up the browser's developer tools and show you the webviewer's element in the overall HTML structure. The webviewer should be an iframe.
All of that said, if it does treat the content of the webviewer as an iframe and therefore the content of the iframe is outside of your WebDirect solution, it means that whatever communication you have from the webviewer content would need to communicate externally with your FileMaker Solution via XML custom web publishing. It would be like standing inside of your house, reaching out of a window, unlocking your front door, and grabbing something you want.
This means you would need:
Web Publishing turned on on your FileMaker Server
A user with the xml extended privileges enabled
An external IP address that you can access your FileMaker Server by
Then you could (again, theoretically I have not tried doing this) use a link that contains a url with the XML custom web publishing syntax to perform the script. You can find a description of the syntax in the FileMaker Server documentation PDF fms13_cwp_xml.pdf. I can't find a good link to the syntax online at the moment, but you could search around for it. The basic syntax outlined in the PDF is:
<scheme>://<host>[:<port>]/fmi/xml/<xml_grammar>.xml[?<query string>]
and calling a script would look like:
http://myfmsdomainname.com/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-script=theScriptIwantToFire
My url structure could be off.
Anyway, it sounds like it could be a pain in the ass, but it may be a solution! Good luck!
This is tricky because you will have to communicate with the Webdirect client via FMServer!
Use the FMServer PHP interface for your webpage within the webviewer to communicate to the server. Your web page can either:
1) Directly set a value in the server that your client will monitor
2) If it has to call a script then call a script on the server, your client will still have to monitor a value. e.g. use the php API on your webpage. Setup your database connection (see the API docs in your FMServer folder for an example), then call:
$newperformscript =& $fm->newPerformScriptCommand($layoutName, 'scriptname',$scriptParameters);
$result = $newPerformScript->execute();
Your Webdirect Client will then need to monitor for that change. While Webdirect is on the layout with the webviewer, your client could use the filemaker script step to actively monitor for a change in value via a timer:
Install OnTimer [Interval:secs]
When your client detects that change that you made then perform your action.
Note: You will have to pass an ID of the client to the webviewer, and your webviewer will have to pass that ID back to the server, and your client will have to monitor for that ID so that all clients don't respond to the change. You can pass whichever client ID you choose to use to the webviewer via the URL using GET.
If your server is local then the change will be detected in one second if that is what your Install OnTimer timer is set to.
What you are doing is far from ideal with Filemaker... I suggest that you look into a different UI paradigm if possible.
Is there a way to send some a url (or other thing) to a site such that data in a form is already filled out? This is not to my own site that I control.
For example, I want to send a link to some airline flights and want to have the destination and date be automatically filled out when the link is opened.
I'm guessing not, but have gotten lucky here before :) Maybe with some kind of program or add-on or??
If its written with GET method so just try to play with the site and just put the url with all the args you found.
If it is POST, so you need to create an add-on or pretend to a browser, search the net for this kind of solution.
No, that's not possible, if the remote site is not ready for that.
I make some requests to a site and i want to see, what kind of variables has been sent to the server..
May be its possible with fiddler but i can't figure it out, how to do it..
You can do this in Fiddler using the following steps.
Locate the request in fiddler that relates to the post - you should be able to see the URL you expect in the URL column.
Select that line and the detailed view will open. There is a WebForms tab (inside "Inspectors") that displays the POST data in a neat table. You can also see it in the Raw tab, but it isn't nicely formatted like the WebForms tab.
I have made a screenshot to help you:
POST data can be seen in the Inspectors -> Raw window which will display the whole request along with POST data and headers.
EDIT: Yep... The Inspectors -> WebForms dialog would be another way however I usually don't make much use of it... Don't know why.
It works for me. Just click on the request in the Web Sessions pane, Then click WebForms tab within the Inspectors tab on the right.
I ran into this same problem but the answers here did not help me.
WebForms does not display json posted data. I figured out for posted json data, you need to check the Textview tab.
To summarise:
Inspectors->WebForms: will show you classic html form posted values.
Inspectors->Textview: will show you json and text posted values.
My request is simple.
I want to put a form (a text field let's say) on a Sharepoint page, with a submit button.
When i submit, I want the URL to be reposted with the s="textfromtextfield".
Say i was on a url http://site/site.aspx?p=x clicking submit will take me to:
http://site/site.aspx?p=x&s="textfromtextfield"
If this button "is completely yours" and not one of sharepoint controls you might try writing the following code on the button click handling method on the server side.
Page.Response.Redirect(newUrl, true);
More than likely you want to open the page in SharePoint Designer and add/play with form actions. Check this page for details (rather than attempt to communicate it step by step):

FYI. SharePoint Designer is now free for download from Microsoft.
If you have never edited a form in SharePoint Designer, this may help:
