This is a question on how to get a hyperlink into a SharePoint table where the hyperlink has to be generated from variables containing certain parts of the link (unless there is a different or better way). My apologies if I am asking my question in an unclear or improper fashion - I am quite new to this type of integration and some of these technologies. I may have included a lot more detail than necessary.
What I am doing:
Basically what I have is a SharePoint List that contains task items (called Task Test List). This is is published to a section of the site whose link looks like this:
https://myteam.thiscompany.com/techdev/sandbox/lists/Task%20Test%20List/Task%20List2.aspx
We have created a .js file and published it to the Site Assets section. This JavaScript file also uses jQuery and a CAML query. What it does is pulls data from the Test Task List and uses it in a new task list (for testing) called SortList. This new list lives in a section called WebPart pages. The link for this site looks like this:
https://myteam.thiscompany.com/techdev/sandbox/WebPart%20Pages/Forms/AllItems.aspx
The link for the actual page (called SortList) looks like this:
https://myteam.thiscompany.com/techdev/Sandbox/WebPart%20Pages/SortList.aspx
Basically, what all this does is: using a webpart, allow us in a test segment of the SP site to take that test task list and re-sort it using drag and drop (we select any row and drag it to where we want it to be in the list and it drops right there).
The problem: On this drag and drop list (SortList), one of the columns is an Edit column. It pulls a hyperlink field from the source task list. Clicking the link allows us to edit the task item (whose data makes up the row) - it does this by using the task ID.
However that link, when clicked, is going to the webparts page, and I need it to go to the Test Task List. So for example, it goes here on click:
https://myteam.thiscompany.com/techdev/Sandbox/WebPart%20Pages/Edit
But I need it to go here:
All of this from the above link is what I think I need to change:
List=532ed23b%2D1041%2D4600%2D887f%2D58b08e1f4b9d&ID=1909&Source=https%3A%2F%2Fmyteam%2Ethiscompany%2com%2FSandbox%2FLists%2FTask%2520Test%2520List%2FTask%2520List2%2Easpx&Web=ba8a673c%2D8072%2D4a44%2Db895%2D4e1c1f962b2f
In my current URL I am pointing to “Task%20List” and the correct name should be: “Task%20Test%List”.
The GUID to use for the List is “532ed23b%2D1041%2D4600%2D887f%2D58b08e1f4b9d”
As far as I can tell, the important parameters are the list= (which will need to be hardcoded so I was thinking to add a list variable in the JS file and reference that) and the ID= (which I already have).
If that is correct, I am looking for advice on how to do that because I don't know. Or if there are other methods I would be grateful to know them.
Here is the CAML query, looking at the data from the list:
function loadPrioritizedList() {
$("#tasksUL").empty();
// TDs below have to be 3 more width than the headers
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetListItems",
webURL: myURL,
listName: targetListName,
CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Priority_x0020_Number' /><FieldRef Name='Edit_x0020_Link' /><FieldRef Name='Priority' /><FieldRef Name='Top_x0020_Item_x003f_' /><FieldRef Name='Purpose' /><FieldRef Name='Work_x002d_Task_x0020_Order' /><FieldRef Name='Work_x0020_Status' /><FieldRef Name='DueDate' /><FieldRef Name='Task_x0020_Type' /></ViewFields>",
CAMLQuery: '<Query>' +
'<OrderBy>' +
'<FieldRef Name="Priority_x0020_Number" />' +
'</OrderBy>' +
'</Query>',
CAMLRowLimit: listrowlimit,
And here is where I am using the data:
CAMLRowLimit: listrowlimit,
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
$(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function() {
var tdHtml = "<tr class='sortable_row' id=" + $(this).attr("ows_ID") + ">";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:40px;\">" + PriorityFormat($(this).attr("ows_Priority_x0020_Number")); + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:40px;\">" + ($(this).attr("ows_Edit_x0020_Link")).split(", ")[1] + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:46px;\">" + $(this).attr("ows_Priority") + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:40px;\">" + TopItem($(this).attr("ows_Top_x0020_Item_x003f_")) + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:300px;\">" + StringChk($(this).attr("ows_Purpose")) + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:125px;\">" + StringChk($(this).attr("ows_Work_x002d_Task_x0020_Order")) + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:150px;\">" + StringChk($(this).attr("ows_Work_x0020_Status")) + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:100px;\">" + FormatDate($(this).attr("ows_DueDate")) + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "<td style=\"width:75px;\">" + StringChk($(this).attr("ows_Task_x0020_Type")) + "</td>";
tdHtml = tdHtml + "</tr>";
$("#tasksUL").append(tdHtml);
The code for the link is currently:
tdHtml = tdHtml + '<td style=\"width:40px;\"><a href=\"'+($(this).attr("ows_Edit_x0020_Link")).split(", ")[1]+'\">'+ ($(this).attr("ows_Edit_x0020_Link")).split(", ")[1] +'</a></td>';
Here is what the SortList looks like:
