CRM Portals OnChange Event For DateTime

Occasionally when working with CRM Portals you may run into the need to get the OnChange event for a date time field.  Because of the way that CRM Portals renders date time fields this is slightly more complicated then working with text boxes, check boxes and pick lists.  During my process I ended up reaching out to Microsoft for help on this and below are the steps they provided to help me with this problem:

1) Click on the date time control
2) Press F12
3) In console type $('div.control') and hit enter (this will give you a list of div controls)
4) Locate the div control for the date time field
5) Go to the entity form or web page in CRM and add the following code snippet (replace the 2 with the number your div control is located at):

1:      $(document).ready(function ()  
2:      {  
3:        var dpcontrol = $('div.control')[2];  
4:        $(dpcontrol).on("dp.change", function (e)   
5:        {  
6:           alert("On change Event Triggered");  
7:           alert(e.date);  
8:        });  
9:      });

Change the 2 alerts to whatever you need to happen during the OnChange event.

    Nice. Even better would be to use:
    var dpcontrol = $("#id_of_your_field").closest("div.control");

    Great post!

    Hi
    only one issue with Datepicker is when we select the same date the event is not triggering.
    For example, if you select 16th and then selects the same date againthen the on change event is not triggering.
    Thanks

Validating User Input In CRM Portals With JavaScript

When we are setting up CRM Portals to allow customers to update their information, open cases, fill out an applications, etc. We want to make sure that we are validating their input before it is committed to CRM.  This way we ensure that our data is clean and meaningful to us and the customer. CRM Portals already has a lot validation checks built into it. But, on occasion we need to add our own.  To do this we will use JavaScript to run the validation and also to output a message to the user to tell them there is an issue they need to fix. Before we can do any JavaScript, we need to check and see if we are using JavaScript on an Entity Form or Web Page.  This is because the JavaScript, while similar, will be different.  First, we will go over the JavaScript for Entity Forms.  Then, we will go over the JavaScript for Web Pages.  Finally, we will look at the notification JavaScript. Entity Form: if (window.jQuery) { (function ($) { if ...

Dynamics Set IFrame URL - D365 v8 vs. D365 v9

While doing client work, I came across a problem with setting an IFrame URL dynamically.  The underlying issue was that the sandbox instance is on v8 of Dynamics 365 and production is on v9 of Dynamics 365.  The reason for this was because this client was setup around the time that Microsoft rolled out v9.  Anyways, JavaScript that I wrote to dynamically set the URL of the IFrame wasn't working in the v9 instance.  This was because of changes that Microsoft made to how IFrames are loaded on the form and also changes to JavaScript. Here is my v8 setup: JavaScript runs OnLoad of contact form.  This works because of how IFrames are loaded in v8.  You can also run it on either a tab change (hide / show) or OnReadyStateComplete event of the IFrame.  Depending on your setup you will need to choose which is best for you.  For me in this case it was the OnLoad event. Here is the JavaScript: function OnLoad() { //Get memberid var...

Reusable Method To Get Record By Id

I have a handful of reusable code that I use when creating plugins or external process (i.e. Azure Functions) for working with DataVerse. The first one I am providing is Getting a Record By Id: 1: private static Entity GetFullRecord(string entityName, string primaryKey, Guid recordId, IOrganizationService service) 2: { 3: using (OrganizationServiceContext context = new OrganizationServiceContext(service)) 4: { 5: return (from e in context.CreateQuery(entityName) 6: where (Guid)e[primaryKey] == recordId 7: select e).Single(); 8: } 9: } entityName = The logical name of the entity primaryKey = The primary key field for the entity. If using late binding you can create this dynamically by doing: $"{target.LogicalName}id" recordId = Guid of the record to get service = Service to interact with DataVerse
