I'm trying to access entities (Contacts) in a HTML WebResource inside an Account formular in Microsoft Dynamics. However I cannot figure out how to get the record GUID (accountId) from the PageContext. It tells me the entityId is undefined.
I'm trying to replace this deprechated code line:
const accountId = parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
I've been trying to use
const pageContext = window.parent.Xrm.Utility.getPageContext();
but the attributes are almost all null or undefined including the entityId. All it tells me is that I'm in an account record. See image. https://imgur.com/a/oeA1SOz
Thanks for any help
Yes is possible, you were close in your second attempt.
This will return the id:
var id = parent.Xrm.Utility.getPageContext().input.entityId.replace("{", '').replace("}", '');
From Microsoft docs:
Pass parameters to HTML web resources

I am stuck on this and the other posts I have read on here are not useful. So I've reached a point where i need to ask for help after many hours on not resolving what I feel should be a simple task. I program in Swift usually and really know little about html or javasript.
I am building a simple webpage to log-in to Firebase and a second linked page to upload data to a database. Both work fine. The problem is getting the uploaded data to link to the uid of the current user.
So I am logged into an existing user with it's own uid. How do I then upload the data to the current user did in the database? Should be simple but I am just not getting it :-(
Code for uploading data is as follows (note I have tried using both set and push):
// Generate a reference to a new location and add some data using push()
var postsRef = ref.child("users");
var newPostRef = postsRef.push({
// var newPostRef = postsRef.set({
name: _name,
property: _property,
email: _email,
phone: _phone,
Any help, or better still a working simple example would be useful. I have read the docs on Firebase, so please don't direct me there :-)
Many thanks in anticipation
It is a best practice to create a new database node using the UID generated by the account creation as the path after /users.
Right now, when you push data into /users, Firebase creates a uid for that particular array item that does not correspond to the UID of the user.
If you use set, you need to specify the path you will set which should include the long UI: /users/longGUIDhere
You can get the user id with something like this (from Firebase docs):
var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
var name, email, photoUrl, uid;
if (user != null) {
name = user.displayName;
email = user.email;
photoUrl = user.photoURL;
uid = user.uid; // The user's ID, unique to the Firebase project. Do NOT use
// this value to authenticate with your backend server, if
// you have one. Use User.getToken() instead.
}
And then you shouuld use uid to populate the path like below to save their info:
function writeUserData(userId, name, email, imageUrl) {
firebase.database().ref('users/' + userId).set({
username: name,
email: email,
profile_picture : imageUrl
});
}
I know you asked not to be referred to the Firebase docs, but it also looks like you are using an older version of the SDK, so that could be part the issue as well. I recommend taking a look at these two page, since that is where I pulled these verbatim examples:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/read-and-write
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users
var postsRef = ref.child("users/current user id or json key");
this will help you to update the details of current user.
Today I wanted to greet the user in my app by name, but I did not manage to get it.
I found System.User, but lacking some examples I did not manage to get the info I needed. I saw no possibility to get the current user (id) to call User.GetFromId().
Can you guide me into the right direction? Have I been on the wrong path?
Okay, So first things first, getting access to a user's personal information is a privilege you have to request, so in your store app's Package.appxmanifest, you'll need to enable the User Account Information capability in the Capabilities tab.
Next, you'll want to be using the Windows.System.User class, not the System.User (System.User isn't available to Windows store apps, which you appear to be discussing given the tags you provided for your question)
Third, you'll want to request personal information like this.
IReadOnlyList<User> users = await User.FindAllAsync(UserType.LocalUser, UserAuthenticationStatus.LocallyAuthenticated);
User user = users.FirstOrDefault();
if (user != null)
{
String[] desiredProperties = new String[]
{
KnownUserProperties.FirstName,
KnownUserProperties.LastName,
KnownUserProperties.ProviderName,
KnownUserProperties.AccountName,
KnownUserProperties.GuestHost,
KnownUserProperties.PrincipalName,
KnownUserProperties.DomainName,
KnownUserProperties.SessionInitiationProtocolUri,
};
IPropertySet values = await user.GetPropertiesAsync(desiredProperties);
foreach (String property in desiredProperties)
{
string result;
result = property + ": " + values[property] + "\n";
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
}
When you call GetPropertiesAsync, your user will get a permission prompt from the system asking them if they want to give you access to that. If they answer 'No', you'll get an empty user object (but you'll still get a unique token you can use to distinguish that user if they use the app again).
If they answer yes, you'll be able to get access to the properties below, and various others.
See the UserInfo Sample Microsoft provided for more examples.
I am trying to create a SearchFolder using the EWS API (managed or web service directly). I noticed that I if I create a SearchFilter.ContainsSubstring on the ItemSchema.Body, I do not get any conversations from it.
here is how I create my folder:
var folder = new SearchFolder(service)
{
DisplayName = topic
};
var searchParameters = folder.SearchParameters;
searchParameters.SearchFilter = new SearchFilter.ContainsSubstring(ItemSchema.Body, topic, ContainmentMode.Substring, ComparisonMode.IgnoreCaseAndNonSpacingCharacters);
searchParameters.RootFolderIds.Add(WellKnownFolderName.Root);
searchParameters.Traversal = SearchFolderTraversal.Deep;
folder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.SearchFolders);
Later, I try to get the conversations from this folder:
service.FindConversation(conversationView, folder.Id);
And this returns 0 conversations.
I made sure by sending two messages to my email account, the first with a special term only in the subject, and the second with the same term in the body. If I create a SearchFolder with a filter on the ItemSchema.Subject, I get the first conversation, but using the SearchFolder I created above, I do not get the expected result.
Are there some restrictions regarding the ContainsSubstring SearchFilter? I tried using NormalizedBody or TextBody, but then I got errors in the folder creation process. Is there anything else I am missing?
Doing a search filter on the body will likely be problematic. This goes back to how potentially large properties like Body are handled in contents tables. A query string search would likely work better, but you can't use a query string to create a search folder.
I am wondering how can I do the following about MS CRM 4.0:
I want to know for a campaign if a contact from a specific marketing list has not replied yet.
The field custom in the campaign response form is a partyfield. CRM doesn’t allow a PartyList field to be queried using a QueryExpression
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Katya
You cannot retrieve activityparty records directly, but you can use them in LinkEntities:
private bool contactHasResponded(Guid idCampaign, Guid idContact)
{
QueryExpression qryCampaignResponses = new QueryExpression("campaignresponse");
qryCampaignResponses.ColumnSet = new AllColumns();
qryCampaignResponses.Criteria = new FilterExpression();
qryCampaignResponses.Criteria.AddCondition("regardingobjectid", ConditionOperator.Equal, idCampaign);
LinkEntity leContact = new LinkEntity("campaignresponse", "activityparty", "activityid", "activityid", JoinOperator.Inner);
leContact.LinkCriteria = new FilterExpression();
leContact.LinkCriteria.AddCondition("partyid", ConditionOperator.Equal, idContact);
qryCampaignResponses.LinkEntities.Add(leContact);
List<gcCampaignresponse> lstCampaignResponses = gcCampaignresponse.RetrieveMultiple(m_svcCrm, qryCampaignResponses);
return (lstCampaignResponses.Count > 0);
}
This will tell you whether there's a campaign response for a given campaign and contact. (I use entity classes generated by Stunnware Tools, so the RetrieveMultiple call looks a little different, but I think you get my point).
If you turn this QueryExpression/LinkEntity construct upside down, you can also get all contacts that have responded to a given campaign (you can also restrict that to contacts in a certain marketing list through a second LinkEntity).
The only thing that's not possible directly with a single query is the "negative" check you are looking for, so you'll have to take this result and do an "outer join" against your marketing list to get the contacts that have not responded.
I need to retrieve calendar information by invoking the Exchange Web Service in BPOS. I'm using a CalendarView with a PropertySet to retrieve as little data as possible. However, property sets seems to be limited. I need the EmailAddress of the one who made the calendar appointment so I thought I could use the AppointmentSchema.Organizer in the PropertySet.
When fetching a whole appointment I can get the e-mail through appt.Organizer.EmailAddress. But with the code below the Organizer.EmailAddress is always null. I've enabled the trace and checked it and only the Organizer.Name property is sent, nothing else. Does anyone have a solution on how to get the EmailAddress when using a PropertySet?
CalendarView view = new CalendarView(dtFrom, dtTo);
view.PropertySet = new PropertySet(ItemSchema.Subject);
view.PropertySet.Add(ItemSchema.Id);
view.PropertySet.Add(AppointmentSchema.Start);
view.PropertySet.Add(AppointmentSchema.End);
view.PropertySet.Add(AppointmentSchema.Organizer); // This should contain EmailAddress but it doesn't
Mailbox mailbox = new Mailbox("myemail#test.ab");
FolderId id = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, mailbox);
CalendarFolder folder = CalendarFolder.Bind(service, id);
FindItemsResults<Appointment> findResults = folder.FindAppointments(view);
This should work (does for me):
service.FindAppointments(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, new CalendarView(start, end)).Where(s => DateTime.Now < s.Start);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(appointments, PropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
As best as I have been able to figure out EWS is a little buggy when it comes to populating the full EmailAddress details both in Appointments for Organizer and for other things like "EmailMessage.From". When you do a query for multiple items, you don't get the EmailAddress properties being fully populated. E.g. using APIs like:
Folder.FindItems
ExchangeService.FindAppointments
I find that only the display name in the EmailAddress fields gets populated.
To get the EmailAddress fully populated I find I need to load/bind to the specific item and specify the relevant EmailAddress property, e.g. AppointmentSchema.Organizer in your case. So although you specify exactly the same property to load, you are loading using a single item call rather than a bulk query. E.g. using:
ServiceObject.Load
Which is available for both Appointment and EmailMessage as they both derive off ServiceObject. Using Item.Bind with the appropriate property set defined should also work.
As an aside I figured this out looking at the code for EwsEditor which is mentioned here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/webdav_101/archive/2009/11/10/ews-has-more-happy-now-ews-managed-api-and-ewseditor.aspx
The usability of EwsEditor is fairly sucky, and the code takes some trawling to figure out, but at least it does show examples of exercising many of the APIs.
service.FindAppointments(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, new CalendarView(start, end)).Where(s => DateTime.Now < s.Start);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(appointments, PropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
It worked for me.
