!! Add Icons and Colors to your Custom Action Buttons

You can change the appearance of your Custom Actions buttons by adding CSS specific to those buttons. The way this works is by tagging your button with a new class, and then adding CSS for that class. Here're how:

-> '''Tag your button with a class.''' Revisit the script when you've described your custom action button: that's the script "Load Source Settings at Startup...". To add a CSS class to your button, simply add an additional parameter after the name of your button's script. So the buttons might look like this:

--> List ( \\
"View Event Record, Go To Event Record From WebViewer, SomeClassName"; \\
"Sample Custom Action, Custom Action Example, AnotherClassName" ; \\
"" \\
)

-> Note that you can tag a button with more than one class by separating your class names with a space.

-> '''Apply some CSS to that class.''' Once you have a class name for your button. add some new lines to DayBack's CSS to style the button. If you've never edited the CSS before, you'll find instructions [[Editing Themes | here]]. Here is some sample CSS to make a button blue and give it a check icon:

--> .SomeClassName .btn { \\
    background-color: blue; \\
} \\
.SomeClassName .btn:hover { \\
    background-color: gray; \\
} \\
.SomeClassName .btn:active { \\
    background-color: black; \\
} \\
.SomeClassName .btn::before { \\
    content: "\f00c"; \\
    font-family: FontAwesome; \\
    padding-right: 5px; \\
}

-> '''Icons.''' You can specify icons in CSS by selecting something from the FontAwesome icon set as you can see in the .btn::before example above where we chose the icon "\f00c". To find an icon, visit %newwin% [[https://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/ | https://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/]] and select an icon (DayBack has access to *most* of these). You'll see the unicode for each icon to the right of it like "[". To use that icon in CSS, add a leading slash and just take the 4 digits starting with the "f" in every case. So in this case it would be "\f2bc".

!! Using Event Data Tokens with Google Calendar

Since there is no field mapping required for Google Calendar sources (DayBack knows how to find the data it need in Google) you'll use DayBack's own name for each data object when writing custom actions for your Google events. Here are the names of each of the properties you can reference in a custom action for a Google Calendar event:

        --> eventID \\
        allDay \\
        start \\
        end \\
        title \\
        titleEdit: 'titleEdit',
        description: 'description',

!! What Kind of Javascript Can I Use?

Most everything. We don't allow access to the global window object but all built in functions for window can still be called directly. For example: open(), close(), alert(), location.href, can all be used as long as you don't use them in the context of window. In other words use location.href instead of window.location.href.

DayBack also includes a few popular libraries to make coding easier. jQuery, BootStrap, and moment.js are all included. So anything you can do in one of those libraries can be used in a custom action.

Keep in mind when writing Javascript for custom actions that the code is executed when loaded (it's loaded when the button to run the action is clicked). So things like onload or jQuery $.ready() aren't necessary here.

!! Custom Action Examples

Use the examples below as the starting point for your own actions.

You can create your own custom actions in "Administrator Settings" under the "Settings" tab in the calendar sidebar. In administrator settings navigate to the calendar source and then select the source you would like to add the custom actions for. Scroll down to the bottom of the source settings and you will see a section labeled "Custom Actions".

Click "Add New Custom Action" to create a new action. Custom actions may contain a URL or Javascript code. For URL
's you have the ability to specify to open the URL in a new window.

!! Using Event Data Tokens

DayBack gives you the ability to specify data tokens that will be replaced by event data at the time the custom action is run. This is useful for passing event data to other services for example.

All data tokens are wrapped in double brackets with the mapped field name [[DataToken]]. For example if you wanted to reference the ID field as it is mapped by default it would look like this [[id]]. Data tokens use the names that you assigned when you mapped your fields in the source settings (your field names). The only exception here is we also utilize a token called "allDay". This is a boolean that signifies an all day event or not.

An example URL using data tokens might look like:
https://www.somewebsite.com?id=[[id]]&date=[[DateStart]]

If you are using data tokens in Javascript code we recommend wrapping the token in quotes so if the value is empty it doesn
't throw an error in your javascript code. All data tokens are strings this way which makes coding more consistent.

An example here might be:
var eventID = "[[id]]";
alert(eventID);

Even with boolean values like allDay the preferred method here is to use a string for example:
var isAllDay = "[[allDay]]" === "true"; //Evaluates to a boolean

You'll define your action buttons by editing the script "Load Source Settings at Startup...". For each source in that script you'll see a variable called "$sc_CustomEventActions". The definition of that variable declares the names of your action buttons and the names of the scripts they should run.

This takes the form "Button Name<comma> Script Name". Here is the $sc_CustomEventActions definition for the popover shown above:

-> List ( \\
"View Event Record, Go To Event Record From WebViewer"; \\
"Sample Custom Action, Custom Action Example" ; \\
"" \\
)

This means that DayBack will draw an action button named "View Event Record" and when it's clicked it will call the FileMaker script named "Go To Event Record From WebViewer". The third item intentionally left blank is a "Watch For Event Changes" option. This can be set to True or False. In most cases this is unnecessary and will complicate your scripts so we recommend to leave the third parameter blank. An explanation of this feature is lower in this article.

Note that you can change the text at the top of the drawer ("Call your own scripts") to anything you'd like by adjusting the calendar's [[translation]] file.

!! Tips for Writing Your Action Scripts

Take a look at our example script "Go To Event Record From WebViewer". That shows you the variables you'll have access to.

Notice also how you can call the script "Find Event by ID (ID)" to jump to your event by passing in the variable $eventID as a script parameter.

The scripts you call with custom actions will have access to a few local variables you can use to find events and manipulate them. These variables will already be declared when your script starts to run:

-> '''$start''': the starting timestamp of the event you clicked on. For example "10/28/2014 12:15:00"

-> '''$source''': the number of the [[multiple sources | source]] from the event you clicked on. For example, if the event was mapped on the "Source No 1" layout the $source would be "1".

-> '''$eventID''': the primary key (unique id, often a serial number) or the event your clicked on. This is the from the field specified by "id" in the calc "DBk_WebViewerSource".

-> '''$end''': the ending timestamp of the event you clicked on. For example "10/28/2014 12:15:00"

-> '''$allDay''': true or false if the event is an all-day event (an event with no start time).

-> Please note that the $start and $end parameters will be in whichever date format you are using in the calendar. If you have left the date format settings in their default state this should be your local date format.

!! Watch For Event Changes
-> This is the third option when creating a custom action in the "Load Calendar Settings" script. Generally this will be left blank. If this is set to True it will signal the WebViewer to pass back a $queryID parameter to your custom action script. This way each process gets it's own ID. This was also intended to be used for signaling when an event might be updated but we have better methods for that now. Specifically you can look at the "Close Event Window & Refresh Calendar" for updating an event in the WebViewer once it has been edited in a FileMaker record.
