CTI integration with SLX Web 8

[Hartog Elands]

The Web Client needs to open a new explorer tab and do something like this:

<a href="callto://+49 3727 9999/">+49 3727 9999</a>

The phone number should be taken from the MainPhone.

Anyone ever tried this?

Thanks,

Several ways to do it:

  The easiest is probalby to just do it via Javascript. The sample function below would do it, just pass it a valid phone number

function openDialWindow(phone)
{
  w=window.open('','wnd');
  w.document.body.innerHTML = "<a href='callto://" + phone + "/'>" + phone + "</a>";
}

Thanks,

I've tried this before and I knew the best solution was using javascript. The only part I am missing is how to get the MainPhone text into my Javascript. When I use an alert(phone); nothing will be displayed.

Thanks again,

phone is a variable I have used. You have to populate it.

For instance, if you have the Phone in a Text box with an ID of "txtPhone", you could do something like:

var phone = document.getElementById('txtPhone').value;

alert(phone);  //Should be populated

Or, using JQuery:

var phone = $('#txtPhone').text();

alert(phone);

Or, you could do it server side by building Javascript into a String and then registering it:

something like:

PAGE_ONLOAD EVENT (Server side)

.....

  IAccount acct = BindingSource.Current as IAccount;

  string jstr = "var phone = '" + acct.MainPhone + "';";

RegisterClientScript jstr    //  This isn't the syntax, just an example of how/what to do server side to set the phone into a variable.

.....

Thanks Raul,

I will try this tomorrow. This was exactly the missing part I was looking for

Much appreciated!

It's not working. No idea why.

I've got a button on the AccountDetails form and the javascript looks like this:

I've tried this:

var phone1 = document.getElementById('MainPhone').value;

alert(phone1);

nothing happens

And this:

var phone1 = $('#MainPhone').text();

alert(phone1);

Result: empty

Where do I go wrong?

Okay, I've found the solution. After installing Firebug I was able to trace the correct name for MainPhone. One of the above 2 solutions returned the correct phone number.

Thanks for your help
