pass variables to home page component

hello,

 

is there anyway to pass variables to a home page component from data on the usr record? or from a url? i'm have an iframe on a home page component that displays an s control that displays a calendar for a certain group, and based on which group it needs a different id in the url for the iframe to render the proper data. 

 

thank you.

Hi,

 

You cannot pass variables. But What you can do is, using javascript u can query the desured values from the user record.

 

Find the sample code below. You can use this in your page component.

 

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript src="/soap/ajax/28.0/connection.js"></SCRIPT>

 

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>

function getProfileId(){

    sforce.connection.sessionId = window.ApiUtils.getSessionId();

    sforce.connection.query(

                            "SELECT ProfileId FROM User WHERE Id = '" + window.UserContext.userId + "'",

                            {

                            onSuccess:

                                function(result){

                                    document.getElementById('lblProfileId').innerHTML = result.records.ProfileId;

                                    var profId= result.records.ProfileId;

                                    alert('Profile Id: ' + profId);

                                },

                            onFailure:

                                function(){ 

                                    document.getElementById('lblProfileId').innerHTML = '#ERROR'; 

                                } 

                            } 

                            ); 

} 

 

getProfileId(); 

</SCRIPT>
