I am trying to edit the item list view to include a button with some javascript functionality
I can test the functionality out in a Chrome Browser using a snippet and it works fine, but when I try to go through the steps to add a .js file and add it into erpnext/hooks.py it doesn’t work
I did add it as a Custom Script at first and it came up on the Items page, but not Items list.
What I have tried:
created file custom_scripts\list_items.js with below code
frappe.listview_settings[“Item”] = {
onload:function() {
$(“.page-form .flex”).append(“<button type='button' name='btnScanBarcode' id='btnScanBarcode' style='height:56px;border-width:0px;' onclick='javascript:startBarcodeScanner();'><img src='http://berrywing.com/images/barcode_2d.png' style='height: 50px; width: 50px'></button>”)
function startBarcodeScanner()
{
alert("Using client JavaScript to start scanner.");
window.location.href = 'bwstw://startscanner?field=txtField2';
}
}
}
!!— Then in the erpnext/hooks.py file I added
doctype_list_js = {
“Item”:“custom_scripts\item_list.js”
}
Also tried adding a straight javascript file to hooks.py with app_include_js and it didn’t work, when I go to the Item List source, I don’t even see a reference to the javascript file.
Any advice? I read through the hooks section, and some forum posts but I didn’t take a whole lot away, have spent 2 days trying to find a reference and testing - just trying to add a button that will open the scanning app.
