Hi All,

I have a Entity List, on that i need to add a custom button beside of Create button and redirect to a link.

Please suggest. Thank you.

Hi @SunilR 

You can achieve that by adding a JavaScript code into your Web Page

First you have to define your button, in the below example I am created the variable myCustomButton and kind of copying what the create button looks like, you can always change colors, or do anything here.

Finally you need to append (to show after) or prepend (to show before) the create button:

$(document).ready(function(){

    CreateCustomButton();
});

CreateCustomButton = function(){
    var myCustomButton = '<div class="input-group pull-left"><a href="http://bing.com" class="btn btn-primary pull-right action" title="My Link">My Link</a></div>';
    $(".toolbar-actions").append(myCustomButton);
    $(".toolbar-actions").prepend(myCustomButton);
};

hope this helps

Is it possible to have "like" button in the grid and make it "count the likes" from users  ?

[OliverRodrigues]

Hi @Multiz there is no OOB function for that, at least not for regular records from OOB entities or custom entities

there are a few ways to implement this:

• create real-time workflow that will increase the "like" count, if you are sure that only the contact user from the Portal will have access to that record, you can probably increase the number just via Workflow configuration
• if multiple users will have access to like the same record, you might want to use custom c# code via Custom Workflow Activities to retrieve the last number before incrementing 
• Also if multiple users have access to it, you might consider have a log table to see who liked that record, so the logic could be a bit different here, in this case you wouldn't be able to retrieve the logged in user via workflow.. so you probably would need to use the Web API -- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/web-api-overview
• If you go for Workflow, you can add the link to the list just using configuration https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/configure/entity-lists
• to present it a bit better to user, you can replace it for icons: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/05/13/power-apps-portals-adding-icons-to-entity-list-action-butto...

What if you need to add a custom button within the grid (i.e. it shows for each record not next to the Create button at the top of the list) that when clicked, it calls a Power Automate Flow and passes the record's ID? Any ideas?

[OliverRodrigues]

Hi @yabela 

For triggering Power Automate flows you can take a look at this article: How to Trigger Power Automate Flow from Power Apps Portals (alphabold.com)

You can add links to your list in many different ways, one example you can find here: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/05/24/power-apps-portals-generate-and-download-word-document-from...

This seems to be an old thread, if you need any more info, I would recommend creating a new thread in the forum

thanks
