Dynamically get the URL to reset parameter

[FinTheHuman]

Hello,

I have a reset button for my search that I always placed on my search and report datapage. see below:

<input onclick="window.location='https://c1abc123.caspio.com/dp/55555000044441deb42123456789?cbResetParam=1'" type="button" value="Search reset" />

However it was so hassle if I re-create this in every search and report datapage I created. Then I found out that I can use "App Parameter" to use on my datapages which is good. 

My problem is how can I dynamically grab the page's URL to use on my onclick reset parameter?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @FinTheHuman,

You can try using this code for getting the current URL where the button is located:

<input class="cbSearchButton" style="background-color: #da2c2c !important;" onclick="window.location = window.location.href+'?cbResetParam=1'"
type="button" value="Reset" />

Sample URL: https://c1abv183.caspio.com/dp/482760000b3b87d609414355af13

Hello @WatashiwaJin, 

Thanks! this is helpful but there is some issue. I noticed that when I click the reset button many times, the "?cbResetParam=1" adds up in the URL:

Is there a way to only allow one "?cbResetParam=1" on the URL?

Hello @FinTheHuman,

You can add this code in order to have one "?cbResetParam=1" on the URL :

Add on the Footer:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#BUTTONIDHERE').click(function(){
var reset = $(location).attr('href').includes("cbResetParam=1");
if(reset == true){
location.reload();
} });
</script>

Then on your button add an ID that you will use on the code above (on this part: $('#BUTTONIDHERE') ):

Sample URL: https://c1abv183.caspio.com/dp/482760000b3b87d609414355af13

I hope this helps
