Hi,

I am new to using the Bi4ce modules and spent hours trying to get it work. Maybe I have overseen something ....

I am trying to do something simple I thought. I have two tabs I navigate back and forth. The first contains a link to the second and the second should have a toolbar wiht a back button. I thought I can use the link action on the button and simply but in [URLREFERRER] and it would navigate back to the first tab where it came from. I had put in other system values like [PORTALPATH] which work fine, so there has to be a replacement done somehow. However I can´t get this working.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Am I trying something that´s not working at all? I am not using the breadcrumb from bi4ce.

Thx,
Andy

Toolbar does not have all of the system variables available to it the way that ListX does. Fortunately, Javascript provides exactly what you need. Change your Toolbar Button to an Action Type of Script, and use this script:
if ( document.referrer != '') { document.location = document.referrer; } else if ( history.length > 0 ) { history.back(); }

document.referrer works great if you arrived at this page via a postback. history.back() is as though the user clicked the Back button in their browser.

Thank your for the response. I accidentially stepped upon that type of solution by myself.

As a beginner it is still a mistery to me where I can use Javascript and or where ACTION tags etc. are available and where I cannot use them at all. i.e. setting a session variable within a toolbar button "script", is this going to work at all?

Is there a thumb rule (other than trial and error) that helps a List-X novice?

Thx, Andy
