Out of the box in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web client, when you click an address control to view it on a map it opens Mapquest. I have no idea who actually uses Mapquest, so this isn’t ideal and opening the address in Google Maps would be a far better option. This is changing in future versions of Infor CRM, however, why wait? It’s a pretty easy change to make.
Create a new Javascript file with the following code:
require([
'dojo/_base/lang',
'dojo/dom-attr',
'dojo/aspect',
'Sage/UI/Controls/Address'
], function (lang, domAttr, aspect, Address) {
aspect.after(Address.prototype, 'startup', function() {
domAttr.set(this.clientId + '-MapQuest', 'title', 'Google Maps');
});
lang.extend(Address, {
showMap: function() {
this.createFormItems();
var values = this.getAddressValues();
var map = { 'streetaddress': 'addr1', 'addr2': 'addr2', 'city': 'city', 'state': 'state', 'zip': 'postalcode', 'country': 'country' };
var queryParams = [];
for (var key in map) {
if (values[map[key]])
queryParams.push(encodeURIComponent((typeof values[map[key]] === 'object') ? values[map[key]].text : values[map[key]]));
}
var win = window.open('http://maps.google.com/?&q=' + queryParams.join('+'));
}
});
});
This code overrides the showMap function in the Address control and replaces it with a new one that opens Google Maps instead of Mapquest.
To use the code above, I would recommend using our free Custom Loader Module. Once, that is installed, go to the SlxClient portal and select the SupportFiles tab, open the Custom\Modules folder. Then create a new folder named “Address” and create a file named “main.js” inside of that and paste in the code from above. If you’re not using the Custom Loader Module (really, you should be. It makes things so much easier), then you’ll need to wire up the code above in the base.master (or just add it in there enclosed in script tags).
