Catalog Client Script: how to determine if loaded in Service Portal or Platform UI?

Basic principle is to use the URL via top.location which will be different in service portal:


function onLoad() {
    //shared functions for form load
    var urlString=top.location.toString();
    var bPortal=false; //--loaded from Service Portal?
    if(urlString.indexOf('rp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=')>-1){
        bPortal=true;
    }
   
    //--set hidden field--store sys id for ref qualifiers (referenced in script include MAB_refqual_functions)
    //--Cat item id:
    var itemID='';
    try{
        if (bPortal){
            itemID= g_form.getSysId(); //--service portal friendly
        }else{
            //--standard servicenow form
            itemID= gel('sysparm_id').value;
        }
    }catch (ex){
         //--
        alert('An error has occurred in the form load ' + ex.toString());
    }
    g_form.setValue('hidden_catitem_sysid',itemID );
    //alert(g_form.getValue('hidden_catitem_sysid'));
}

URL link in addInfoMessage

var ga=new GlideAjax('gld_HR_ajax'); ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkEmployeeNumber_hrProfile'); ga.addParam('sysparm_hrprofilenumber', g_form.getValue('number')); ga.addParam('sysparm_employeenumber', newValue); ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) { if (answer!='undefined' && answer!=''){ var navURL="<a style='text-decoration:underline;color:blue' href=hr_profile.do?sysparm_query=number=" + answer + ">" + answer + "</a><img width='3' src='images/s.gif'/>"; var sMsg='The employee number entered already exists on another HR Profile ' + navURL; //alert(sMsg); g_form.showErrorBox('employee_number', 'error - please check'); g_form.addInfoMessage(sMsg); } });

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
