I need a help! I am newbie in chrome extension and I am get stuck with my below case so anyone can look into this case?
We need to load HTML pages with user details by conditionally in default popup box from popup.js file. I have added below code in popup.js. When user is logged-in extension then call "main.html" file (we are storing user details in chrome.storage by using chrome.storage.sync.set() APIs and get that user details by following code in popup.js file).
and when user logout then show "login.html" in default popup
chrome.storage.sync.get(["user"], function(items) {
if (!items.user){
window.location.href = "login.html";
}
else {
$("#usernameId").text('Welcome '+items.user.username);
$("#totCreditId").text(items.user.tot_credit);
$("#leftCreditId").text(items.user.left_credit);
window.location.href = "main.html";
}
});
It working fine but user details are not reflected (username, total credit, left credit etc..) in main.html page, Can you please correct me what I am doing wrong in it?
Thanks in advance!

I'm developing an extension that if opened in a specific page it will collect all forms links in that page, then it should visit each link and fill the form and submit it. i don't mind if it is visible or in the background.
I know how to do these separately:
collect the links
open a link
fill and send a form
but i need help on how can i combine those at once, visit all the links and fill/submit each one. any hint?
I'm looking to do something similar to what i can do with Selenium. but in chrome extension.
Try this:
1: inject the content script to the target page.
The script collect the links, and send the link addresses to background script (service worker) background.js by chrome.runtime.sendMessage().
2: Background script add listener for the message by chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(),
and the listener do the following for each link.
const tab = await chrome.tabs.create({url: <url_of_the_ilnk>})
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: {tabId: tab.id}, function:yourFunction
});
where, yourFunction() do fill and send form.
I'm trying to implement an extension that can auto fill all fields in an application website. Currently it works great in main frame, but doesn't work if the fields are in a iframe.
I'm allowing users to either use content script to auto inject JS or click a button to inject JS manually.
The problem I have is my JS is not injecting into iframe even I set allFrames to true, but content script work.
"content_scripts" : [
{
"matches" : ["https://*/my_url/*"],
"js" : ["/auto_fill.js"],
"all_frames": true
}
]
This content scripts work fine, JS is being injected. However,
my_button.addEventListener('click', () => {
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {
file : "/auto_fill.js",
allFrames : true
})
});
This executeScript doesn't work, nothing happen.
The iframe I'm trying to work with is kinda a dynamic iframe (where I have to click few buttons to load and navigate to the application site I want)
Do I have to find out the iframe id or tab id in order for this to work, please provide some hints.
Please let me know if I'm not making myself clear.
Thank you so much for your time.
As the comments revealed, the extension is using the activeTab permission without host URL patterns (just as the documentation suggests), but this permission only grants access to the tab's main URL. When an iframe points to a different URL origin, it won't be granted by activeTab, which is an intentional restriction enforced since Chrome 45, see https://crbug.com/826433.
I am new to Netsuite and I have a requirement to show one alert message displaying "welcomeuser" after the user loggedin into Netsuite account.
I have tried this client script but its not showing any message.
function employee_PageInit(type){
debugger;
alert('Dear UserName, The data in NetSuite is confidential and the property of the company.');
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'user role', nlapiGetContext().getName());
alert('ok'+ nlapiGetContext().getName());
}
I have logged in with the role ADMINISTRATOR,
any help is appreciated thank you.
Here is a sample with 2.0. It's not pretty and would need some work. But this is one way to inject javascript logic onto the homepage with a portlet.
/**
*#NApiVersion 2.x
*#NScriptType Portlet
*/
define(['N/runtime'],
function(runtime) {
function render(params) {
var user = runtime.getCurrentUser();
params.portlet.title = 'Welcome Message';
var content = '<script>alert(\'Hello ' + user.name + '\');</script>';
params.portlet.html = content;
}
return {
render: render
};
});
U can try using custom portlet it stands out in the dashboard for showing the content.Then also alert is not possible.
I've struggled with this idea in the past and what you want is not technically possible, since there are no scripts that run when you are viewing the homepage. Here are some weird workarounds:
Schedule a calendar reminder, which can trigger a pop-up with your message.
Before assigning their full NetSuite rights, tell users to go to a specific page or form: Maybe a custom record... (the record could serve as a log of who consented to and read your policy) On this form you could have your message. Then when the user fills it out, have a back-end script enable their permissions.
Make your text into a tiny image, and make it your company logo for all of NetSuite. ;)
You can add the custom Javasript to display the alert on a Suitelet which would be set as the Landing Page under General Preferences, then once the user accepts redirect to their home page, and if they don't accept send an alert to the admin...
E.g.
<script>
var accepted = confirm('Dear UserName, The data in NetSuite is confidential and the property of the company.');
if (accepted)
window.open('https://99999.app.netsuite.com/app/center/card.nl?sc=-29&whence=');
else
//Send email to admin
</script>
Hi please follow the following steps :
Create a suitelet script - Login Script with pageInit() in clientscript action to alert your welcome message.
Goto Setup > Company > General Preference and under Centers tab add appropriate URL of the Login Script Suitelet's deployment and save the preferences.
Note : You can add different messages to different center's based on the roles in your account.
General Preference > Centers Tab
Hope this solves your issue please revert back if anything is missed.
Basically, the homepage of NetSuite is not scriptable.
There are some ways to check if the record/page is scriptable:
Look up the specific record type in the NetSuite Help Center; specifically on the Records Browser
On the Browser's developer console, you may run nlapiGetRecordType() and if it returns the record name, it should be scriptable -- please note that the record should be on edit mode for the console tool to run correctly with NetSuite pages
Hope this helps with your development!
you can write a function
function pageInit(type){
var context= nlapiGetContext();
var username = context.getName();
alert(hello+username);
}
I am trying to write an extension that adds functionality to the Chrome devtools.
According to the devtools documentation, it says that the pages in devtools support very limited apis. Any API that is not supported can be access by accessing it through the background page, just as what contentscripts does.
Here is the relevant documentation snippet:
The tabId property provides the tab identifier that you can use with the chrome.tabs.* API calls. However, please note that chrome.tabs.* API is not exposed to the Developer Tools extension pages due to security considerations — you will need to pass the tab ID to the background page and invoke the chrome.tabs.* API functions from there.
Here is the source url: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/devtools.inspectedWindow.html
However, when I try to do that, I get the following error in the console:
uncaught Error: "getBackgroundPage" can only be used in extension processes. See the content scripts documentation for more details.
Here is my code in my devtools.js script:
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().getLocation();
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT
I should describe my scenario first, and show how I am implementing it.
What I want to do is to display extra data in a devtools panel related to a webpage. In order to get that data, I will need to send a HTTP request in the same session as the page being debugged, because it requires authentication.
Use Case:
User browses to a particular URL. He is authenticated to the site. He then invokes devtools. The devtools panel opens up and a new panel shows up that has extra data related to the page.
Implementation:
1) DevTools script finds out the url of the page being inspected. If the url matches the site base hostname, then it opens a panel. In the callback of the panel creation, it sends a message to a background page, asking it to download a JSON payload from a debug endpoint on the same site, and then sends it to the devtools extension, wh ich then displays it.
Problems:
1) The background page gets the request, and downloads the URL. However the download is not using the same session as the user, so the download request fails.
2) From devtools window, I got the tabId of the inspected window. I send this tabId to the background page so that it can parse some stuff out of the url. However, chrome.tabs.get(tabId) does not return the tab.
To summarize, I need to
1) Get the background page to download data in the same session as the user's tab that is being debugged.
2) I need to have the background page be able to get access to the user's tab.
The APIs available to extension pages within the Developer Tools window include all devtools modules listed above and chrome.extension API. Other extension APIs are not available to the Developer Tools pages, but you may invoke them by sending a request to the background page of your extension, similarly to how it's done in the content scripts.
I guess the documentation is little ambiguous, By chrome.extension API they mean the Supported API's for content scripts.
So, you can use long lived communication for communication between inspected page and background page
Demonstration:
The following code illustrate scenario where a devtools page need some information from background page, it uses messages for communication.
manifest.json
Ensured permissions are all available in manifest file
{
"name":"Inspected Windows Demo",
"description":"This demonstrates Inspected window API",
"devtools_page":"devtools.html",
"manifest_version":2,
"version":"2",
"permissions":["experimental"],
"background":{
"scripts" : ["background.js"]
}
}
devtools.html
A trivial HTML File
<html>
<head>
<script src="devtools.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
devtools.js
Used Long lived Communication API's
var port = chrome.extension.connect({
name: "Sample Communication"
});
port.postMessage("Request Tab Data");
port.onMessage.addListener(function (msg) {
console.log("Tab Data recieved is " + msg);
});
background.js
Responded to communication request and passed trivial information using tab API()'s
chrome.extension.onConnect.addListener(function (port) {
port.onMessage.addListener(function (message) {
chrome.tabs.query({
"status": "complete",
"currentWindow": true,
"active": true
}, function (tabs) {
port.postMessage(tabs[0].id);
});
console.log("Message recived is "+message);
});
});
Sample Output received for trivial devtools.js here
Let me know if you need more information
EDIT 1)
For your question 1)
Can you make you call(s) from browser extension HTML Page\Content Script so same session is shared, i have tried both the ways in a sample and it is working form me, instead of code in background page- make the code in content script or browser action HTML Page.
Let me know if you are still facing problems.
For your question 2)
The following code always fetches current window user is browsing
manifest.json
Ensure you have tabs permission in your manifest.
{
"name":"Inspected Windows Demo",
"description":"This demonstrates Inspected window API",
"manifest_version":2,
"version":"2",
"permissions":["tabs"],
"background":{
"scripts" : ["background.js"]
}
}
background.js
chrome.tabs.query({
"status": "complete", // Window load is completed
"currentWindow": true, // It is in current window
"active": true //Window user is browsing
}, function (tabs) {
for (tab in tabs) { // It returns array so used a loop to iterate over items
console.log(tabs[tab].id); // Catch tab id
}
});
Let me know if you are still unable to get tab id of current window.
I am trying to create an extension that will (simply) access every url the user views, the larger scope of the project is browser history across multiple computers/browsers for easier browsing history search but that is irrelevant here. My current code will read the url Sometimes, but not every page:
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
if(changeInfo.status == "loading"){
//process url
}
});
How can I get this code to read every single url in multiple tabs? I am doing this in a background page.
You can add a content script that runs on every page and sends a message to the background page with the value of location.href. You can use chrome.extension.sendMessage() for this.
