Creating Custom "new" LIST button for custom object

Question

I have a junction object called relationships. It is tied to Projects and Accounts. I am just trying to create a custom list button that adds a new record.

So far I have this: window.open("{!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New)}");

Settings are on execute javascript but I tried all the other settings too. It always leads to a broken page. Have tried many variations--anyone have any advice on how to simply create a new record? The reason I do not want to use the original "New Relationship" button is because I want to change the label to something more custom "New Account" on the project object, and "New Project" on the account object.

thanks!

Answer 1

the URL for parameter requires two inputs, the Action, and the ID for the record.

When I do what you have I get a JS error. However when I do this I get the correct URL:

window.open("{!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New,null)}");

If you want to see what is being returned to troubleshoot use this:

alert("{!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New,null)}");

Then copy and past the url and see where it takes you.

Here are steps to implement.

1. List View button
2. Behaviour : Display in existing window without sidebar and header
3. Content Source : URL
4. /a2A/e

Here 'a2A' is custom object first 3 characters of id.
