Writing Out to beforeLabel on SingleValue

Drainy — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:43:58 GMT

So at the moment there is some jquery I use which I believe @sideview posted some time ago, it begins with;

if (Splunk.Module.SingleValue) {
    Splunk.Module.SingleValue = $.klass(Splunk.Module.SingleValue, {
        renderResults: function($super, result) {

Now my problem is that I need to change the text to a link to another dashboard. If I use the linkView and linkSearch then it will pass a search through, I just want to link directly to another dashboard without using the view results link.

So, I decided to try and re-write the above to access the beforelabel but with little to no effect.
If anyone has any suggestions on how I could achieve this then I would be glad to hear it. I just need to do a text match on the contents of the beforeLabel and then assign a static URL to a custom dashboard for that text.

And below is the answer I eventually came up with after digging out the SingleValue module code 🙂 This code will look for a particular text match in your beforeLabel and apply a static link to it. You can extend this easily to add a link across the result and afterLabel too.

if (Splunk.Module.SingleValue) {
 Splunk.Module.SingleValue = $.klass(Splunk.Module.SingleValue, {
  renderResults: function($super, result) {
   var retVal = $super(result);
    if (this._before_label=="beforeLabel Text -") {
    $('.singleLabelBefore', this.container).html("<a href='dashboardtolinkto'>beforeLabel Text -</a>");
    } else if(this._before_label=="different beforeLabel Text -") {
     $('.singleLabelBefore', this.container).html("<a href='diffdashboard'>different beforeLabel Text -</a>");
    } 
    return retVal;
    }
});
}

Thanks for this!
Adding a link to a single value is unnecessarily difficult, you've been a great help
