jquery spservices 'undefined'
Posted on 2013-01-01
I created the following function and I'm trying to figure out whey the alert(boolval) returns 'undefined'. The alert("Hello") works though.
Any ideas please?
Thanks!
function GetGroupOfUser(){
var curUser = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser();
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetGroupCollectionFromUser",
userLoginName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser(),
async: false,
completefunc: function(xData, Status) {
if($(xData.responseXML).find("Group[Name='ACC']").length == 1) {
alert("Hello");
var boolVal = "True";
alert(boolval);
}
else
{
var boolval = "False";
alert(boolval);
}
}
}); /*close().SPServices */
}
Any ideas please?
Thanks!

boolVal - V is capital and javascript is case sensative language..
Try like this
var boolval = "True";
alert(boolval);
Try like this
var boolval = "True";
alert(boolval);

That does not work either.
I switched it around...here's the full code that's calling the function...

If you're trying to get the alert which is in your first scriptblock it will return undefined when the if clause is not firing.
In other words to return the boolVal you should take it out of the if clause of the GetGroupOfUser() function like so:
It is worthing to note, that if your ajax call fails then no boolVal will be returned either so you might return that value even outside your ajax call after the /*close().SPServices */ comment to return at least false if ajax fails.

alert("Hello");
var boolVal = "True";
}
return boolVal;
}
}); /*close().SPServices */
// better to put the return boolVal here, cause this returns even if ajax fails.
}

Oh sorry, I've overseen, that in you ajax call you're redefining boolval. Once you defined outside, don't define it again elsewhere. Just set it to the according value in that context.
What I mean is you usually define a variable only once: var somvar = "something";
Additionally, the first variable is of type boolean by declaring it false, and the second value you declare is of type string, because you've put it within quotes. Stick to one type for that variable.
So try it like that:
Note: This will set boolVal to true only if the ajax completes correctly. But will return false if ajax call fails.

When I call the function from the code below, if the boolVal is false, I get boolVal is undefined. Everything is ok if it's true though.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var getBoolVal= [b]GetGroupOfUser()[/b];
if(getBoolVal)
{
alert("True");
}
else
{
alert("False");
}
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetListItems",
async: false,
listName: "SDIMetrics",
CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='MAJCOM' /><FieldRef Name='ID' /></ViewFields>",
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
$(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function() {
var liHtml = "<li>" + $(this).attr("ows_Title") + "</li>";
$("#tasksUL").append(liHtml);
alert(liHtml);
});
}
});
});
</script>
