Custom control scripts for Nintex Forms

Handy scripts to get custom display value in a field based on the value submitted by the user.

To get login id of the user in a label control without @organizationname.org

• Set the control’s CSS style value to a custom style name. (.my-custom-label in this example)
• Include an empty style in the Custom CSS section in form settings (.my-custom-lable{}; for this example)
• Set controls
• NWF$(document).ready(function(){
  var ppl= NWF$(‘#’ + varEmployeeName);
  ppl.change(function(){
  if(this.value == “”){
  NWF$(“.my-custom-label label”).text(”);
  }
  else{
  var name = this.value.split(‘|’)[2].split(‘@’)[0];
  NWF$(“.my-custom-label label”).text(name);
  alert(name);
  }
  });
  });

To get custom formatted telephone(or fax) number in a label.

• Set the control’s CSS to a custom style
• Include empty style in the Custom CSS section in form settingsCustom CSS section in form settings (.my-custom-phone in this sample)
• NWF$(document).ready(function() {
  var tel=NWF$(‘#’+telephoneVar);
  tel.change(function() {
  var telephone = this.value.replace(/(\d\d\d)(\d\d\d)(\d\d\d\d)/, “Tel – ($1) $2-$3”);
  NWF$(“.my-custom-phone”).text(telephone);
  alert(telephone);
  tel.prop(‘maxlength’,10); 
  });
  
  To set maxlength of telephone/fax you can set variable.prop(‘maxlength’,10)

Note: 
Store the client id of the control in a JavaScript variable. This is what you use to get the input value from the control prior to calculating the value for display purposes.
