New UX URL parsing
I have a browser extension that a user is using to maintain context of the 'piece' they're working on in Workfront. It relies on snagging the ID (of the project, task or issue) from the active page's address. With the new UX, the address follows a different format and so the extension isn't working anymore. I'm no JS developer, but I think the following code is what is grabbing the ID:
f = function(t, e) {
e || (e = window.location.href), t = t.replace(/[\]]/g, "\\$&");
var n = new RegExp("[?&]" + t + "(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)"),
r = n.exec(e);
return r ? r[2] ? decodeURIComponent(r[2].replace(/\+/g, " ")) : "" : null }
I have 0 experience with regular expressions, so all that is mostly lost on me. Has anyone here had to update any URL parsing routines for the new UX? Care to translate / share a snippet that would grab the ID from the new address format (eg. "/task/ /overview" instead of "/task/view?ID= ") Rick MacDuffie Symetra Life Insurance Company
