DayBack Behaviors, Hacks, and Extensions

In this scenario, we’re retrieving the parameter “sessionID” from the URL string and assigning it to an additional field in the event.

This takes effect when an existing event is clicked on or a new event is created.

// Gets the sessionID parameter from the URL and populates the additional field

function getSessionID() {
    'use strict';

    var sessionID = getUrlVars().sessionID;
    editEvent['1234996543210-4152637485'] = sessionID;
}

// Function to retrieve parameters from the URL

function getUrlVars() {
    'use strict';

    var vars = {};
    var parts = location.href.substring(0, location.href.indexOf('#/')).replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m,key,value) {
        vars[key] = value;
    });
    return vars;
}

getSessionID();
