Change delete button confirmation text

[Micah1]

Hey all! Has anyone come up with a bit of javascript to change the text on the confirmation prompt of a delete button? I would like to change the text from the standard, “Are you sure you want to delete this?”.

Here is what I have tried below

1. Custom JavaScript to Override Confirmation Text:

   • I attempted to override the default delete confirmation prompt with custom text using the following script:

   $(document).on('knack-view-render.view_285', function(event, view) {
       $(view.el).on('click', 'a.kn-delete', function(e) {
           e.preventDefault();  // Prevent the default action
           
           // Custom delete confirmation message
           var confirmDelete = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this record? This action cannot be undone.");
           
           if (confirmDelete) {
               var recordId = $(this).data('record-id'); // Get the record ID from data attribute
               
               Knack.showSpinner();
               Knack.views[view.key].model.deleteModel(recordId, {
                   success: function(model, response) {
                       Knack.hideSpinner();
                       location.reload();  // Reload after deletion
                   },
                   error: function(model, response) {
                       Knack.hideSpinner();
                       alert('There was an error deleting the record.");
                   }
               });
           }
       });
   });
   

2. Custom JavaScript to Create a Custom Delete Button:

   • I also tried to replace the original delete button with a custom button using the following script:

   $(document).on('knack-view-render.view_285', function(event, view) {
       // Add a custom delete button
       var buttonHTML = '<button id="custom-delete" class="kn-button is-danger">Delete Record</button>';
       $(view.el).append(buttonHTML);
   
       // Handle click on the custom delete button
       $('#custom-delete').on('click', function(e) {
           e.preventDefault();
           
           var recordId = Knack.models[view.key].get('id'); // Get the record ID
           
           Knack.showSpinner();
           $.ajax({
               url: 'https://api.knack.com/v1/objects/' + view.source.object + '/records/' + recordId,
               type: 'DELETE',
               headers: {
                   'Authorization': Knack.getUserToken(),
                   'X-Knack-Application-Id': Knack.application_id,
                   'X-Knack-REST-API-Key': 'knack',
               },
               success: function(response) {
                   Knack.hideSpinner();
                   location.reload();  // Reload after deletion
               },
               error: function(xhr, status, error) {
                   Knack.hideSpinner();
                   alert('There was an error deleting the record.');
               }
           });
       });
   });
   

3. Custom JavaScript to Remove the Confirmation Prompt Entirely:

   • I tried removing the confirmation prompt altogether and directly deleting the record with the following script:

   $(document).on('knack-view-render.view_285', function(event, view) {
       // Unbind the default click event and directly delete the record without confirmation
       $(view.el).find('a.kn-delete').off('click').on('click', function(e) {
           e.preventDefault();  // Prevent the default action
   
           var recordId = Knack.models[view.key].get('id'); // Get the record ID
           
           // Perform the deletion using Knack's built-in model method
           Knack.showSpinner();
           Knack.views[view.key].model.deleteModel(recordId, {
               success: function(model, response) {
                   Knack.hideSpinner();
                   location.reload();  // Optionally reload the page or redirect the user
               },
               error: function(model, response) {
                   Knack.hideSpinner();
                   alert('There was an error deleting the record.');
               }
           });
       });
   });
   

None of the above work. I have managed to get a second prompt but cannot remove the first or change the text.

I’m looking to either:

1. Change the default confirmation text that appears when deleting a record.
2. Alternatively, remove the confirmation prompt altogether and allow the deletion to proceed immediately.

Any assistance with this would be so greatly appreciated!!!
