I am trying to create a custom Event button called "Log a Meeting" that displays on the Activity History related lists of the Lead, Account, Contact, and Opportunity records and functions the same as the "New Event" button - opens a new event for that record (similar to the "Log a Call," but for events instead of tasks).
I am having trouble determining the code for this button and would love some help. I am not a Developer, so am learning as I go. Below is what I have so far, but I am having trouble identifying a command to actually open the Event url - or do I need to tell it to open a New Event instead of listing the URL? Will the below even get me anywhere (currently it does nothing)?
If I could just mirror the NewEvent script I'd be good, but I cannot find it anywhere.
if ('{!Lead.Id}'!='') {
https://na4.salesforce.com/00U/e?who_id={!Lead.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Lead.Id};
}
else if ('{!Opportunity.Id}'!='') {
https://na4.salesforce.com/00U/e?what_id={!Opportunity.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id};
}
else if ('{!Contact.Id}'!=''){
https://na4.salesforce.com/00U/e?who_id={!Contact.Id}&what_id={!Account.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Contact.Id};
}
else {https://na4.salesforce.com/00U/e?what_id={!Account.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Account.Id}
}
I already posted a similar question, which got me this far, and I'm still struggling.
Thank you!!

Well you're close now, but what you need is to set the window.location property. As it stands you're just outputting a URL but you're not telling JS what to do with it.
Also, while you're at it, you should use relative URLs -- no need to put the full "https://na4.salesforce.com" in there, and that could break if you ever got moved to a different server.
window.location = "/00U/e?who_id={!Lead.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Lead.Id};";
Be sure not to forget the quotes, or the semicolons at the ends of each URL.
