Unable to add custom list item using SPServices

Question

I'm testing a basic insert new list item to custom list when user landed sub-sub site.

JS libraries are both reference in master page and path work perfectly. First I'm getting Synchronous XMLHttpRequest warning and the list is not updating.

Would appreciate any help. TIA.

    function res_scr(val) {
    $().SPServices({
        operation: "UpdateListItems",
        webURL: "http://portal/lists",
        async: false,
        batchCmd: "New",
        listName: "MyPortalAwards",
       valuepairs: [["Title", val]],                
       completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
         if (status == "success") {
            console.log("Data Saved! and Please check your List");
         }
         else {
            console.log("Unable to submit your request at this time.");
         }
        }
    });
}




$( document ).ready(function() {

    if(window.location.href.indexOf("PoliciesCircularsMemo") >= 0)  {

        res_scr('RES-POLI-CIRC-MEMO');
    }

});

Answer 1

The script you have written is for creating new list item. To update the list items use the below code:

$(divId).html(waitMessage).SPServices({
operation: "UpdateListItems",
listName: testList,
ID: ID,
valuepairs: [["Title", now]],
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
    var out = $().SPServices.SPDebugXMLHttpResult({
        node: xData.responseXML,
        outputId: divId
    });
    $(divId).html("").append("<b>This is the output from the UpdateListItems operation:</b>" + out);
    $(divId).append("<b>Refresh to see the change in the list above.</b>");
}
});

Also you can easily find other examples. The important part--ID is required while updating the items.

You're using the correct operation and batchCmd. You need to remove the word lists from your webURL. Then you need to change your status variable to Status with a capital S.

function res_scr(val) {
    $().SPServices({
        operation: "UpdateListItems",
        webURL: "http://portal",
        async: false,
        batchCmd: "New",
        listName: "Announcements",
       valuepairs: [["Title", val]],                
       completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
         if (Status == "success") {
            console.log("Data Saved! and Please check your List");
         }
         else {
            console.log("Unable to submit your request at this time.");
         }
        }
    });
}

$( document ).ready(function() {
    if(window.location.href.indexOf("PoliciesCircularsMemo") >= 0)  {
        res_scr('RES-POLI-CIRC-MEMO');
    }
});
