Creating edit/delete record buttons

krzaq4

Hi,
I'm creating additional, optional view for premium projects. It's built on a tree (Utils/Tree) structure. As for now, I wrote mechanism for tree creation and it works fine. I also succeeded creating add new project button and some filtering in a form. This mechanism also works with defined criteria. What I would like to achieve is create edit/delete buttons (like in Utils/RecordBrowser) for each record listed. Where should I start? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Michal

Hi,

you can create callback href for each record to delete record or show edit form.

Just look at RB code.
First "View" mode. (Single record in details):
modules/Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordBrowser_0.php -- lines 1201 - 1207



                if ($this->get_access('edit',$this->record)) {

                    Base_ActionBarCommon::add('edit', __('Edit'), $this->create_callback_href(array($this,'navigate'), array('view_entry','edit',$id)));

                    Utils_ShortcutCommon::add(array('Ctrl','E'), 'function(){'.$this->create_callback_href_js(array($this,'navigate'), array('view_entry','edit',$id)).'}');

                }

                if ($this->get_access('delete',$this->record)) {

                    Base_ActionBarCommon::add('delete', __('Delete'), $this->create_confirm_callback_href(__('Are you sure you want to delete this record?'),array($this,'delete_record'),array($id)));

                }

method 'navigate' here is used to push main new instance of RB module, method 'view_entry' with parameter mode = 'edit'. It's in the same file.
also method delete_record.

Second "Browse" mode (Table view of several records):
modules/Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordBrowser_0.php -- lines around 925.
It's similar to previous example, but it uses GenericBrowser to add action in table view.

It's answer for "Where should I start". It's not complete solution.

Adam

Thanks for answering so fast!
I already did something like this and it works for me just fine:

$del_but = '<div '.$this->create_confirm_callback_href('Czy na pewno chcesz usunąć rekord?', array($this,'delete_project'), array('id'=>$root['id'])).'><img class="action_button" border="0" src="data/Base_Theme/templates/default/Utils/GenericBrowser/delete.png"/></div>' ;

$edit_but = Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::record_link_open_tag('premium_projects', $root['id'], false, 'edit').'<img class="action_button" border="0" src="data/Base_Theme/templates/default/Utils/GenericBrowser/edit.png">'.Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::record_link_close_tag() ;

Thanks again, I'll check your approach in a moment and choose which best suits my needs. I needed to have something like this:

Hi,

All buttons specific to the module should be placed in the Action Bar (in the top Navigation Bar) to conform to our GUI layout standard. Therefore you should consider making your page look like this:

AB buttons

To place buttons in the Action Bar see the following: http://www.epesi.org/index.php?title=Base/ActionBar
