add a button to the actionbar when $mode='view'

aaandy

Hello,

I am trying to make a button on the action bar and it have to be linked to the method 'pdf' in the same class, is that possible without editing recordbrowser_0.php?

heres my code:

    

public function pdf() {

        //pdf will be created to download

    }

    public static function submit_project($values, $mode) {

        switch ($mode) {

            case 'view':

                Base_ActionBarCommon::add('pdf', __('PDF'));

                break;

        }

        return $values;

    }

Greetings,
Andy

Hi,

Thank you for your reply the method like this works done it this way like 1000000 of times:

Base_ActionBarCommon::add('invoice', __('Invoice'), 'href="modules/Custom/Projects/print/invoice.pdf.php?' . http_build_query(array('project' => $values['id'])) . '"');

But i was actually wondering if i could call a method inside ProjectsCommon_0.php so i don't need to create a seperated php file for pdf.

greetings,

Hi,

in simple manner - no you can't. Separated file for printing acts like simple pdf - parameters are passed to script, script creates pdf content, and tells your browsers, that this file is pdf. You can't generate content as a file using callback hrefs, because callback hrefs are processed by EPESI content.

But you could create some kind of proxy file - one for whole EPESI, where you will pass parameters to print (as now), and also callback to call. Then your callback will create pdf, and proxy file will serve its content. Like it's done for attachments.
