I'm trying to override the buttons in my joomla component.
I've managed fine with the save function by adding code into the controller.
public function save($key = null, $urlVar = null)
{
$uri = JUri::getInstance();
$requestData = JRequest::getVar('jform', array(), 'post', 'array');
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$userId = $user->get( 'id' );
$idToUse = $requestData['id'];
I want to do the same thing with save and close and save and new but I can't figure out how to do it. I thought that I needed to go to the view.html and look at the custom functions:
JToolBarHelper::title(JText::_('COM_SHOPPER_TITLE_SELECTOR'), 'selector.png');
// If not checked out, can save the item.
if (!$checkedOut && ($canDo->get('core.edit') || ($canDo->get('core.create'))))
{
JToolBarHelper::apply('selector.apply', 'JTOOLBAR_APPLY');
JToolBarHelper::save('selector.save', 'JTOOLBAR_SAVE');
}
if (!$checkedOut && ($canDo->get('core.create')))
{
JToolBarHelper::custom('selector.save2new', 'save-new.png', 'save-new_f2.png', 'JTOOLBAR_SAVE_AND_NEW', false);
}
So I thought I just needed to add a function save2new() but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Any thoughts on where I'm going wrong would be great.
I guess you are looking for registerTask.
If you want to call save method for save2new task than you need to call registerTask inside constructor __constructor
$this->registerTask('save2new', 'save');
