Hi,

First of all congratulations with jcook. It is fantastic to start !!
I am used to code components, and this way speeds a lot the beginning. But now it is a little more complicated to me because i am not familiar with the code.

My problem is the following:
I did a frontend collection and a frontend item. It works fine for editing, delete and create a new one.
On the grid of the collection i did a button (just like the edit one) to 'replicate'. I want to create a new component but using some values of the selected item (not all of them).

So in the grid i use:
task' => "samplesitem.replicate",

then in the controller i do:

public function replicate()
	{
            JRequest::setVar('replicate', 'yes' );
            $this->applyRedirection($result, array(
					'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem',
					'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem'
				), array(
					'cid[]' => $model->getState('samplesitem.id')
				));
            return true;
        }

Then i arrive to the view.html.php that is where i have problems
                $this->item		= $item		= $this->get('Item');
                $this->form		= $form		= $this->get('Form');
               if ($replicate == 'yes'):
                    $item_backup = $item;                   
                    $this->state->set('samplesitem.id', '0');
                    $item = $this->get('Item');             
                    $item->sample = $item_backup->sample;
                    $item->sample_code = $item_backup->sample_code;
                    $this->item	= $item;
                    $this->form		= $form		= $this->get('Form');
                endif;

I try everything but the form always appear with all ancient parameters or just like a brand new !
There is any way to add ceratin values to the form or to do what i am doing ore easily ?

thanks in advance

admin Offline Administrator Chef Posts: 3711 Thank you received: 987 Karma: 140	You did well, but do it in the save() function. Write in the correct switch() context (layout + task) The vars you must set in the redirector are filter_myfk1, filter_myfk2, ...

Hi,

Sorrry to disturb, but something it is not working !

i repeat again the problem:
i have a table named samples with the following variables:
id (integer)
sample (text)
samplecode (text)
exchange_date (date)
origin_id (select box)
destination_id (select box)

I did a collection view, an item view, edit, delete, etc.. everything fine !

On the grid view i want an icon (or text) on each line to create a new entry taking some values of the selected item on the following way:
sample = old sample
samplecode = old samplecode
exchange_date = empty
origin_id = old destination_id
destination_id = empty
so i want to take this values and to display the item view in edit mode to fullfil the date, destination,etc..

so, i tried everything, it must be simple but it doesn't work !

I followed the link you passed to me:
on the item controller:

public function duplicate()
        {
                JRequest::checkToken() or JRequest::checkToken('get') or jexit(JText::_('JINVALID_TOKEN'));

                //Check the ACLs
                $model = $this->getModel();
                $item = $model->getItem();
                if (!$model->canEdit($item))
                        return false;
                
		$result = parent::save();
                //Catch the initializated JModel trough postSaveHook()
                $model = $this->model;

                //Define the redirections
                switch($this->getLayout() .'.'. $this->getTask())
                {
                        case 'samplesitem.duplicate':
                                $this->applyRedirection($result, array(
                                        'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem',
                                        'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem'
                                ), array(
                                    'cid[]' => $model->getState('samplesitem.id')
                                    //'filter_some_id' => $model->getState('yourcurrentlayoutname.id')
                                ));
                        break;	
                }
        }

I CREATE THE SUBMIT - in administrator/components/com_yourcomponent/dom/html/toolbar/button.php

and TASK SWITCH - create case for the custom button
in administrator/components/com_yourcomponent/dom/dom.php

and i obtain blank

on the other hand i try to work as you advice me on the save case, but i do not arrive there easily, and on the other hand i can't modify fields.

Sorry to derange you, but it should be easy, but i do not know how.
In case i do not solve, i will do a separate view with home made code !! but it is a pity having your powerful structure already done.

thanks in advance

I forgot to tell you that by using on the default grid:

<td style="text-align:center">
					<?php echo JDom::_('html.grid.task.task', array(
											'num' => $i,
											'task' => "samplesitem.save2copy",
											'label' => "SAMPLESTRACKING_JTOOLBAR_EDIT",
											'view'	=> "icon"
												));
					?>
			</td>

it makes a good copy, but i do not know where and how to modify the variables. I tried on the save fucntion as you said by doing a :

if ($this->getTask() == 'save2copy'):
                    $item->samplecode = 'Test value';
                endif;

before the save, but it never takes the correct value !
always remain the old one !

public function save()
	{
		JRequest::checkToken() or JRequest::checkToken('get') or jexit(JText::_('JINVALID_TOKEN'));

                //Check the ACLs
		$model = $this->getModel();
		$item = $model->getItem();
		if (!$model->canEdit($item))
			return false;
              
                if ($this->getTask() == 'save2copy'):
                    $item->samplecode = 'Test value';
                endif;
                
		$result = parent::save();
		//Catch the initializated JModel trough postSaveHook()
		$model = $this->model;

		//Define the redirections
		switch($this->getLayout() .'.'. $this->getTask())
		{
			case 'samplesitem.save':
				$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
					'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem',
					'com_samplestracking.samples.default'
				), array(
					'cid[]' => null
				));
				break;

			case 'samplesitem.apply':
				$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
					'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem',
					'com_samplestracking.samplesitem.samplesitem'
				), array(
					'cid[]' => $model->getState('samplesitem.id')
				));
				break;
                                                             
		}
                
                
	}

This could be a good option too

regards,
Albert

JoomGuy Offline Moderator Joomla Enthusiast, Lover of Cooking Posts: 1115 Thank you received: 195 Karma: 64	Sure, I saw admins message in the thread. I believe that the code is all fine - what were your errors? @admin was referring to creating a JDom class to be able to handle the rendering of a custom button as opposed to stating that BTB300's tutorial didn't work.
