REDIRECT FUNCTIONS - V2.0 (30/9/12)
- The redirect functions can be found inside the controller file of the relevant layout
- The code below shows a save function snippet

	case 'yyyyyy.save':
		$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
			'com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout1',
			'com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout2'
		), array(
			'cid[]' => null,
			'filter_some_id'=> 'cid['.$model->getId().']', // pass the current id
					
		));
		break;

For those wanting to pass more than one variable in the redirect to combos in the next form (not currently available in cook redirect) edit the relevant controller file save function

PASSING MORE THAN ONE VARIABLE - not currently available in cook redirect

	case 'yyyyyyy.save':
		$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
			'com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout1',
			'com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout2'
		), array(
			'cid[]' => null,
			'filter_some_id'=> 'cid['.$model->getId().']', // pass the current id
			'filter_another_id'=> $item->another_id // add the the additional value for the combo here
					
		));
		break;

PASSING ALTERNATE VARIABLES - not currently available in cook redirect

	case 'yyyyyy.save':
		$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
			'com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout1',
			'com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout2'
		), array(
			'cid[]' => null,
			// remove this 'filter_some_id'=> 'cid['.$model->getId().']', // pass the current id
			'filter_another_id'=> $item->another_id // add the the additional value for the combo here
					
		));
		break;

Means you have to look in yoursite.com/components/com_youcomponent/controllers/the_name_of_the_table_you're_working_on.php

Did it help ?

Cook handles this far better than joomla native although, because the code from cook is streamlined so well, you won't find a save function in your controllers/models as they utilise parent classes & super classes.Therefore, you need to:

1. overload the save redirection in the controller like:

   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;
     $result = parent::save();
     //Catch the initializated JModel trough postSaveHook()
     $model = $this->model;
     //Define the redirections
     switch($this->getLayout() .'.'. $this->getTask())
   //==== REDIRECTORS GO BELOW HERE - see @BTB's solutions above in thread ====//

2. Then, underneath the comment //==== REDIRECTORS GO... ====//, copy one of @BTB300's solutions, changing the component.view.layout in the redirectors as well as the view.task in the case/switch;
   • the first is the redirect if $result of the parent::save() == 0 OR NULL
   • the second is if if $result of the parent::save() == 1
3. Be sure to close out of the switch()/cases and the save() function with:

   } // CLOSE SWITCH
   }//CLOSE FUNCTION

4. Save and happy redirecting!

Hope it helps,

com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout1 and com_xxxx.yyyyyy.layout2

array(
			'cid[]' => null,
			'filter_some_id'=> 'cid['.$model->getId().']', // pass the current id

// To a combo box use
array(
		'cid[]' => null,
		'filter_myfieldname'=> ....

// To a input box use
array(
		'cid[]' => null,
		'myfieldname'=> ....

Almost...

layout1, as somebody said, is almost of the case you layout from. But, it can also be another error page, even outside of your component (ex : an article, or home page... what you want)
