Button Module for Updating Static Information

[berechar]

Hi all,

I would like to add a menu item the the 'setup' drop-down menu in the admin (eg. where 'Import Pages from CSV' ends up). This menu item should only function as a button: I would like to click it, run it's function(s), and return to the same page as where I was. I would use it to get some PW data, wrangle it, and save it. Because the information is very static and big, it doesn't have to be reguraly be updated, therefore, a button is enough.

Any help, pointers and how to's regarding to make such a module-button would be great.

Best,
Berechar

Create a module of the "Process" type here: http://modules.pw/ 

In the ___execute() function you can do your work and after that use this to redirect wherever you need:

$this->session->redirect($url, false);

I'm just not sure how exactly you could get the previous location's url.

Server referer should work fine in most cases for the previous URL.
