Joss Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I like the save button! It is a nice positive button with some pretty solid features that has got me out or trouble lots of times.... But I am wondering whether it is a bit lonely and could do with some bed-fellows? I am thinking of these few cousins: Save and Close (returns you to the page list, field list ,,,) Save and New (Saves the current doc and creates a new one of the same type - child of the same parent, for instance, with the same template enabled) Duplicate - literally creates a new whatever with everything the same, including the content. Very useful in SEO heavy sites where you want lots of similar pages with just some localisation changes. Cancel - closes without saving, maybe with an alert. This is a bit of a Joomla inspired list, but it can really speed things up when getting down to the content filling bit of a site, or mass producing fields. Display wise, I would suggest a button dropdown, like you can create thanks to those nice people at Bootstrap So, you would still have your sweet little save button, but with a down arrow next to it that revealed the other options, rather than have a long list of buttons. This has probably been suggested loads of times before, but I thought I would just nudge it into the list, just in case. Joss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onjegolders Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 +1, think this has been mentioned a few times, would help with the workflow (only saves a few seconds each time but it adds up) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Knoll Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Maybe you could just "hook" the button so that you could expand it with custom modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe configurable palette of buttons, but I for one (for instance) don't want to have four buttons on my edit page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are functions that I have found very useful with all kinds of systems when you are having to create a lot of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistimj Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 A Save and New button would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Geerts Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Maybe next to the save button a create sibling after save checkbox that remembers your last choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was more for the +1ers, not for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh, okay. I hate internet communications sometimes (well, a lot of the time.) So ambiguous and messy. It will never replace talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh, nevermind that. Reasonable people always come to understanding, even though it might be harder on the internet sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Joss, I was out of actual buttons, but I implemented something else that might interest you as well. See http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2369-module-pageeditredirects/. Your post reminded me of a much older thread I once read (adam was actually involved with this back then) and there I found another way to accomplish the same kind of functionality. Maybe that could evolve into something useful even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotnetic Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 +1 for that feature. Take a look at modx, they implemented it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
