Change page edit buttons value

[Spica]

How to change the buttons value. Have the hook,

$this->addHookBefore('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm', $this, 'pButton');

but dont find any hint how to adress the value of the button which is defined in line 387 in processPageEdit

$submit2->attr('value', $this->_('Save + Keep Unpublished')); // Button: save unpublished

ProcessPageEdit::buildForm returns an InputfieldForm element. So you want to hook after it’s done creating the form using addHookAfter.

Then you can get the form element like so: $form = $event->return;

Now all you can modify it to your heart’s content. To get the submit button, I think you can simply do $submitbutton = $form->get('submit_save');

Sorry, no copypastable code. I’m on mobile.

Sorry, but dont get it to work. Tried this.

	function saveButtonText(HookEvent $event) {
			$form = $event->return;
			$submitbutton = $form->get('submit_save_unpublished');
			$submitbutton->attr('value', 'myButtonText');
	}

And actually I want to change only the text of the button. Realized that I am adressing the value, which should stay for the propper functionality of the form.

I would go the javascript route, it's a one-liner in JQuery

want to change it role based. so its getting complicated with jquery.

Firstly $form->get() does only search by field name, while you supplied the id of the button. Also this id will be used for the "save" and "publish" button, so to differentiate use this names: "submit_save" "submit_publish". Secondly the value of the submit field is not necessary for the form submition, otherwise it would not be translateable. Only the name attr has to stay the same.

great, this is it

	function saveButtonText(HookEvent $event) {
			$form = $event->return;
			$submitbutton = $form->get('submit_save');
			$submitbutton->attr('value', 'myButtonText');
	}
