berechar Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm looking for a way to add a submit button ('Generate PDF') for a set of templates, which generates a PDF when clicked. So, a submit-button field to which I can attach attach a piece of code. I don't want to run it every time I save, because that will be too much time-consuming. I found https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8457-add-a-new-action-button-to-page-edit-screen/?hl=%2Badmin+%2Bbutton , but I can't seem to get it working. It should be placed inside the admin.php file right? Or is making a module the best way to do this... Best, Charlie *** EDIT *** I'm currently in the middle of making the [GENERATE PDF] button module. I found the Page::editable hook which works great. Somehow it also parses immediately the parent, and because I only want to parse the current page, I remove the parent like this: $page = $event->object; $page->parent = ""; // remove parent! Is this good/okay/bad practice? Then I'm trying to add a button to the template like the following: $field = $this->modules->get('InputfieldButton'); $field->attr('name', 'generate_pdf'); $field->attr('class', $field->class); $field->attr('value', '[GENERATE PDF]'); return $event->return->append($field); But this throws me an error on the appending (Error: Call to a member function append() on boolean (line 60)... The follow up question would be: how can I add an event to when this button has been clicked, and use the current available information of that page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
