Form With Multiple Buttons

Yii 2.0 General Discussions
1

Is there a way to easily have multiple buttons within a form which go to different actions from within the controller.

Ie a form populated from a model and then have ‘Save’,‘Update’ & ‘Delete’ buttons.

Or would this require just having different buttons and having a custom js script which runs ajax to the controller.

Why not just have a "Save" button?

The "Save" method in AR will update/create.

Save does the save and update you are correct. But I would like a delete button and possibly another button to do a different function.

Don’t see a problem with this. Are you facing any issue doing this?

Hi Kartik, the save/update works fine, but im not sure how to add another button within the form which goes to another action.

6

As simple as… :)




echo Html::a('Delete', ['/controller/delete', 'id'=>$model->id], ['class'=>'btn btn-danger']);

Great thanks Kartik.

One Other question though, I am having problems removing the get parameter from within the url.

I am doing this within my delete action:




        $model = new Supplier();

        if(Yii::$app->request->isGet)

        {

           $model->suppliercode = $id;

           if($model->deletesupplier())

           {

               return $this->render('/');

           }

        }

It just reloads the page with the get parameters still there.

Use the refresh method as below:




$model = new Supplier();

if(Yii::$app->request->isGet)

{

   $model->suppliercode = $id;

   if($model->deletesupplier())

   {

       return $this->refresh();

   }

}

Thanks Kartik will give that a go tomorrow.
