AW: 1 form, multiple actions

Hi Josey,

I had the same problem. I needed two submit buttons with different actions behind it. What I did:

In the view:

</fieldset><?
echo $form->submit('saveandleave', array('div'=>false, 'name'=>'saveandleave', 'value'=>'saveandleave'));
echo ' ';
echo $form->submit('onlysave', array('div'=>false, 'name'=>'onlysave', 'value'=>'onlysave'));
echo $form->end();?></div>

In the controller it goes to one action, but forks there depending on the parameter:
if ($this->Mymodel->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('data saved', true));
//here comes the fork:
if($this->params['form']['save'] == 'saveandleave') {
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} elseif($this->params['form']['save'] == 'onlysave') {
....
Hope that helps

Anja

Betreff: 1 form, multiple actions

Is it possible to have multiple controller actions in one form?

What I'm trying to do is this:

I have a form that lists all my posts, if you're logged in as admin you get a checkbox beside every post.
You would select these checkboxes to perform certain actions.

As of right now I have it pointing towards my delete action to remove multiple rows in the database at once. Works like a charm.

What I struggle with is the fact that "Publish/unpublish" will also be an option alongside "Delete" so how do I tell the form what action the button is supposed to take?

Thanks to all.
