Framework's Load plugin to div

I'm trying to create a dashboard on the admin side of things and I'm using Framework Builder's Load Plugin to DIV to populate the main <div> on the right side of the page... all is good and works exceptionally well when just maneuvering about all the plugged in pages... only thing I'm stumped on is, if I load an UPDATE or INSERT page into the main <div> as a plugin, when the UPDATE/INSERT is finished it will redirect to let's say the details page if an insert or update is done. I would like to be able to stay on that plugged in page where the data is being updated or inserted, and then by way of a link/button plugin to go back to the main <div> after update/insert... OR be able to be able to adjust the $InsertGoTo = "../dashboard.php#maindiv"; to go to the main <div>.
I am using ---
action="<?php echo (htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], ENT_QUOTES)); ?><?php echo (isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != ""?"?".htmlentities($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], ENT_QUOTES):""); ?>"
in the form action"" and the UPDATE or INSERT works .
I've tried to add the ---
onClick="framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/productcategories_results.php',false,'main','../','');return document.MM_returnValue"
to the INSERT/UPDATE button but the javascript doesn't let the page submit the form to the server first...

Has anyone found a way to make something like this work?

Tony

It has the [REQUEST_URI] as:

is this for a static plugin?

I'm sure it is possible, but This is probably too complex for a forum answer. I''m sure I can help you figure it out in a premier support ticket. I'd do an hour of screen sharing and you could walk me through your application and I'd figure out how to get what you want done. Just post your phone number in the private area of a reply to this thread and I'll give you a call and schedule an hour screen share with you.

See PM ...

I'm winding down for the day and I'm flying home tomorrow. This might have to wait until Monday afternoon (my last doctors appointment ends at 4pm my time). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey Ray...PM

Hey Ray..

I think I may have solved the redirect back to the Dashboard....sort of...

I am setting a session variable of -- $_SESSION[ 'pageID' ] on the plugged-in page, lets say an Insert to DB page for example, then configuring the $InsertGoTo = "../dashboard.php"; to go back to the dashboard, then on the dashboard page the <body> element is in an 'if' statement as such:

<?php

if ((isset( $_SESSION[ 'pageID' ])) == "productcategories_insert.php" ) {

echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/catalog/productcategories_results.php',false,'main','../','');return document.MM_returnValue".">";

} else {


echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/DashboardMain.php',false,'main','../',false,dashboard);return document.MM_returnValue".">";

}

?>

the 'if' statement would load the default dashboard <div> if the plugin page's session variable is not set.

on the dashboard page I start the session at the top of the page as usual... but then clear the plugin page's set session variable at the bottom of the page.. seems to be working.


Then if I refresh the dashboard page the session variable that is no longer available, defaults to the DashboardMain plugin.

Not sure if this is best method, but it does work.

This would also have to be done with the $UpdateGoTo , as well as the $DeleteGoTo covering ALL the re-directs.

Let me know if I'm on the right track, and when you have time and are feeling up to it I would still be up for that session.

Hope you are doing well with your treatments.

All the Best,

Tony



====================
====== UPDATE ======
====================

dashboard.php modifications that work!!

<?php
@session_start();
?>
... at top of page


After putting a switch/case in the dashboard.php file as such...


<?php

$page = ((isset( $_SESSION[ 'pageID' ])) ? $_SESSION['pageID'] : "");

switch ($page) {

case "productcategories_insert.php":
echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/catalog/productcategories_results.php',false,'main','../','');return document.MM_returnValue".">";

case "productcategories_update.php":
echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/catalog/productcategories_results.php',false,'main','../','');return document.MM_returnValue".">";

case "productcategories_details.php":
echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/catalog/productcategories_results.php',false,'main','../','');return document.MM_returnValue".">";

case "productcategories_results.php":
echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/catalog/productcategories_results.php',false,'main','../','');return document.MM_returnValue".">";

default: echo "<body onLoad="."framework_load_plugin_url('plugins/DashboardMain.php',false,'main','../',false,dashboard);return document.MM_returnValue".">";

}
?>

..and at the bottom:

<?php
@session_start();
if (true){
// WA_ClearSession
$clearAll = FALSE;
$clearThese = explode(",","pageID");
if($clearAll){
foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value){
unset($_SESSION[$key]);
}
}
else{
foreach($clearThese as $value){
unset($_SESSION[$value]);
}
}
}
?>

and then on all DataAssist pages ...


$SESSION variableon all DataAssist pages corresponding to it's name:

<?php
@session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION["pageID"])) {
$_SESSION["pageID"] = "productcategories_detail.php";
}
?>
for productcategories_detail.php...

<?php
@session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION["pageID"])) {
$_SESSION["pageID"] = "productcategories_insert.php";
}
?>
for productcategories_insert.php...

<?php
@session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION["pageID"])) {
$_SESSION["pageID"] = "productcategories_results.php";
}
?>
for productcategories_results.php...


<?php
@session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION["pageID"])) {
$_SESSION["pageID"] = "productcategories_update.php";
}
?>
for productcategories_update.php...



$InsertGoTo = "../dashboard.php"; -- on ***_insert.php

$UpdateGoTo = "../dashboard.php"; -- on ***_update.php

$DeleteGoTo = "../dashboard.php"; -- on ***_detail.php, and on ***_results.php ... wherever I had a Delete button!

Ray if you have an idea for a better implementation let me know...

Tony

I'm glad you got it figured out! I'd have to really spend time and understand your application to know if I have a better solution, so I'd say if it works and you are happy with the speed and user experience, then it's a perfect solution.
