Return to Edit Template page after saving

This is far from being a hack, so I figured I should post it here.
Probably be moved though...

Anyway, this adds an option to the Edit Template page for returning to the same page or not.
If you select yes, then the template will be saved and you will be sent back to the editing page.
If you select no (default), then you will be sent to the main template list.

I wanted this cuss I sometimes I just edit a template over and over and over again, and loading the list again is quite a pain you-know-where.

Hopefully others will also find this helpful.


All changes are done to template.php (admin folder)!

Find this code:

PHP Code:

  makehiddencode("group", "$group"); 


(second time it appears, not first time!)
and right above add this:

PHP Code:

  makeyesnocode("Return to this page?","return",0); 


Now replace this:

PHP Code:

  echo "<p>Done!</p>";
  $action="modify";
  $expandset=$templatesetid; 


with

PHP Code:

  echo "<p>Done!</p>";
  if ($return) {
    $action="edit";
  } else {
    $action="modify";
    $expandset=$templatesetid;
  } 


And last but not least move this block:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start do update #######################
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doupdate") {
  // a few lines of code here
} 


a few lines up, namely right before this:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start edit #######################
if ($action=="edit") { 


And that's it.
If you want the default selection to be yes (not recommended - for obvious reasons), change the 0 to 1:

  makeyesnocode("Return to this page?","return",0);

That's it, hope you enjoy this.

Please note that this is only and only for edited template.
For original templates the option will not show up, because well, it's bit more complex.

I added a screen shot if you still don't get this.

What was the solution with EditPlus2?

Jezz lol thought I could get away without anyone asking. I guess I was doing somehting wrong with this hack and another but it must have been my own error I feel bad but I don't know what i changed if I did Textpad still doesn't work but EditPlus does so I've already installed 5 hacks with 4 more to come, then the customization begins.

My only worry now is that 2.2.0 isn't that last update someone told me it has bugs, so I dunno why I'm adding hacks unless the update is small and doesn't change a lot... If it does change to much then I give up

LOL, I'm glad you got things working. The upgrade is just a bug fix. Some people are having problems. I probably won't upgrade. My system works fine as is.

Started laughing at this post but when I looked up, I found I was one floor below FWC. Persevered through my ignorance and the third time, I apparently followed the directions and:

What A Great Hack! Thanks for another one, FireFly!
:supwink:

OK, I just returned from the dumbass room. I looked at my 2.0.3 template.php and the new 2.2.0 version. I had to move the makeyesnocode line up one. The javascript runs to make the box before it saw the line. It works now. I can't live without that thing.

Very impressed.

Thanx again old buddy.

Nice, Chen!

Just something: when I edit twice the same template and save it with the 'return to this...' = on, I get in the body of textarea Array instead of the full template text I just saved.

Just seems it looses some brakets value ...
Note: new template is actually saved as 'Array', because if I exited and re-edit, this text is the only existing within body (and even into db)...

I dupe-checked the hack just applied and seems having followed your instructions literally.

Thanks a lot.
Bye

Jawelin, that's odd, I've been using this hack for 4 months already and never faced that problem! Do you mind sending me your template.php file by e-mail, so I could have a look and try it out? Thanks.

[Jawelin]

It's coming.
Thanks a lot.

P.S.: I think made some mistake near 'few rows below' ...

[DelusionalMind]

nice

will be installing in a few

Great little hack... Really useful.

Kept trying to make this work over and over again on my testboard without success - until I descovered I was actually editing the file on the live site... that's what you get for hacking at 3.30 in the morning... *sigh*
