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.

By this:

// a few lines of code here

I mean there are some lines of code there I didn't want to specify.
So yes, that's correct.

Firefly,

in 2.2, this code:

PHP Code:

makehiddencode("group", "$group"); 


seems to be in two places. The first place puts the checkbox in the unedited templates ( but it doesn't work, as you said it wouldn't)

the second place is the one you want.

love this little hack

I keep having trouble posting whole edited .php files. I think it's my software to edit them I am using Editplus 2 but it must be adding something to the end of the document because I'll get a Parse error at the last line of the document. Like I keep getting Parse Error like line 713 with this hack. Can anyone help me?

I use EditPlus2. I'm not having any problem. Make sure you back the cursor up to the last > if there is anything at the bottom of the file. Also, make sure you have the PHP template and settings and syntax installed in Preferences > Files.

What settings do you use, I'm not sure what exactly it's doing but I get a parse error with any code I edit on the last line, I guess could you explain everything out a bit more. thanks again

[LuBi]

This is what the screen looks like, I believe that little thing after the cursor is what causes my trouble. How can I get rid of that?

[LuBi]

Got everything working now, great hack as usual thanks again!
