Hello!

I’ve got a question. I want to make a button to possibly bookmark every page of the site.
I don’t really know how can i start that.

It should work like this: Page–>button add to bookmark–>action with a form to put a personal title–> put the title and the url to the database.

So i have to have a variable wich changes on every page and then passe it with the action.

Sorry for my english

And a big thanks!

You don’t need to store the current URL in a variable. You can use javascript to obtain the url.

Code: Select all

window.location.href

Just pass this back to your action.

Hi Steve,

Thx for the answer, but i’m not sure i really understand. I can put javascript in url from actions.ini? How does that work exactly if my code is like this:

Code: Select all

[add_favoris]     url="{$app->url('-action=add_favoris&cur_url=')}"

thanks a lot for your work

You can get the current url in the actions.ini file with

Code: Select all

$this->url('')

But I might suggest getting the URL of the requesting page inside your actual action via the HTTP_REFERER environment variable. That might be a little cleaner.

Tank’s it actually works with the HTTP REFERER and it was easy to do, i can me dumb

I’ve got an other question, not with the URL but it is with my bookmarks too.

I’ve got a list into the block__after_left_column, with my bookmarks. Every bookmark can be deleted. So i’ve got this in my ApplicationDelegate

Code: Select all

`function block__after_left_column() {
        $auth = & Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();
        $user = & $auth->getLoggedInUser();
        if (!$user)
            return Dataface_PermissionsTool::NO_ACCESS();
        $id_account = $user->val(‘ID_Account’);
        $favoris = df_get_records_array(‘Favoris’, array());
        echo ‘<div style="width:120px; float:left; margin:20px; padding:10px; border:1px dotted #CCC">’;
        echo ‘<p>Vos favoris</p>’;

        for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($favoris); $i++) {
            $fk_account = $favoris[$i]->val(‘fk_account’);

            if ($fk_account == $id_account) {
                echo ‘<li>’ . ($favoris[$i]->getTitle()) . ‘
                    <img src=”./images/delete.png” alt=”delete_fav”align=”right”/></li>’;
            }
        }
        echo ‘</div>’;
    }`

The problem is that the function deleteFavoris is executed by default, in every page!! Dunno why. Can you explain me something i’ve missed ?

Once again, sorry for my english!

Thx dude!

Alan

Looks like you’re mixing up server side code with client side code. All PHP will be server side code. This means it is executed when the page is created and cannot specifically respond to any user events like “onclick”. You have tried to assign the php deleteFavoris() method to an HTML onclick handler, which won’t work. You can only attach javascript to onclick handlers.
