conditional outcome after saving a record

Archived from the Xataface Users forum.

Depending on a value entered in a form, I want the app to go to different places upon a user clicking ‘Save’. Usually I have no problem with this. However, in this instance, it doesn’t quite work.

Code: Select all

function afterInsert(&$record){       $app =& Dataface_application::getInstance();         $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();         $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();              $lc = $record->val('location_code'); // same as dataframe$val         //print $lc;         $date = $record->strval('date');         $status = $record->val('status');         $query = & $app->getQuery();         $eid = trim($query['eid'],"=");         if ( strpbrk($lc,"X") ) $msg = "El codigo de casa usado en el registro no se encuentra en la base.  Se ha indicado que la ficha debe ser revisada.";         //print $date;         if ( $user ) {            if ( $status == "WORKED" ) {          header("Location: index.php?-table=House_survey&-action=new_related_record&location_code=$lc&date=$date&-relationship=caracteristicas&--msg=$msg");          exit;          } else {          //This isn't working!  Doesn't make sense.  The app goes to house_survey list view, not the new related record form.          header("Location: index.php?-table=Entomology&-action=new_related_record&eid=$eid&-relationship=encuesta");          }       }    }

Basically, when status is not ‘WORKED’ this should loop back to create a another version of the same form, with the same relation. However, it kicks me out to the list of related records already entered.

This sort of thing is better handled in the after_action_edit() method, as the beforeInsert() trigger is called whenever a record is inserted through the API. (many records could be inserted in a single request).

Nonetheless this code should work. You may want to try adding an exit call after your header() (you did that for the first case but not the second).
