nuBeforeSave triggered Topic is solved

[toms]

Hi,

There's an Object with type "Select" on a form with an onchange event attached.

The PHP procedure does nothing but output a debug message: nuDebug("Dummy"). Actually, it can be replaced with any other code.

As soon as a value is selected from the dropdown, onchange is fired and hence the PHP code is executed.

Now here is the strange thing: The function nuBeforeSave(), that is declared in the form's javascript, is triggered somehow.

How can I prevent it from triggering? I mean no save action has happend at that time.

Simplified example to replicate the issue:

1. In the Javascript section of a Form add;

Code: Select all

if (nuFormType() == 'edit') {
    nuAddActionButton('nuRunPHPHidden', 'Try me!', 'nuRunPHPHidden("dummy")');   //-- run any php code (hidden)
}

function nuBeforeSave() {
  alert("nuBeforeSave");
}

2. Click the "Try me!" button

3. You'll see an alert 'uBeforeSave' because nuBeforeSave gets triggered for some unknown reason

toms,

I have added a parameter for both nuRunPHP() and nuRunPHPHidden() that will allow you to ignore any nuBeforeSave().

Let me know if they work properly.

Steven,

I just tested nuRunPHPHidden() and nuBeforeSave() doesn't trigger anymore.

However, I find the description on the wiki not very clear. Looking at the source code, I figured that I can basically pass any parameter (like 1 to indicate true)

"string2 : optional, if this 2nd parameter is passed, any nuBeforeSave() function will not be run."

toms,

My fault, it was working the opposite way it was supposed to.

So the wiki should make sense now.

If you have a better explanation of how it works, I'll put that on the wiki.

I've updated Github.

Let me know if it works now.
