saveEditTab

Hi all,

Developing some plugins here, and I'm super stumped on something...

If I run some custom code in saveEditTab is there any way to reflect that in getDisplayTab?

In other words, if I'm in the edit profile screen (getEditTab) and I submit the form and then do some stuff with saveEditTab, CB returns me to getDisplayProfile with the mosmsg=Your+settings+have+been+saved attached to the query.

Can I do any more than that? What I'd really like to do is send $postdata that saveEditTab gets to getDisplayTab. Or even better have more total control of what gets displayed after the edit profile form is submitted.

I've tried the userbots but that doesn't work either -- I just can't access the $postdata utilized in saveEditTab.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Anybody have any thoughts on this? (Sorry to bump but I'm truly stumped...)

You can use PHP session or database to store things at saveEdit. If these things exists, then you show them at getDisplay and remove afterwards. This way you can implement basic message passing.

Mikko,

Thanks for the thought. I'll give it try -- perhaps I'll uncover a relatively easy method.

Using sessions will be the simplest method. I've had a similar problem once with a plugin i was building. I believe what you wish to do is to capture the changes made by the user in his settings?

What's the general outline as to how I would do that? I imagine this allows me to access the logged user -- but does this allow me to access their "last action"?

Sort of...as I said, I'm doing some custom code on saveUserEdit. (Specifically, via another plugin I've inserted some extra (optional) form fields into the edit profile form. When the user submits, the saveEditTab intercepts these fields and mails them to the administrator. )

I'm trying to insert a conditional message into the "thankyou" screen (getDisplayProfile with the mosmsg=Your+settings+have+been+saved attached to the query).

I can use $_GET to pull in the mosmsg querystring value before getDisplayProfile, however, without hacking, I can't see a way to add another variable to the query similar to mosmsg.

So it does infact seem that I'll need to set a db "last action" value and pull it in before getDisplayProfile. :blink:
