or-cancel return to index.

[paulj...@gmail.com]

I would like the cancel button in a new-for-user form to take the user to the root of my front-site.

I see examples for passing an object or collection to or-cancel, but I don't see a way to specify a page.

I have an inkling of defining a home-page method for users, but that is probably needlessly complicated.

Any ideas from the group?

Thanks so much!

or-cancel is simply a thin wrapper around `<a>`, so it has all of the
behaviour of a as well as the behaviour documented in the cookbook.
In your case, you can just use it in "dumb mode": <or-cancel
href="&root_path"/>

Thanks, Bryan! I will give it a try.

Thanks for your help with this. I have tried this and I can't get it to take effect.

My form is here: http://pastie.org/4367687

I have tried the following variations on &root_path:

  '/'

  '&root'

  '&root_path'

I have also tried several placements for the line, inside and outside the after-actions block.

Note that this is not an Ajax form - not sure if that makes a difference. I can post the whole page definition if that would be interesting.

In all cases, the Cancel button links to the Transaction Sets index page.

Thanks for any further help.

The problem isn't the href, it's the param name. If you look at
app/views/taglibs/auto/rapid/forms.dryml for your element, you'll see
<or-cancel param="cancel"/>.

So just use:

<cancel: href="&root_path"/>

Yes, the naming is inconsistent with convention, but far too many apps
depend on it staying the way it is.

Thanks so much for your help. I just got back to this and implemented it and it worked great.

Thanks so much, Bryan.
