How do I change the View after a save in 1.6

[Brad Gies]

I'm writing an extension for 1.6 and I think I finally figured out most
of the validation part.. (by the way, I really like how JForm and the
Form rules work).

When I am in the list; I click on the "New" button and get my input
form, fill it out, and click "Save". The entry goes into the database,
but I don't see any way to tell it which view I want it to go to after
the save (at least not an obvious way). It seems to just add an "s" to
the input form view... and I don't have a view named that way.

So... how do I tell it what the List view name is?

I guess I could look for the view name with the "s" at the end and
redirect it in the main controller... but that seems like a hack. How am
I supposed to give it the view name?

Sincerely,

Brad Gies

In your save method you could do a $this->setRedirect from the controller.
TemplatesControllerSource::save might give you the best example to work
with.

I hate to admit this... but it took me about 1/2 an hour of thinking to
get it clear in my mind where to put (override) the save method... and
about 3 minutes to code and test it :). I ended up with this :

public function save($key = null, $urlVar = null)
{
$retVal = parent::save($key, $urlVar);
if ($retVal)
{

$this->setRedirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_doubleadsense&view=adsenselist',
'New item was inserted'));

}
}

Thanks...

What controller class are you extending?

In JControllerForm you can set $this->view_item and $this->view_list.  In JControllerAdmin you can set $this->view_list.
