Hello Steve,
Could you help me ? I need to have a default action according to the authentification and the username.

I tried several things with index.php and DelegateApplication.php without success ?

Thank you

Jean

Eventually I found the solution with the after_action_new (http://xataface.com/documentation/how-to/after_action_triggers)

So in tables/demandes/demandes_particuliere.php I added :

Code: Select all

class tables_demandes_particulieres {

function after_action_new (&$record) {
$lusager =$this->getUser($record);
$usager=$lusager->val('username');
if ( @$_REQUEST['-table']=='demandes_particulieres' AND $usager=='demande'){
$url="http://lintranet/fibre/index.php?-action=new&-table=".$_REQUEST['-table'];
        header("Location: $url");
            exit;
}
}
function getUser(&$record){
  $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();
    $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();
return $user;
}
}

It works fine!

Hi Jean,

Sorry.. must have missed this post.

Your solution looks good for redirecting after adding a new record. The next release of Dataface will include a triggerf called "beforeHandleRequest" which will allow full control over things like default actions.... The current version leaves you to your own devices to achieve this sort of thing.

One possibility is to add some code to your getPreferences method to check for -action, and change it to a default depending on the user.

e.g.

Code: Select all

function getPreferences(){
    $app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
    $query =& $app->getQuery();
    if ( !$_REQUEST['-action'] and !$_POST ){
        if ( isAdmin() /* this is a custom function defined elsewhere */){
            $query['-action'] = 'admin_home';
        } else {
            $query['-action'] = 'default_home';
        }

    }
    return array();
}

Hi Steve,
No problem, thank you. I keep your code for my next app, il will be easier to apply when I'll have several tables.
Kind regards
Jean
