May I share a helper function borrowed from RoR, that renders a button
which is inline by default (meaning you can put it anywhere on web
page just like a link, no line feed will happen) but you can set any
style. Put it somewhere to models directory. Call it from your
template code as e.g.
{{=BUTTON_TO(T('Change Avatar'), URL
(request.application,'default','user/change_password'))}}
If users find this useful I can port more helpers from RoR, and
Massimo could tell us where it is best to put them - maybe in modules?
# similar to Rails button_to
def BUTTON_TO(name, uri, confirm=None, style="display:inline;margin:
0px;", target=None):
if target:
c = confirm and ("return confirm(\"%s\");" % confirm) or ''
f = FORM(INPUT(_type="submit",_value=name),
_style=style,
_onclick="javascript:" + c + target + ".location='" +
uri +"';return false;")
else:
f = FORM(INPUT(_type="submit",_value=name),
_style=style, _action=uri,
_onclick=confirm and ("javascript:return confirm(\"%s
\")" % confirm) or None)
return f
# similar to Rails button_to but calls javascript prompt
#prompt parameter must be a tuple of text and suggested value
#uri must have GET params part because what user entered into prompt
dialog is passed to server thru uri
#e.g. uri='www.com?x=' or uri='www.com?x=100&y='
def PROMPT_TO(name, uri, prompt=('Enter value', '0'),
style="display:inline;margin:0px;", target=None):
c = prompt and ("promptValue=prompt(\"%s\", \"%s\")" % prompt) or
''
if target:
f = FORM(INPUT(_type="submit",_value=name),
_style=style,
_onclick="javascript:%s;
%s.location='%s'+promptValue;return false;" % (c, target, uri))
else:
f = FORM(INPUT(_type="submit",_value=name),
_style=style,
_onclick="javascript:
%s;document.location='%s'+promptValue;return promptValue==null;" % (c,
uri))
return f
def SCRIPT(scrpt):
return XML("<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\n" + scrpt +
"\n//--></script>")
