Cancel and Profile/Create
April 18, 2010, 07:27:52 am
On a form invoked by Profile/Create, I would like to have the cancel button send the user back to the page he/she was on previously.

In other words, if a page X contains a link to Profile/Create, I would like the Cancel button on the Profile/Create page to bring me back to X.  I assume that the way to do this is to get the URL for X into the cancel_URL field of the Profile/Create page, but I don't see where or when to do this.

use the buildForm hook to overwrite the cancel_url hidden field and add your own specific cancel url

ensure that your cancel url is valid in case of validation form errors (in which case the refer is from the profile create page itself)

So I'm thinking that reasonable behavior is:
Code: [Select]
If (I'm being invoked from the profile create page) {
    do nothing;
  } else {
    set cancel_URL to the referring page;}

Am I better off getting the page-to-which-I-want-to-return from the Refer http info or from the CiviCRM session stack?

i'd use the http refer variable. a bit more reliable (or so i hope)

I ended up using the context stack, but in the course of doing so, I got curious....

Look at CRM/Core/Invoke.php around line 273.  Why is it pushing the plain 'civicrm/profile/view' onto the stack, as opposed to 'civicrm/profile/view/&gid='  etc, fleshed out with the GID, contact ID, etc.?

That doesn't look like the behavior I would want, but I don't understand the complexity of Invoke.php so I don't want to monkey with it without some adult supervision.

I've been running with this modification for a while with no ill effect.  That does not, of course, constitute testing  ;D ;D
