Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to add a button (to reload the page or reset the form) next to the submit button on one of my profile forms. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dan

You should be able to do this by creating a custom copy of a profile template as discussed here:

... and then adding <INPUT type="reset"> to the .tpl file in the desired spot ?

Perfect. Thanks Dave!

Hey this method adds a "RESET" button to the form but that reset button only works to clear the form before the form is submitted and the search goes to ?_qf_Search_display=true... in the URL line. After the search is performed the reset button no longer functions to clear the form.

Any thoughts on why and how to fix?

FYI, still using CiviCRM 2.0.x

Reset button "resets" form values to what they were when page was loaded - so if the fields have values, they are reset TO those values. There are stock javascripts you can find online which empty all fields - so you could check around for one of those and try adding it to your form.

I found another way around this to add a link on the resulting Listings Page that reloads the Search Page (instead of just clicking the back button which saves the search criteria and doesn't result in a new search). I've done this on CiviCRM 2.0.

1. Find the Search.tpl file (templates/CRM/Profile/Form/Search.tpl). Make a copy of it and place it in your template override directory.

2. At the top of the file, hard code the path to the desired Profile search page and remove the javascript action.

Example:

Code: [Select]

<div id="id_{$groupId}_show" class="section-hidden section-hidden-border">
       <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.org/civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=#">{ts}New Search{/ts}</a><br />
    </div>

Thanks,
LJ
