Making a Link Button

Wednesday 18 August 2004 9:37:12 am

I'm trying to make a link button to link to a "full view" of an object.

This is the link:

<a href="{$:item.path_identification_string|wash}">view full record</a>

This is the button I was trying to apply the link to:

<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="{$:item.path_identification_string|wash}">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="View">
</FORM>

and

   <input type="hidden" name="RedirectURI" value="{concat("/view/",$:item.path_identification_string|wash,"/")}" />
   <input class="button" type="submit" name="ViewButton" value="View" />

Yep, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. In my example, the link code performs the same function.

These both work fine.

<a href="{$:item.url_alias|ezurl}">full view link</a>
<a href="{$:item.path_identification_string|wash}">view full record</a>

This isn't working.

<form action={$:item.url_alias|ezurl}>
<input type="submit" value="Full view button" />
</form>

It links me to content/action.

It is a nested form. It's a set of buttons, used for View, Edit, Delete.

	<form method="post" action={"content/action/"|ezurl}>

	{* View Full Record Button needs to go here *}

	{* The link that works *}
	<a href="{$:item.path_identification_string|wash}">view full record</a> 

	<input class="button" type="submit" name="EditButton" value="{'Edit'|i18n('design/standard/node/view')}" />
	<input class="button" type="submit" name="ActionRemove" value="{'Delete'|i18n('design/standard/node/view')}" />
	<input type="hidden" name="ContentNodeID" value="{$:item.node_id}" />
	</form>

I was thinking about creating a new button so as to follow the format for the edit and remove buttons, but I think I may just use the link, as this seems like (edit: unnecessary) gold plating.
