Magento: Admin form action not correct - php

Question

I want to add a new form to the edit customer page, so far so good, using rewrites to customer_edit_tabs i was able to add a tab and my admin form to the page. Code looks like this.
protected function _beforeToHtml()
{
$this->addTab('extraoptions', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('customer')->__('Extra options'),
'class' => 'ajax',
'url' => $this->getUrl('module/adminhtml_tabs/info', array('_current' => true)),
));
This adds my tab corrently. From there the link on the tabs controller:
public function infoAction()
{
$this->_init();
$this->getResponse()->setBody(
$this->getLayout()->createBlock('module/adminhtml_tabs_edit')->toHtml()
);;
}
This links to my form container on Block/Adminhtml/Tabs/Edit.php
class Namespace_Module_Block_Adminhtml_Tabs_Edit extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form_Container{public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->_objectId = 'id';
$this->_mode = 'edit';
$this->_blockGroup = 'module';
$this->_controller = 'adminhtml_tabs';
$this->_updateButton('save', 'label', Mage::helper('module')->__('Save'));
}
public function getHeaderText()
{
return Mage::helper('module')->__('Extra Options');
}
}
My Block/Adminhtml/Tabs/Edit/Form.php
class Namespace_Module_Block_Adminhtml_Tabs_Edit_Form extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
protected function _prepareForm()
{
$form = new Varien_Data_Form(array(
'id' => 'info_form',
'action' => $this->getUrl('module/adminhtml_tabs/save', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))),
'method' => 'post',
'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'
)
);
$fieldset = $form->addFieldset('extra_options', array('legend' => Mage::helper('module')->__('Extra Options Fieldset')));
$fieldset2->addField('extra', 'text', array(
'name' => 'zip',
'title' => Mage::helper('module')->__('extra'),
'label' => Mage::helper('module')->__('extra data'),
'maxlength' => '250',
'required' => false,
));
$form->setUseContainer(true);
}
protected function _prepareLayout()
{
return parent::_prepareLayout();
}
Everything is fine, I have a new button below the default save customer buttons, but this save button does not update the action, so if i click it, it goes to the default customer/edit/save action, it does not tell me the method does not exist which it should. My guess is that there is something wrong with the container but i have tried three tutorials with little differences to no avail, hope someone can help and even maybe someone will find my code helpful.

Answer 1

In this line of code:
'action' => $this->getUrl('module/adminhtml_tabs/save')
You are telling Magento to look for a module named module, a controller aliased adminhtml_tabs, and a saveAction() method within that file.
You need to figure out where you want to send the user when a save needs to be performed, and then place it there (e.g. the route to your controller->saveAction() method).

Answer 2

I decided to create a new button to save with a custom action. On the container:
$this->_addButton('save', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Save Extras'),
'onclick' => 'document.myform.submit();',
'class' => 'save',
),-1,5);
This did the trick.
