QM+ Inline create button - Return to calling page instead of new resource?

First of all thanks Mikko/maagit for QM+, you did a terrific job! I have been playing with the new inline add resource function of QM+ and it is totally AWESOME!

I use it to add a document with the parent being the current document like so:

<!-- qm-new [*id*] 5 'New block item' -->

By a simple ditto call in the parent i can display all children in floating boxes. Hello dynamic layout!

I have one question however: Is it possible to make QM+ return to the page it was called from rather than to the document I just created?

I have solved it by writing a plugin. It is triggered OnDocFormSave and checks whether the document was being saved with QM+. If it is it forwards to the parent.

I’ve added a check for a specific template I use for page blocks so you can still get the normal behaviour for non-block documents. Probably one should make that configurable by the plugin configuration.

Maybe this is useful to someone else too..

$e = &$modx->Event;
switch ($e->name)
{
    case "OnDocFormSave":
        if (intval($_REQUEST['quickmanager']) == 1)
        {
            $doc = $modx->getDocument($id, 'template');
            $parent = $modx->getParent($id, 0, 'id,template');
            if ($doc['template']== 5)
                 $modx->sendForward($parent['id']);
        }
        break;
}

Thanks I’ll use that instead. It’s certainly more KISS

Ahwell at least I’ve brushed up on my plugin/modx api knowledge wink
