Prompt on Save

[croaker___]

I'd like to create a button which checks a few things and if there's anything wrong, prompt the user and ask
"Save Anyway?" 

The checking would be PHP in the mask and the prompt would be a javascript prompt() I guess.

Anyone got an example of something similar?

Cheers

well if you want to prompt the user to have to give confirmation then i think you need to use:

->requireConfirmation();

here's the source for the function (maybe make your own custom?)

public function requireConfirmation($action = 'onclick', $confirmation_text = true)
{
$action = strtolower($action);
if (!$this->actions) {
trigger_error("you've to call addaction before requireConfirmation", E_USER_ERROR);
}
if ($confirmation_text === true) {
$confirmation_text = 'Are you sure?';
}
$this->actions = $confirmation_text;
return $this;
}

use the 'onclick' function to lead to a separate function to do the checks :)

Hope this helps!

Steve.

Here is a sample of code I use:

$this->build("p4a_button", "save")
        ->setLabel("Save")
        ->addAction("onclick")
        ->requireConfirmation("onclick", "Save Changes? ")
        ->implement("onclick", $this, "save_data");
