sfFormButtonsPlugin

The sfFormButtonsPlugin plugin provides a helper that lets you use button tags instead of input ones in common template design cases.

FormButtonsHelper

<?php use_helper('FormButtons') ?>

submit_button_tag

Returns an XHTML compliant <button> tag with type="submit".

echo submit_button_tag();
=> <button type="submit" name="commit">Save changes</button>

echo submit_button_tag('Save this now', array('class' => 'submit'));
=> <button type="submit" name="commit" class="submit">Save this now</button>

button_tag

Returns an XHTML compliant <button> tag with type="button". By default, this helper creates a button tag with a name of $value replacing spaces with underscores, but you can avoid it specifying it in the $options parameter.

echo button_tag('My Button'); // name = my_button_btn
=> <button type="button" name="my_button_btn">My Button</button>

echo button_tag('Update Record', array('name' => 'my_update_button'));
=> <button type="button" name="my_update_button">Update Record</button>

button_to_js

Returns a button that'll trigger a javascript function using the onclick handler and return false after the fact.

echo button_to_js('Greeting', "alert('Hello world!')");
=> <button name="greeting_btn" onclick="alert('Hello world!'); return false;" type="button">Greeting</button>

button_to_url

Creates a <button> button tag of the given name pointing to a routed URL based on the module/action passed as argument and the routing configuration.

echo button_to_url('Delete this page', 'my_module/my_action');
=> <button onclick="document.location.href='/my_module/my_action';" type="button" name="delete_this_page_btn">Delete this page</button>

submit_button_to_remote

Creates a <button> button tag with the given content and value and an AJAX XHttpRequest-Method to submit the form.

echo submit_button_to_remote('Save', 'save', array(
 'url' => "module/action",
 'update' => "SiteElem"
));
=> <button type="submit" value="save" onClick="new Ajax.Updater('SiteElem', '/path/to/module/action', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:false, parameters:Form.serialize(this.form)}); return false;">Save</button>

Options:

• absolute - if set to true, the helper outputs an absolute URL
• query_string - to append a query string (starting by ?) to the routed url
• anchor - to append an anchor (starting by #) to the routed url
• confirm - displays a javascript confirmation alert when the button is clicked
• popup - if set to true, the button opens a new browser window
• post - if set to true, the button submits a POST request instead of GET (caution: do not use inside a form)

button_to_remote_jq

Creates a <button> button tag with the given content and a jQuery call to a remote function.

echo button_to_remote_jq('Delete Item', array(
  'url' => 'module/action?id='.$id,
  'confirm' => 'Sure?',
  'success' => '$('#someHtmlId').remove()',
));

Options:

• success - JavaScript function to call on successfull remote request. (jQuery.remove() for example.)
• url - remote URL to call using jQuery and XmlHttpRequest
• confirm - if set, display a confirmation message prior to remove.
