[FLOW3-general] Edit Form with two seperate target actions

[Jan Greth]

Hi John,

thanks, now it works. And for anyone else who has the Problem, see my 
(now working) Code below:



/*** FORM (Resources\Private\Templates\Location\Edit.html)*************/
<f:form action="update" object="{location}" name="location">
         <ol>
                 [ ... Other Fields ... ]
                 <li>
                         <f:form.submit class="btn btn-big" 
value="Speichern und zurück" name="saveAndBack" />
                         <f:form.submit value="Speichern" 
name="saveAndBack" class="btn btn-big"/>
                 </li>
         </ol>
</f:form>
/**********************************************************************/





/**** Action in Controller (Classes\Controller\LocationController.php)*/
/**
  * Updates the given location object
  *
  * @param \JPG\Trainings\Domain\Model\Location $location The location 
to update

  * @FLOW3\Validate(argumentName="saveAndBack", type="NotEmpty")
  * @return void
  */
public function updateAction(\JPG\Trainings\Domain\Model\Location 
$location, $saveAndBack = 'default') {

         if(($location->getLan() == '')||($location->getLat() == '')) {
                 $this->findCoordinates($location);
         }

         if($saveAndBack == 'Speichern und zurück'){
                 $this->locationRepository->update($location);
                 $this->addFlashMessage('Updated the location.');
                 $this->redirect('edit', 'Location', NULL, 
array('location' => $location));
         } elseif($saveAndBack == 'Speichern') {
                 $this->locationRepository->update($location);
                 $this->addFlashMessage('Updated the location.');
                 $this->redirect('index');
         }
}
