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

[Jan Greth]

Hey John,

now I found a working solution. Bit ugly, but it works... :)

Buttons in my form:
/*********************************************************************/
<f:form.submit value="Speichern und zurück" name="saveAndBack" />
<f:form.submit value="Speichern" name="saveAndBack" />
/*********************************************************************/


And the Controller:
/*********************************************************************/
	/**
	 * Updates the given location object
	 *
	 * @param \JPG\Trainings\Domain\Model\Location $location The location 
to update
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function updateAction(\JPG\Trainings\Domain\Model\Location 
$location) {

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

		//Get request arguments
		$args = $this->request->getArguments();

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

	}
/*********************************************************************/

Ugly? Yes, because I'm asking for the value (text displayed) of the 
button. That might be a problem when different languages oder text 
changes are done. But I think, when using the translation handling, I 
can minimize the risk - or?

Bye,
Jan
