Data Manager customization: editRecordActionButtons

The editRecordActionButtons customization allows you to completely override the form action buttons (e.g. "Cancel", "Add record") for the edit record form. The handler is expected to return a string that is the rendered HTML and is provided the following in the args struct:

• objectName: The name of the object
• recordId: The ID of the record being edited
• record: Struct of the record being edited
• editRecordAction: URL for submitting the form
• useVersioning: Whether or not to use versioning
• version: Version number (for versioning only) of the record in args.record
• draftsEnabled: Whether or not drafts are enabled
• canSaveDraft: Whether or not the current user can save drafts (for drafts only)
• canPublish: Whether or not the current user can publish (for drafts only)
• cancelAction: URL that any rendered 'cancel' link should use

For example:

// /application/handlers/admin/datamanager/GlobalDefaults.cfc
component {

	private string function editRecordActionButtons( event, rc, prc, args={} ) {
		var objectName = args.objectName ?: "";
		
		args.cancelAction = event.buildAdminLink( objectName=objectName );

		return renderView( view="/admin/datamanager/globaldefaults/editRecordActionButtons", args=args );
	}

}
