add another action button to enquire form [message #2624]

Hi,

I would appreciate your advice regarding the following:

- I want to add another action button for a selected item from my "components" table. Thus, user selects an item from the "components" table and now has 2 buttons, "copy" and "close". The third button ("visualize") will permit him to launch an external program (e.g. Autocad) to visualize the selected item. The launched program will have as argument a filename path stored in the database for each component.

Please help with some hints, regarding the steps/.inc file to modify in order to achieve this. ... especially how to access the filename which is a column in the components table.

Thanks!

You cannot add any exta buttons to the action bar, only the navigation bar. You simply create a new task to do what you want, then you add it to the list of navigation buttons for the relevant parent task.

I assume you know how to launch an external program in PHP and pass parameters to it.
