I was wondering whether there is a possibility to reload “Content” or “CurrentForm” instead of “CurrentField” (in PJAX terms) when executing a Custom GridField Row Action?
To illustrate the situation a little bit further I have marked the hosting ItemEditForm of my DataObject green and the hosted GridField (with the Custom Row Actions) red.
When I execute the action, an async request is being sent to the GridField (which we know is just a “fancy” type of RequestHandler) with the header X-Pjax: CurrentField. The re-rendered version of the GridField is being returned.
I was playing around with the X-Pjax header as per documentation but regardless of the value, the only thing returned and reloaded was the GridField.
The thing is, I need the whole form to reload since the GridField Action causes a data state change of the hosting DataObject. I cannot expect my users to F5 the page
Is there a best practice way of achieving this or do I have to have “fun” with Entwine?
I had a similar issue in my module cms-actions and the best i could find is to either reload nothing, just the field or the whole page. for actions that require a “page reload” I send a X-Reload header
Seems like a legit solution for your scenario. Unluckily it does not do the trick for me, since the hosting ItemEditForm still won’t re-render. Maybe because I am not dealing with GridDetailForm_ItemRequest but with GridField_ActionProvider. I did not find a way to overwrite X-Pjax: CurrentField so far.
I have a (somewhat hackish) workaround now: Adding the no-ajax CSS class to GridField_FormAction and 302-redirecting to the current ItemEditForm (which is simply a weird way of refreshing in this case).
public function getColumnContent($gridField, $record, $columnName)
{
if (!$record->canEdit()) {
return;
}
$field = GridField_FormAction::create(
$gridField,
'CustomAction'.$record->ID,
'Do Action',
"docustomaction",
['RecordID' => $record->ID]
)->addExtraClass('no-ajax'); // <--- Disables AJAX
return $field->Field();
}
...
public function handleAction(GridField $gridField, $actionName, $arguments, $data)
{
if ($actionName !== 'docustomaction') {
return;
}
// perform your action here
// Return to current form / refresh
return Controller::curr()->redirect($this->myDataObject->getCMSEditLink());
}
