Add button to view in another bundle?

Can a bundle add a button to another bundles view and make it function?

For example in OroCRM we have Accounts view and the button “Export Grid”. Let us pretend it does not exist in the Account bundle.

Is it possible to create another bundle, include this button there and create the export grid functionality?

Hello, Jowo.

Answer on your question really depends on where you want to put a new button.

If you need to add a grid action (like “Export grid”) then you have to extend/override exisitng grid and add/replace required actions.

If you need to add a general button (like “Create account”) then you have to use placeholders (e.g. this one). In fact there are lots of placeholders in default templates and you can use it to inject your code into any page.

If you need to customize specific page (e.g. view of account) and there are no appropriate placeholder you can extend and override existing template, and put a new button into appropriate block.

I hope it will help you. If you have some more specific case that you are going to implement – feel free to put it here, we can discuss it.

Hello Jowo et Yevhen,

I use the technic with placeholders to add button in page view
Juste adding 2 files in my specific bundle :

• ../MyBundleBundle/Resources/config/oro/placeholders.yml

YAML

placeholders: placeholders: index_navButtons_before: items: actions_buttons: ~ items: actions_buttons: template: MyBundleBundle:specific_rep:buttons.html.twig

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

placeholders:     placeholders:         index_navButtons_before:             items:                 actions_buttons: ~     items:         actions_buttons:             template: MyBundleBundle:specific_rep:buttons.html.twig

• ../MyBundle/Resources/views/specific_rep/buttons.html.twig

PHP

{% import 'OroUIBundle::macros.html.twig' as UI %} {% block navButtons %} <div class="btn-group"> {{ UI.addButton({ 'path': path('my_path'), 'entity_label': 'my label', }) }} </div> {% endblock %}

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

{% import 'OroUIBundle::macros.html.twig' as UI %}   {% block navButtons %}     <div class="btn-group">         {{ UI.addButton({             'path': path('my_path'),             'entity_label': 'my label',         }) }}     </div> {% endblock %}

And It works perfectly :D

Thank you Yevhen

Hi Xavier

How you are showing the button only on view page or top of the grid view but not in create page? Please help me in this regard.

Thanks
Saikat

See https://github.com/oroinc/platform/blob/3.1.15/src/Oro/Bundle/ActionBundle/Resources/config/oro/placeholders.yml – there are different placeholders available for different kinds of pages.

Take a look at placeholder conditions in “applicable” property:
