What is the best way to add custom button / link to plugin settings page?
I have a plugin that caches a lot of stuff. I would need a button that user can click and plugin cache would get removed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
You could add a partial to the form that triggers an ajax request to some other endpoint (probably a controller).
Thanks @alxy for pointing me in right direction.
However I am checking docs here https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/controllers-ajax#ajax-handlers
And I am unable to get it to work. Where do I put onMethod?
plugins/Code200/imageking/models/settings/fields.yaml
clear_cache:
tab: General
type: partial
path: $/Code200/imageking/controllers/cache/_clear_tmp_files.htm
plugins/Code200/imageking/controllers/cache/_clear_tmp_files.htm
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="button" data-request="onClearTmpFiles">
Clear tmp files
</button>
plugins/Code200/imageking/controllers/Cache.php
<?php
namespace Code200\ImageKing\Controllers;
use Backend\Classes\Controller;
class Cache extends Controller
{
public $requiredPermissions = ['acme.blog.access_posts'];
public function index()
{
//TODO
}
public function onClearTmpFiles() {
die("not working :((");
}
}
In this case you will need to create a widget, because you don't have access to the controller that handles the settings page (its in core).
Thanks, I think I got it working with widgets :)
Anyone else searching for answers check here:
p.s. It would be welcomed if we could add comments to documentation :)
