Address book, new button goes to wrong screen

[TSH-2]

Hello,
I’m working on creating a new view for address book.
The end goal
Select view of a contact
when view opens, a new button ‘id card’ is displayed
when clicked new screen opens showing only name and photo
I have added the button with etemplate
in the ‘on click’ I have added the line
menuaction=addressbook.view.idcard&contact_id=$cont[id],850,460
When I click this new button, the new screen does not display
but rather the home page displays. How do I make the association
between the new button and the new screen?
Thank you, Tom

Hello,
I’m working on creating a new view for address book.
…
in the ‘on click’ I have added the line
menuaction=addressbook.view.idcard&contact_id=$cont[id],850,460
When I click this new button, the new screen does not display
but rather the home page displays.

The trickiest thing I’ve found is forgetting to set the
$public_functions variable in your class, (view) so the API doesn’t
allow
access to the function you’re writing.

Based off your URL, you need the following in your ‘view’ class:
public $public_functions = array(
‘idcard’ => true
);

[TSH-2]

Hello,
Thank you for the reply
I’ve been working on the groups suggestions.
I am modifying class.addressbook_ui.php to simplify
things, being careful to comment all lines so I can
pull them out and put them in their own file.

In public functions I added the 'idcard’
class addressbook_ui extends addressbook_bo
{
var $public_functions = array(
‘search’ => True,
‘edit’ => True,
‘view’ => True,
‘index’ => True,
‘photo’ => True,
‘emailpopup’=> True,
‘migrate2ldap’ => True,
‘cat_add’ => True,
‘idcard’ => True, /* TSH allows access to function *idcard */
);

in the function ‘view’ I added a handler for the idcard button
switch ($button)
{
/* TSH handing of button for idcard /
case ‘idcard’:
$sel_options[‘owner’] = $this->idcard();
/ TSH end of button handle for idcard */
case ‘vcard’:
etc…

In a new function I tried a simple echo statement
/* ------------------------------------------ /
function idcard()
{
/ TSH / echo " Point six TSH function idcard ";
}
/ ------------------------------------------ */
The echo does not happen, and the screen still changes to the
home page. I have tried putting in the line
menuaction=addressbook.view.idcard&contact_id=$cont[id],850,460;
which is the same url in the idcard button and the program
freezes.

Thank you, Tom
