I am building a Joomla 2.5 component and have a bit of trouble getting the Delete
button to function properly. Here is a sample code from the view.html.php
file:
if ($canDo->get('core.delete'))
{
JToolBarHelper::deleteList('You Really Wanna Delete that', mycomponentname.delete, 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE');
When I select an item from a dropdown list and click to delete I get the following pop-up:
You Really Wanna Delete that
The problem with this is when I click the option to verify the deletion from the pop-up I am redirected to a 500 error message and the item is not deleted.
Now when I review the Joomla documentation here:
http://docs.joomla.org/JToolBarHelper
I see that JToolBarHelper
is defined in administrator/includes/toolbar.php
. So I went for a visit over to review the deleteList
info there. I see the following code:
public static function deleteList($msg = '', $task = 'remove', $alt = 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE')
{
$bar = JToolBar::getInstance('toolbar');
// Add a delete button.
if ($msg) {
$bar->appendButton('Confirm', $msg, 'delete', $alt, $task, true);
} else {
$bar->appendButton('Standard', 'delete', $alt, $task, true);
}
}
So I have attempted to adjust my script by changing the second parameter $task = 'remove'
to read as remove
rather than mycomponentname.delete
as follows:
JToolBarHelper::deleteList('You Really Wanna Delete that', 'remove', 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE');
This will eliminate the 500 error, but the item is not removed. What am I missing here? My guess is that it has something to do with improperly configuring the mycomponentname.delete
function.
PS- I should add that the 500 error states:
Layout default not found
