Implemented suggestion for admin area

[PPNSteve]

I was in the admin today approving a user's edits and noticed when finished, it just takes me to the completed page.. same thing for editing reviews and so on.

It would be nice if it redirected you back to the account edit page you are working on or at a minimum, add a link to take you back to where you were. Otherwise you'd have to search for the user all over again, wasting time and all that.

thanks

Indeed, we have added many similar redirects already, I will add a redirect to the approve function now. It will be included in the next release, but I will also post back here for those who want to hack the file and take advantage of this right away.

Upon investigation I see redirect after approval of a member is already in place. Please provide specific steps how you are approving and NOT being redirected.

Reviews are not supported so I know those are not redirecting.

 

[PPNSteve]

great!

All of the dead ended pages should have redirects or links to either home or where you were depending on which actions you were doing.

 

[Mark]

They already do I need specific URL's.

anything I do (approve, edit users, edit pages, edit languages etc) in the admin redirects me

 

[PPNSteve]

user edits their entry, you go to Approve Edited Members and approve. it then takes you to a dead end.

 

[Mark]

already in place. Line 117 of approve_edited.php has the redirect.

 

[PPNSteve]

for reviews, go to edit reviews, enter a username, click edit for one of the reviews (http://www.ppntop50.com/index.php?a=admin&b=edit_review&id=3885) when finished, it takes you to a dead end:
Edit Review

The review has been edited.

should redirect to review list

UPDATE: this is what it did when I did the approve user edits as well.

as stated above, the legacy reviews module is not supported. But its easy enough to add the redirect

open edit_review.php and find on line 74:

$TMPL['admin_content'] = $LNG['a_edit_rev_edited'];


add this after:

header("refresh:1; url={$TMPL['list_url']}/index.php?a=admin&b=manage_reviews");

 

[PPNSteve]

hmm that's right, I'm forgetting there are no more reviews.. and these are all old legacy stuff. the reviews link back isn't as important now...

thanks

let me know if you spot any pages that dont redirect, happy to fix any we might have missed.

 

[PPNSteve]

already in place. Line 117 of approve_edited.php has the redirect.

it redirects to itself, thus acting like a dead end if there no other approvals pending.
header("refresh:1; url={$TMPL['list_url']}/index.php?a=admin&b=approve_edited");

 

[PPNSteve]

will do.. I may be just splitting hairs here anyway

 

[Mark]

it redirects to itself, thus acting like a dead end if there no other approvals pending.
header("refresh:1; url={$TMPL['list_url']}/index.php?a=admin&b=approve_edited");

that is the intended result, if you have other sites to approve you are exactly where you need to be. If not, you get a message saying no sites to approve.

Unless you have a better idea how to handle this?

 

[PPNSteve]

Let me think a bit about that - you never know I could get a decent idea here.

 

[Mark]

no problem, standing by
