Save and Next in EditView

[njoy]

Hi,

Sugar Open Source Version 4.2.1b
SugarSuite
Contacts Module
MySQL - 4.1.11
Apache 2.0
I have combed the forums for this particular problem and its solution, but it looks like no one has ever come across it yet. What i need is a button in Contacts/EditView that will save the record and redirect back to EditView so that i can implement a sort of Save and Next opration.
In other words rather than bein redirected to the DetailView Page i would like to be back to the EditView page.and the Previous page must be Saved. Can someone please help?

The redirection code is located in /sugarcrm/include/formbase.php. You should see the comment at around line 115. I would think you could change the first if statement at line 116 to an elseif

elseif ----> if($_REQUEST['action'] == "Save"
&& $_REQUEST['return_module'] != 'Activities' .......

Then above there put a new if statement .. something like

if($_REQUEST['action'] == "Save" && $_REQUEST['return_module'] = 'Contacts')
(
$return_action = "EditView';
)


Seems like that would work. Just copy the button code in the module html file something like this: (the Save& Edit can be replaced with a custom App.LBL by adding the labels to the module en_us.lang.php file.

<input title="Save & Edit" accessKey="{APP.LBL_SAVE_BUTTON_KEY}" class="button" onclick="this.form.action.value='Save';return check_form('EditView');" type="submit" name="button" value="Save & Edit" >

Ok i corrected half the problem. The error has vanished.I had made an typing error in
<input title="{APP.LBL_SAVE_NEXT_BUTTON_TITLE}" accessKey="{APP.LBL_SAVE_NEXT_BUTTON_KEY}" class="button" onclick="this.form.action.value='Save';return check_form('EditView');" type="submit" name="button" value="Save & Next" >.

The page does get saved but i'm still not redirected to EditView. Can somebody please help me
