How to add a link on a column.

lckamal

I am trying to make a pdf file download
$this->data_table->add_action('file', 'assets/pdf/order/{file}', 'url');

but i get url with no file name like this:
http://localhost/ch/invoice/admin/assets/pdf/order/_______ filename mising here

what is the problem?

Or I should try other way to get the file downloaded from the datatable.

admin

Is the field "file" one of the columns of data being used?

lckamal

yes the field is file in database.

admin

OK, but is it in the returned data set being rendered by the Data_table class. The reason I ask is because it's required to fill in that {file} value. The rendering of that action is done in the Data_tables "_render_actions" method around line 718.

Ok. I have now converted my module as advanced module and now I have problem on route.

I have added a route on my module as so:

$route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/orders/print_order'] = 'invoice/orders/print_order';

$route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/orders/print_order/(.*)'] = 'invoice/orders/print_order/$1';

The first one routes correctly to controller but if I give a parameter id on that controller like so:

invoice/orders/print_order/4

it gives 404.

On my config/invoice_fuel_modules.php I have set the table_actions like so:

'table_actions' => array('EDIT', 'PRINT' => 'orders/print_order/{id}')

How to solve this.

admin

Is the URI path invoice/orders/print_order/4 what you are wanting? What if you use this:
'table_actions' => array('EDIT', 'PRINT' => fuel_url('invoice/orders/print_order/{id}'))

lckamal

I have done same like this and it gives 404 when

'PRINT' => fuel_url('invoice/orders/print_order/{id}')

but if I use:

'PRINT' => fuel_url('invoice/orders/print_order')

it works fine.

I am giving the whole structure of my site:
controller:
invoice/controllers/orders.php

require_once(FUEL_PATH.'/libraries/Fuel_base_controller.php');

class Orders extends Fuel_base_controller {
	
	function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();
		$this->load->library('asset');
		$this->load->helper('ajax');
	}
	function index(){
              //index actions here
         }

	function print_order($id = NULL){
               // if url is: admin/invoice/orders/print_order           //this method is executed

               // if url is: admin/invoice/orders/print_order/{id}    //this gives 404
		echo "I am inside print_order";
	}

}

config/invoice_fuel_module.php

$config['modules']['invoice_orders'] = array(
	'preview_path' => 'invoice/order/{slug}',
	'sanitize_images' => FALSE, // to prevent false positives with xss_clean image sanitation
    'module_name' => 'orders',
    'module_uri' => 'invoice/orders',
    'model_name' => 'orders_model',
    'model_location' => 'invoice',
    'display_field' => 'order_no',
    'instructions' => lang('module_instructions_orders', 'invoice'),
    'archivable' => TRUE,
    'nav_selected' => 'orders',
	'permission' => 'orders',
	'js' => array('invoice' => 'OrdersController.js'),
	'table_actions' => array('EDIT','PRINT' => fuel_url('invoice/orders/print_order/{id}'),'DELETE'),
);

config/invoice_routes.php

$invoice_controllers = array('orders','clients','agencies');

foreach($invoice_controllers as $c)
{
	$route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/'.$c] = FUEL_FOLDER.'/module';
	$route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/'.$c.'/(.*)'] = FUEL_FOLDER.'/module/$1';
}

$route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/orders/print_order'] = INVOICE_FOLDER.'/orders/print_order';
 $route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/orders/print_order/(.*)'] = INVOICE_FOLDER.'/orders/print_order/$1';

$route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/dashboard'] = INVOICE_FOLDER.'/dashboard';

admin

Are you able to navigate to the non routed URL?
invoice/orders/print_order/4
Instead of:
fuel/invoice/orders/print_order/4

lckamal

No!
This is main problem. I appreciate your availability.

I can view if I remove /4

admin

Have you added "invoice" to the "modules_allowed" config array in MY_fuel.php (easy step to forget)?

lckamal

yes. I have added "invoice" on config array

for temporary solution I added a method on modules/fuel/controllers/module.php

	function print_item($id = NULL){
     // actions here
}

still I am waiting for permanent solution on advanced custom modules to add methods and parameters but without 404.
like:

module_name/method/param1/param2

admin

I think the first part of your routes statement is causing the problem. What if you remove the first part of your routes just to see if it works:
foreach($invoice_controllers as $c) { $route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/'.$c] = FUEL_FOLDER.'/module'; $route[FUEL_ROUTE.'invoice/'.$c.'/(.*)'] = FUEL_FOLDER.'/module/$1'; }

I figured it out. The problem was solved using _remap. Here is what I have done incase other come to this difficulties.

here is the code:

public function _remap($method, $params = array())
	{
		if (method_exists($this, $method))
		{
			return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $params);
		}
		show_404();
	}

now you are good to do stuff like codeigniter way:

module_name/method/param1/param2
