my problem is that the only way i know to send mails is in php code according to your step by step guide and i see only a button the runs javascript function.

can you please suggest a solution?

(1) Simplest way: don't addButton but addLink. As HREF use:

mailto:[email protected]

This will open up the installed mail client software, if any, and let's the user write and send an email.

(2) If you need more automated process, addButton, in click-function, use javascript/AJAX to call a custom, serverside script. Pass any values from client to server as payload. In PHP, use standard AppGini mail functions to make use of configured SMTP settings or configured sebdmail settings.

(3) You may Integrate with a SaaS email service provider

dear jsetzer,

thanks for your reply,

i have already configured and used the AppGini mail function.
i only need a button to send the link to the present page (selected ID).
before that i added an action button to footer-extras.php by then the button displays in all tables.
is there a way to not display this button in the other tables?

shay.

This means you already have HTML code for the button which triggers sending an email. Great.

Why not keep it in footer-extras.php but only render the button under given conditions, for example only if current table name == 'YOURTABLENAME'.

Or, as mentioned before, use .addButton or .addLink in specific TABLENAME-dv.js scripts and render the buttons there. If you

already have a working HREF, you can use .addLink().

Shay,

[jsetzer]

is there a way to now the current table name in footer-extras.php?

See thread here:
viewtopic.php?t=3097

TL;DR

Code: Select all

$table_file=basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$tablename=substr($table_file,0, -9);
