Jtoolbar MVC function - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello all,

i have been attempting follow joomla 2.5 component development tutorial code joomla 3.0. have made way step 9/version 0.0.9

"developing model-view-controller component/2.5/adding backend actions"

the issue run tutorial shows how create 1 backend action utilizes form display data altered edit button triggers new form make further adjustments before sending original view.

this way more complex intend on making application.

what accomplish - have 1 view "config/view.html.php & config/tmpl/default.php" has controller "config.php"

in view.html.php setup toolbar button

code: select all

jtoolbarhelper::apply('config.save');


to knowledge working correctly, because when click it triggers controller "config.php" have save button dumps "$_post" screen

code: select all

public function save()
{
   var_dump($_post);
}


-------------------my intent -------------------------

i $_post being sent controller stored in simple database table , message appear on screen stating information has been saved.

-----------------what know------------------------

i know how create $db function take input , insert db table.

i know how display message screen

-----------------what need know -----------------

i need know how have controller pass data proper model class make save button work

and need know how display same screen once information has been saved $db.

---------------just in case--------------------

the form

code: select all

<form action="<?php echo jroute::_('index.php?option=com_mycomp&view=config'); ?>" method="post" name="adminform" id="adminform">

        <input id="appkey" name="appkey"></input>

   <div>
      <input type="hidden" name="task" value="" />
      <?php echo jhtml::_('form.token'); ?>
   </div>

</form>


-----------------------------------------------------------------

i have been trying figure out weeks, have been unable find documentation joomla 1.5 1.6 1.7 2.5 or 3.0 shows how simple.

i have looked through many core components, of them use jmodeladmin send data form instead of dealing data , display same view.

i figured out missing step. after send data model in case jmodelitem store data in db use $_request determine page button clicked on allow me use following code direct oringal page instead of "editing view"

code: select all

$link = 'index.php?option=com_mycomp&view=config';
      
$this->setredirect($link, $msg);
