Add a custom action control

For more about the parameters of add_action, you can read the add_action method documentation.

 
function offices_management_with_actions()
{
    $crud = new grocery_CRUD();
 
    $crud->set_theme('datatables');
    $crud->set_table('offices');
    $crud->set_subject('Office');
    $crud->required_fields('city');
    $crud->columns('city','country','phone');
 
    $crud->add_action('More', '', 'demo/action_more','ui-icon-plus');
    $crud->add_action('Photos', '', '','ui-icon-image',array($this,'just_a_test'));
    $crud->add_action('Smileys', 'https://www.grocerycrud.com/v1.x/assets/uploads/general/smiley.png', 'demo/action_smiley');
 
    $output = $crud->render();
 
    $this->_example_output($output);
}
 
function just_a_test($primary_key , $row)
{
    return site_url('demo/action/action_photos').'?country='.$row->country;
}

And the result will be:

Note: The below example is an iframe so it might appeared with a scroll bar. If you like you can view the example on a new tab

You can use add_action with the flexigrid theme also. But remember you MUST add an image url to have good result.

Below I just copied the functions that I used for the actions:

 
function action_photos()
    {
        //Just a quick filtering of $_GET 
        $country = preg_replace("/([^a-zA-Z0-9\.\-\_]+?){1}/i", ' ', $_GET['country']);
 
        echo "<div style='font-size:16px;font-family:Arial'>";
        echo "Just a test function for photos button and country: <b>".$country."</b><br/>";
        echo "<a href='".site_url('demo/offices_management_with_actions')."'>Go back to example</a>";
        echo "</div>";
        die();        
    }
 
    function action_more($id)
    {
        echo "<div style='font-size:16px;font-family:Arial'>";
        echo "Just a test function for more button and id: <b>".(int)$id."</b><br/>";
        echo "<a href='".site_url('demo/offices_management_with_actions')."'>Go back to example</a>";
        echo "</div>";
        die();
    }
 
    function action_smiley($id)
    {
        echo "<div style='font-size:16px;font-family:Arial'>";
        echo "Just a test function for action button smiley and id: <b>".(int)$id."</b><br/>";
        echo "<a href='".site_url('demo/offices_management_with_actions')."'>Go back to example</a>";
        echo "</div>";
        die();
    }
