Save Button not working - new Adminhtml Form

Question

I'm using Magento 1.9.0.1 and i'm currently working over a custom extension.

I've created a custom Edit Form in the admin panel and here is a screenshot of it:

The Save Item button is just like dead. When i click on it just nothing happens, no errors even no page loading/reloading.... just nothing.

The Delete Item button is working fine and it is deleting what it must delete.

Here is the code that i think is responsible for my strugle:

I have in: /app/code/community/VivasIndustries/SmsNotification/etc/config.xml:

Here is what i have in: /app/code/community/VivasIndustries/SmsNotification/Model/Smsnotification.php:

    }

}

So guys can you give me a detailed answer of where my problem is and how i can fix it ?

Why my Save button is just not working and acting like it's dead ?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your module dont seem to follow the default magento standard at Magento - Wiki - Custom Module with Custom Database Table.

Then issue seem to have something to do with your form post action or missing form tag

You seem to be missing this file. View browser source and look to see if you form is present with an id="edit_form"

/app/code/local/<Namespace>/<Module>/Block/Adminhtml/<Module>/Edit/Form.php

<?php

class <Namespace>_<Module>_Block_Adminhtml_<Module>_Edit_Form extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form
{
    protected function _prepareForm()
    {
        $form = new Varien_Data_Form(array(
                    'id' => 'edit_form',
                    'action' => $this->getUrl('*/*/save', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))),
                    'method' => 'post')
        );

        $form->setUseContainer(true);
        $this->setForm($form);
        return parent::_prepareForm();
    }
}
