Close Item Form on Save was created by Nelson Elliott
How do I make a front-end Item Edit Form close upon hitting the "Save" button? I dislike asking users to click both "Save" and "Close" for a simple form.
I'm sure this is fairly simple, but I'm a total javascript noob and haven't been able to find the answer by searching.
Thanks,
Nelson

Hy Nelson,
this is not a solution, its a wish: I want a 3rd button like joomla: "save&close", cause i dont want always reopen after saving, if i want to work more on it.

Hello Franz and Nelson,
Since you are familiar with overriding (for more info -- getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates ) you need to override itemform.php .
To be more precise the save button is:

Hy Krikor,
1st: You make a good Job in answering all those questions.
itemform is in a modal-window, so i cannot apply another button - right?

Thank you Franz for your kind words.
I don't think that would be optimal (frontend and backend are not the same view) but if you need to add a button you need to copy the behaviour from your k2.js
If you know your way around JS the function starts with

Agh. Not perfectly actually. It seems not to save new items when I close the form with that method. . .

Hello Nelson which method did you follow? the window.close() one or the modal box?

Ach. Sorry. Apparently, I unsubscribed to this thread.
I am currently working on the window. My configuration opens a new window when users click a "New Item" menu item. When they edit items they already created, it opens a modal box.
It would be nice to get both of those functioning in a consistent manner, but for now I am concerned with the window, as adding new items is the most important thing.
