edit the Buttons edit --> update button

Godrules500

Hello, I am trying to use buttons, but I have something interesting that I am needing to do. I want to keep the functionality of the edit button meaning I want it to pop up the same modal. I even want them to hit update the same way. However, I want to intercept it after they hit update. I am needing to get the values so that I can run some calculations after they hit update. Is this possible?

If you just want to modify the data submitted to the server use preSubmit.

Ah. I didn't know that existed. In the code below, is there anyway to do it before new Editor() is called? That way I can do it from the controller level?

  [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get | HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult LoadAdministrators() 
    {
        //var settings = Properties.Settings.Default; 
        var formData = HttpContext.Request.Form;
        using (var ctx = new OldCastle001())
        {
            var test = ctx.administrators.ToList();
            using (var db = new Database("sqlserver", ctx.Database.Connection))
            {
                var response = new Editor(db, "administrators", "administratorsid")
                .Model<administrator>() 
                .Process(formData)
                .Data();
                test = ctx.administrators.ToList();
                return Json(response, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }
        }
    }

The code you have pasted above is C#, while the event I linked to above is a Javascript event. You would need to use the preSubmit event in your Javascript. That will modify the data before it is submitted to your C# controller.
