Hi everybody,

After a little look around I found that the addSaveHandler(handler) js method was still present, but has been moved to the bottom of the editContent.aspx page. Therefore calling the method from a control/data type resulted in an error that described that the method did not exist. After wrapping the call in the jQuery(document).ready(function() { } ); it now works.

jQuery(document).ready(function (){ addSaveHandler(save handler method here); });

I am trying to do the same thing, but while I see that addSaveHandler is defined, my handler never seems to get called.  I am adding it like this.  Any idea why this doesnt pop an alert after cliking the save or publish button?

$(function()
    {
        addSaveHandler(function() { alert("saving??"); });
    });

Did anybody ever find a solution for this?

I'm working on a complex datatype for Umbraco 4 (4.7.1.1), and need to store some data into a hidden field before the editor page is submitted. So what I need is to get informed when "save" or "save and publish" are clicked.

Any ideas ?

Okay, found out with a little more digging.

No idea why, but when "save" is clicked, the save handlers are iterated and executed using eval, so this seems to solve everything:

$(function()
    {
        addSaveHandler("alert(\"saving??\")");
    });

Agree with Steen, this doesn't work as described by Kim.

As a workaround, I'm adding event handlers to the actual save icons :(

  //add onSave handlers
  $(".tabpagecontainer .editorIcon[title=Save], .tabpagecontainer .editorIcon[title='Save and publish']").click(function(){
    alert('saving');
  });

is working on a reply...
