Editing a product - Skip the preview, and update immediately

[XxDrAg0nxX]

Is this possible?
I have exhausted all means

Everytime I edit a product,
I MUST click preview,
and a preview pages shows up with the option to "Back", "Update", Cancel"

can i skip clicking preview, and have the update button on the product editing page instead?

It would save some time espically editing a few products at one go :)

TIA :)

Anyone has any idea?

I still havent found a solution

A lot would need to be re-written to make this work ...

When we are re-writting the Admin, we will keep this in mind ...

[XxDrAg0nxX]

Oh you mean we just cant create a save button in the edit product page?

You have to re-write how the image is added to the site for the products_image and then customize the various files that processes the data for the products and that may mean multiple files based on what product types are used ...

lol in the end i paid someone to write a script to solve the problem

Now when I click preview a script runs and it auto saves, save my time :)

I hope you have had lots of extra time to sell things since May, any chance of sharing/contributing your magic script?

If any one else is still looking for this, this is a quick hack. You'll need javascript to do it but it is quick and simple.

in admin/includes/modules/product/preview_info.php

find the </form> tag towards the end of the file and add this right after it:

<script type="text/javascript">
  // auto submit form
  document.forms['<?php echo $form_action;?>'].submit();
</script>

this will auto submit the preview form for you making the product editing a one step process. Haven't tested it extensibly yet for it works for my current needs.
