Hi chathura,

Please clarify, do you want to use standard import dialog and just redirect the user after import completed to another route?
Or you just want to add a simple button with a redirect to the controller that is not related to standard import scenario.

Hi Andrey,

I want to add standard import button and when the user submits redirect to my own controller and then I can process with my custom import process.becouse from the import I’m going to update some table as well.

Thank you,
Chathura

You can solve the problem from another direction.

1) enable standard import for an entity
2) create custom import strategy based on \Oro\Bundle\ImportExportBundle\Strategy\Import\AbstractImportStrategy or one of its child strategies.
There are plenty of examples of custom strategies in the core.
You probably will need to override or extend the afterProcessEntity($entity) method

I’d recommend to start from \Oro\Bundle\ImportExportBundle\Strategy\Import\ConfigurableAddOrReplaceStrategy strategy as it’s fully functional.

As an example, I guess you can use CustomerStrategy.php

Hi Andrey.

Thank you very much for your solution.One more thing.

If I want to add a simple upload button with a redirect to the controller that is not related to standard import scenario.

Then how can add button in view and redirect to the controller?

Thank you,

You can add buttons to “navButtons” block of entity templates, first check templates you want to extend, there can be placeholders so you can add buttons without extending template https://github.com/oroinc/platform/tree/master/src/Oro/Bundle/UIBundle#introduction-to-placeholders

If there are no placeholders defined in navButtons section, you can override the template on an application level, check the Symfony documentation how to do this https://symfony.com/doc/2.8/templating/overriding.html
