JToolbar::save() redirection

I'm going through the Joomla 2.5 tutorial to build a custom component. Now I'm facing an issue on the redirection after using JToolbar::save() or JToolBarHelper::cancel for that matter. By default Joomla wants to redirect to the default layout (from the edit layout). However I don't want it to do that. I want it to redirect back to another view. In Joomla 1.5 I would have done this through adding the function into the controller - something like

function cancel()
{
    //redirects user back to blog homepage with Cancellation Message
    $msg = JText::_( 'COM_BLOG_POST_CANCELLED' );
    $this->setRedirect( 'index.php?option=com_jjblog&view=jjblog', $msg );
}

Now that works beautifully for the cancel function, however for save this is a much more complex thing. If I want to overwrite the url do I have to redirect the controller to the model and then write in all the code for the model interaction? Because that seems slightly excessive just for a url redirection like you would in Joomla 1.5?

OK it didn't need to $this->setRedirect at all. Just needed me to change the value to

protected $view_list = 'jjBlog';

which then sets the redirects of everything back to that list view.

Source link for this is here.

Thanks for all the responses though!!

Hope you have added the save toolbar code with the proper controller name like this

  1. JToolBarHelper::save('controllerName.save');
  2. Create a save function in appropriate controller.
  3. Add the task in the form

  4. Finnally make sure you have added form action withthe corresponding component name.

I think you can use 

global $mainframe;
$mainframe->redirect("index.php?option=com_user&task=activate&activation=".$activation);

If you are overriding joomla's default save function in your custom component like

function save( $task = 'CustomSave', $alt = 'Save' ) // or even same name Save

Inside your controller you can use the CustomSave as the task and use $mainframe for redirect.

or
$mainframe = &JFactory::getApplication();
$mainframe->redirect("index.php?option=com_user&task=activate&activation=".$activation);

Hope this may help you..

You can try this-

In the controller firstly you call the parent save function than redirect to url.

function save(){
 parent::save();        
 $this->setredirect('index.php?option=com_mycomponent');
}

view.html.php

protected function addToolbar ()
    {
        JRequest::setVar ('hidemainmenu', false);
        JToolBarHelper::title (JText::_ ('Configuration'), 'configuration.gif');
        JToolBarHelper::save($task = 'save', $alt = 'JTOOLBAR_SAVE');

    }

controller.php

public function save()
    {  
    $mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();
    $mainframe->enqueueMessage (JText::_ ('COM_SOCIALLOGIN_SETTING_SAVED'));    
        $this->setRedirect (JRoute::_ ('index.php', false));
    }
