Stay/Leave Message on Save

[Brian Hogg]

Hi all,

I built in extra fields / meta boxes in the admin panel as part of a theme, and added extra submit buttons so users didn’t have to scroll all the way up to click Publish/Save. Since WP 3.9 there’s now a "stay/leave” popup appearing when the extra submit buttons are used and the description/title has been changed.

I’ve searched around the js a bit and am not seeing where the window.onbeforeunload function is being set, and setting window.onbeforeunload = null; when the extra submit buttons are clicked has no effect. The post does still save when “Leave this page” is selected in the popup. Is there another way to hook in and disable this stay/leave message?

Thanks!
Brian

Hi Brian,

What about hooking a callback to your buttons "click" event and just
triggering a "click" on the WP Save button? That should do the trick in my
opinion, but I haven't tested it.

Hi Nikola,

Yeah, I think a jQuery('#publish').click() will do the trick. There's some logic based on the button clicked (which is passed in POST), but I should be able to fake that by injecting a hidden input.

Thanks!
Brian

In theory it should work. I do remember the logic you're mentioning(I've
seen it before when I was going through core), but I can't remember exactly
where it's located...

Well - give it a try and see if it fixes the problem, if it doesn't we'll
give it another try.
