I have a page which shows the details of an Event content type item. I added in my second sidebar a block which content a button. Here is a screenprint of what I have so far:
I want to use this button to update the status of the item (a field with machine name "field_event_status"). Before the validation I want to show a confirm popup.
Any help to get this to work?
It appears to me that you should start with using the Flag module, with a so called "global" flag. And configure your flag so that it would show an appropriate "confirmation" whenever such node gets flagged.
Next you could use the Rules module and create a custom rule like so:
field_event_status field), to make it available for further processing in subsequent Rules Events and/or Rules Actions.field_event_status field).With that you have the mechanics (logic) in place, and the only think left is theming the flag link(s) to have them shown as buttons. If you wonder how to make that happen also, then have a look at my answer to "How to add a custom icon or symbol to a flag link?" (i.e. the Option 2 part of it).
If you're not familiar with the Flag module, checkout the set of 8 video tutorials about the Flag module. Especially these tutorials from it:
Refer to Flag's Community documentation for (way) more details.
