Hi,

i'm creating CMS module managing some DataObjects using subclass of ComplexTableField. I set custom template file for popup window form like this:

// ...
$table = new ServiceOrdersTableField($this, "ServiceOrders", "ServiceOrder", $section, $tableFields);
$table->setTemplatePopup('ServiceAdmin_popup');

template file ServiceAdmin_popup.ss looks like this:

<form $DetailForm.FormAttributes>

   <fieldset>
      <div id="FirstName" class="field text">
         <label class="left" for="$DetailForm.FormName_Firstname">First name</label>:
         $DetailForm.dataFieldByName(Firstname)
      </div>

      <div id="Email" class="field email">
         <label class="left" for="$DetailForm.FormName_Email">Email</label>:
         $DetailForm.dataFieldByName(Email)
      </div>
      $DetailForm.dataFieldByName(SecurityID)
   </fieldset>

   <% if Actions %>
      <div class="Actions">
         <% control Actions %>$Field<% end_control %>
      </div>
   <% end_if %>
</form>

Form inputs renders ok, but problem is with the action buttons - i can't find a way to display it in custom template.
Default 'Save' button is added to the form in ComplexTableField_Popup constructor, but there isnt any documentation about how to display it.

I'd be glad for some working example of custom template buttons or any directions.
