Question

I want to save the data instead of restore it when I select another row. How I can accomplish that?

I’ve been testing with this code without any results:

    onSelectRow: function(row_id) { 
        if(row_id && row_id !== last_selected) {
            /*
             * Save row.
             */
            $('#grid').jqGrid('saveRow', ((last_selected !== undefined)?last_selected:row_id) , true, function() {/* OnEditFunction */}, function(response) {
                /* SuccessFunction */
                var row_to_save = ((last_selected !== undefined)?last_selected:row_id);

                success_function(row_to_save, response);

                }, 'http://some_url.com');

            last_selected = row_id;
        }   

        /*
         * Edit row.
         */
        $('grid').jqGrid('editRow', row_id, true, function() {/* OnEditFunction */}, function(response) {
            /* SuccessFunction */
            success_function(row_id, response);

            }, 'http://some_url.com'); 
    },

It could be great if I could be able to fire a success function before the row is saved successfully, so I can show a notification message.

Thanks in advance.

I suppose that you have the problem because one small error in your current implementation of the succesfunc which you use in saveRow or editRow. The method editRow just forward the succesfunc parameter to saveRow, so you will find the detailed description of the succesfunc parameter in the documentation of the saveRow. You can read the following:

succesfunc: if defined, this function is called immediately after the
request is successful. This function is passed the data returned from
the server. Depending on the data from server; this function should
return true or false.

So you should at least include return true; as the last statement of your implementation of the succesfunc.
