Code snippets

[eitrix]

Hello everyone,

since we all love out sugar so much, i would like to propose a topic for sharing well documented code snippets. I have been on forums some time now and i am really disappointed by the organisation and how much effort is putted into this. All interested developers are welcome to submit either here in post or contact me throe my website www.eontek.rs or on private here to exchange email/s, with the code snippet and i will wrap it up and post it here so everyone can understand.

I will also be deploying to community later on the package of code snippets if idea works out.

Please follow these guide lines:

-What we want to achieve
-Is it upgrade safe
-Correct path and name of file needed to be changed
-Pass detailed code snipped with comments of changes and what they actualy do
-limitations if any

Please keep this topic organised and don't post help requests. There are forums for that

Goal: make a field in subpanel clickable, to show detailview of that record
Upgradesafe: Yes
Files: copy /modules/module_that_is_subpanel/metadata/subpanels/delaut.php to /custom/modules/module_name/metadata/subpanels/default.php

Add following code to the field you want to be clickable

 // sometimes adding 'link' => true works also
'widget_class' => 'SubPanelDetailViewLink',
'module' => '<Add Module name here>',

Make data for custom modules importable (Sugar 5.2), replace <Module Name> with your module name:

modules/<Module Name>/<Module Name>.php:

 class <Module Name> extends <Module Name>_sugar {
// add this line:
var $importable = true; 
  

Create file with random name in folder: "custom\Extension\modules\<Module Name>\Ext\Menus":

 <?php
 
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
 
if(ACLController::checkAccess('<Module Name>', 'import', true)) $module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Import&action=Step1&import_module=<Module Name>&return_module=<Module Name>&return_action=index", "Import","Import", '<Module Name>');
 
?>

Goal: create a new record of any module in logic hook

Steps: Create a logic hook. In the file where you define the function for logic hook use the following code to replicate making a new object (record) and saving it.

 <?php
    
class CreateCall{

// function we call in the logic hook definition, for our example i used creating call after making contact
    
function callManager(&$bean, $event, $arguments) {
    
    // as contact you can create any other object of any other module

// create a new Call object (represents a record)
        $call = new Call();
// fill in record data
        $call->assigned_user_id = "1";
        $call->assigned_user_name = "Administrator";
        $call->name = "call manager";
        $call->direction = "Outbound";
        $call->status = "Planned";
        $call->date_start = "25/08/2010 18:45";
        $call->duration_minutes = "15";
// this values can also be taken from db as well as any other value, just example
        $call->team_id = "3d6f0dab-6e7d-c801-b2e9-4c73b6226647";
        $call->team_name = "Administrator";
        $call->description = "please call your manager and superior and report for work!";
        
// this is called in the end to save entry, and your new record in Calls will be created with data above
        $call->save();

  }

}

?>  

It should be upgrade safe unless of course you want to populate fields in Call that does not exist.

Just wrote, create a custom view for a module. Read mroe here:

Nice article on 'Creating custom view for SugarCRM module'. It works well with my 6.0.1 installation.

Two things to add:

1st) Menu.php: The added line needs an additional module-name-parameter at the end:
if(ACLController::checkAccess('semi_Metadatas', 'edit', true)) $module_menu[]=Array(
"index.php?module=semi_Metadatas&action=semi_Admin isterMetadata", "Administer metadata",
"Createsemi_Metadatas", "semi_Metadatas");

2nd) The system needs a small icon image named "Createsemi_Metadatas.gif" which has to be placed in the custom/themes/default/images directory. Otherwise you get an error in the logfile, e.g.:
11/10/10 14:59:28 [3072][1][WARN] Image Createsemi_Metadatas.gif not found

Btw: It would be great if you could add the information to your articles on which SugarCRM version you have tested the code snippets.
