5.0c (or d) - One-to-Many Relationship problems

[jim.thornton]

Okay... I followed the wiki that was suggested to me (but I didn't do the last step "Code Changes" because it said if using 5.0b then it has already been fixed. Please tell me if this is wrong.

I've added a custom module that will be used to track addresses so that I can have a history of addresses for the client. I have a field where I can set it to Current or Previous.

When in the client details view, I scroll down and will see the subpanel. I can click on Create and it will go to the edit view of the new module and I can add an address. The problem is that when I click on the "Create" button, I want it to pre-populate two fields. The first is the "Client Name" of where I just came from (so I don't have to manually do it), and then I would like it to pre-populate the "Date-Modified" field with the current date.

Can somone pleaes tell me how to do this?

I have attached s a screenshot of the subpanel and the edit view... I forgot to mention that the layout does't look right (the fields in the subpanel are suppose to be 10, 30,10,10,15,15,5,4 % width) and it looks like they aren't.

Hi Jim,

For get the Client Name field in EditView you can put a code in your Custom Module Module:

In modules/<NAME_OF_MODULE>/views/view.edit.php

 <?php
 
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');
 
class NAME_OF_MODULEViewEdit extends ViewEdit{
 
    function NAME_OF_MODULEViewEdit() {
         parent::SugarView();
    }
 
     function display(){
        $this->ev->process();
 
        if (empty($this->ev->focus->id) && isset($_REQUEST['parent_type']) && ($_REQUEST['parent_type'] == 'Client' && isset($_REQUEST['parent_name']) && isset($_REQUEST['parent_id']))) {
            $this->ev->fieldDefs['client_name']['value'] = $_REQUEST['parent_name'];
            $this->ev->fieldDefs['client_id']['value'] = $_REQUEST['parent_id'];
        }
 
        echo $this->ev->display();
     }
}
?>  

And the width take a look in /modules/<NAME_OF_MODULE>/metadata/subpanels/default.php

        if (empty($this->ev->focus->id) && isset($_REQUEST['parent_type']) && ($_REQUEST['parent_type'] == 'Client' && isset($_REQUEST['parent_name']) && isset($_REQUEST['parent_id']))) {
            $this->ev->fieldDefs['client_name']['value'] = $_REQUEST['parent_name'];
            $this->ev->fieldDefs['client_id']['value'] = $_REQUEST['parent_id'];
        }
 
        echo $this->ev->display();
     }
}
?>  

And the width take a look in /modules/<NAME_OF_MODULE>/metadata/subpanels/default.php

where you have typed $_REQUEST['parent_name'] and $_REQUEST['parent_type']

Should I change those parent_ values or should I leave it exactly as is?

This values comes for default, when you click for new address the sugar go to address page, and pass for $_GET the "parent_name" that is the name of your parent module (Client in this case) and parent_id (Client's id).

You can leave parent_values exacty as it. But you need to see the name of your fields (client_id and client_name) and change it if necessary.
