+/- Button for Data Entry

[sangwell]

I am new to SguarCRM, would appreciate some help here for adding +/- button for data entry, example would be the default Email input under Account module which have this + button allowing to enter multiple entries.
Please refer the screen shot I have shown.



Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I realized for test purposes a similar module.
With the + button you can add new fields in a separate menu and with the - button you deleted it.
The design in the screenshot is not very nice (it was only a test)
Is such a solution suitable for your purposes?

That is the exact solution I am looking for. Sorry for the bad screenshot.

Thanks.

Hi,
I will explain the solution with the help of my homepage example.
Let's assume that you want to add such a homepage on the contacts screen.
The following things you have to do
- Studio: add a new Textfield, e.g. 'field_homepage': Also place it under Layouts\EditView + DetailView
- Module Builder: Generate a simple module (Type basic) and add a new field with the name 'relate_id' (This is important because this name is already used in the sugar code and will automatically store the needed contact_id).
- Deploy the new module
- Changes to custom\modules\Contacts\metadata\editviewdefs.php
array (
0 =>
array (
'name' => 'email1',
'studio' => 'false',
'label' => 'LBL_EMAIL_ADDRESS',
),
/* TESTCB Homepage */
1 =>
array (
'name' => 'cb_homepageurl_c',
'customCode' => '<p><a href="index.php?module=CB_CB_Homepage&action=EditV iew&return_module=Contacts&return_action=EditView& return_id='.$_REQUEST[record].'">
<img src="custom/modules/Contacts/Add_Button.JPG" style = "border:none;"></a><br><br>{$fields.cb_homepageurl_c.value}',
'label' => 'LBL_CB_HOMEPAGEURL',
),
/* TESTCB ENDE */
),
- Logic Hook Example: custom\modules\Contacts\logic_hooks.php
$hook_array['after_retrieve'][] = Array(1, 'getURL', 'custom/modules/Contacts/CBHomepageHandling.php','CBHomepageHandling', 'CB_getURLs');
- Generate new file custom/modules/Contacts/CBHomepageHandling.php and implement the needed get function.

I hope this helps you and I didn't forget something.
