Custom Module Data in List View

[thinkwelldesigns]

Hello everyone. I 'm a new Sugar user so this is my first post. I think I'm going to find Sugar very helpful in managing my small IT business.

Anyway, I created a custom module to help me manage servers for each contact. It's working well except for the List view, which doesn't have hyperlinks to the Detailed view.



The only way to view the detailed information is to actually edit the record, which I don't all my users to be able to do. I didn't seem to find a setting in the Module Builder / ListView where I can specify that ListView entries are to be links to DetailView. Did I miss something, or isn't this possible with Custom Modules?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you go into custom/modules/YOURMOD/metadata/listviewdefs.php you can add 'link' => true, to the column you want to link to the detail view.

Thank you for your reply! But, I'm scratching my head. My module folder doesn't have a metadata folder - just an "Ext" folder. Does the metadata directory & the listviewdefs.php file need to be created manually?

If you go into studio and save and deploy list view it will create a medadata folder & listviewdefs.php that you can edit

alternatively just create the folder & file

Sorry, forgot to mention that part. Thanks Mike.

Thanks! My first thought was that I had already done it - which I had. So went in to the Module builder and blew away all the changes I had made to Listview, then deployed the bogus stuff, then re-changed it to the Listview I wanted and SHAZZAM - it worked.

Thanks a million both of you for your help.
