I created a new Accounts dashlet, based on the current MyAccountsDashlet, modified so it would only display Accounts that had been Favourited (by the manager signed in, regardless of who the account is assigned to) and also in a particular team and industry.

So I copied the dashlet and added the extra custom select:
PHP Code:
    function process($lvsParams = array()) {
    global 
$current_language$app_list_strings$image_path$current_user
    
$lvsParams = array(
                            
'custom_select' => '',
                            
'custom_from' => '',
                            
'custom_where' => ' AND accounts.id in (select record_id from sugarfavorites sf where sf.module = "Accounts" and deleted = "0" )',
                            
'distinct' => true
                     
);     
        
parent::process($lvsParams);
        }

When configuring the dashlet, I turned off 'My Records' as I knew that would have restricted it to Accounts assigned to the manager, which we don't want.

I thought that would have worked, but when I looked at the Sugarcrm.log file to see what was executed, this is the full SQL statement:

PHP Code:
SELECT  DISTINCT  accounts.id accounts.name accounts.phone_office accounts.date_entered accounts.assigned_user_id  sfav.id is_favorite  FROM accounts  LEFT JOIN  sugarfavorites sfav ON sfav.module ='Accounts' AND sfav.record_id=accounts.id AND sfav.assigned_user_id='1' AND sfav.deleted=0  where ((accounts.team_id IN ('East','1','West')
) AND (
accounts.industry IN ('Transportation')
)) AND 
accounts.deleted=AND accounts.id in (select record_id from sugarfavorites sf where sf.module "Accounts" and deleted "0" ORDER BY accounts.date_entered DESC LIMIT 0,

This was a spanking new installation of Sugarcrm Pro, used purely locally for testing, so I had included all the sample data, and I was logged in as user 1.

It looks like Sugar added an extra Join in, that I didn't want.

Is there an easy way of completely customising the SQL executed in a dashlet, rather than just adding an extra condition?
