How to create favorites dashlet?

[raynor]

one of our user managers has asked for a new dashlet, similar to My favorites, but he wants to select by assignee.
ie he wants to see which records his team has marked as favorites.

I can't even find the code for the My Favorite Records dashlet.

Any idea where to start?

cheers

(version 6.1.0)

Hello,

You can start from >> modules/SugarFavorites/Dashlets/SugarFavoritesDashlet/SugarFavoritesDashlet.php

d'oh. version control.
my local version was only version 6, and didnt have that folder.
dev and production are version 6.1

I found the dashlet and copied it to the custom folder in dev.
It didn't have any customisation, so I edited the dashlet to set $this->isConfigurable = true;

There was no data dashlet or filtering, so I created sugarfavoritesdashlet.data.php.
The contents are as follows below.
However the filtering is not working at all.
I've done a repair, but although i can now configure it, so that I don't just display my records, the filter settings don't seem to be applying.
I can select a username, but it's not restricting the records to his records only - it still shows mine.

Any tips?


global $current_user;

$dashletData['SugarFavoritesDashlet']['searchFields'] = array( 'module' => array('default' => ''),
'assigned_user_id' => array('type' => 'assigned_user_name',
'default' => $current_user->name,
'label' => 'LBL_ASSIGNED_TO'));
$dashletData['SugarFavoritesDashlet']['columns'] = array('name' => array('width' => '40',
'label' => 'LBL_LIST_ACCOUNT_NAME',
'link' => true,
'default' => true),

'module' => array('width' => '15',
'label' => 'LBL_LIST_MODULE'
),
'date_entered' => array('width' => '15',
'label' => 'LBL_DATE_ENTERED'),
'date_modified' => array('width' => '15',
'label' => 'LBL_DATE_MODIFIED'),

'assigned_user_name' => array('width' => '8',
'label' => 'LBL_LIST_ASSIGNED_USER'),

);
