Locking record while editing by another user in 5.0 CE

[TommyL]

Hi everybody,

is there an implementation in sugar 5.0.X for locking records while editing by another user?

for example:

User ‘A’ queries a Contact in EditView.
User ‘B’ queries the the same Contact in EditView.

Sugar have to forbid User B to open the record in EditView and alterts a message like "no access, user a is editing the record".

Is this function implements? Maybe by setting roles?

Thanks for your answers,

Greets, TommyL

Hi TommyL

Some modules vardef.php has the attribute 'optimistic_locking' which when set to 'true' should lock the record while been edited by someone else.

Thanks andopes, I notice the function for example in Notes module.

I need the implementaion for my custom modules, i set the attribute 'optimistic_locking' to true following by rebuild, but it doesn't working in my custom modules.

I build the modules by module builder and by standard the attribute 'optimistic_lock'=>true (not lockING) is included, is this something different?

Any further idea? Thanks.

Hi TommyL

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extension

If there is another save method in the customBean->save() (for second module) the locking didn't work:

Overwriting the save method in Custom Module 1 like this:

	
function save($check_notify = FALSE){
  $obj = new customModule2;
  $obj->var = "fill me";
  $obj->save();
  return parent::save($check_notify);
}

Then locking doesn't work. Inputs of User B overwrite the changes of User A.

When I replace $obj->save(); Locking is working.

Maybe I have to develop my own locking method, anybody know where the information are saved when more then one users are accessing the same record?

Is there a workaround? Thanks a lot.

Cheers, TommyL

Hi TommyL

According to documentation the optimistic lock works for editing records from EditView, so if you edit a record from another module the optimistic should not work.
