relationship textfield

[sk1983]

is it possible to make an relationship between an dropdown list an a textfield.
for example: see the module opportunities edit layout, you have the sales-stage, if you select one, then you get an other number in the probality field. that kind of thing is what I search. But then only if you select a word in the dropdown-menu that it also displays in the textfield.

is this possible?? so yes? can anybody help me?

greets,

Stefan.

Hi, Stefan,

It is right possible.

Take a look at the modules/Campaigns/metadata/editviewdefs.php

The field campaign_type hsa a displayParam attribute with a javascript option.
Assign the onchange value to a script which modify the style visibility of the textfield.
Cheers.

While not exactly what you described, you will find this Wiki article written by DragonflyMaster helpful. It details how you can make one dropdown dependent on another dropdown.

can one of yours not tell me were I can find the code of the opportunity of the dropdown menu sales => probality textfield. this is exactly what I looking for, so that you can select an item at the dropdown menu and it shows also in the textfield. What I saw in the wiki is of 2 dropdown menu's. I don't know of this the same is?

greets,

Well it's not exactly the same thing, but it can be adjusted to work with one dropdown and one textfield.
Actually I must have such an example somewhere...
I'm gonna look at my files and post here.

Hi DragonflyMaster,

thanks, what I exactly want is to make an Custom dropdown menu and if you select some items that it shows in the subject textfield of the notes module.

OK, I' ve found my code to drive a textfield from a dropdown
I create this inside the Accounts module. Let'see the steps I made:

1. In Studio I created custom dropdown myDD and custom text field myTXT, saved and added both new fields to editview
2. Added only myTXT to detailview.
3. opened <sugar-root>\custom\modules\Accounts\metadata\editviewdef s.php and changed code for myDD with the following:

                1 => 
     
     
     
                 array (
     
     
     
                   'name' => 'myDD_c',
     
     
     
                   'label' => 'LBL_MYDD',
     
     
     
                   'displayParams' => 
     
     
     
                   array (
     
     
     
                     'javascript' => 'onchange="changeName();"',
     
     
     
                   ),
     
     
     
                 ),
     
     
     
               ), 
     

4. Added to <sugar-root>\modules\Accounts\Account.js the following code for ChangeName function:

   function changeName(){ 
     
    		
     
    		if (document.EditView.myDD_c.selectedIndex != 0) { 
     
    				  document.EditView.myTXT_c.value =document.EditView.myDD_c.options[document.EditView.myDD_c.selectedIndex].text;
     
    		}
     
    		else{
     
    				document.EditView.myTXT_c.value = 'Select a value from dropdown';
     
    		}	    
     
    	}

That's pretty much it.
In my case I used three linked dropdowns and three text fields to make address data entry: the user selects a country from the first dropdown, so that the second dropdown shows only provinces for that country; picking from second dropdown makes the third list only the cities inside that province. When user select a city from the last dropdown, data from 3 dropdowns is copied to billing_address_country, billing_address_state, billing_address_city.
After saving, detail view shows those data inside the default textfields for billing address.

Thanks DragonflyMaster,

I'm going to try to code, but only the notes module has no Notes.js, must I just make this file?

Well, it depends: if you have a call to javascript functions, I'd say yes.
The alternative is to put your javascript in editviewdefs.php, but it's a practice I would avoid, expecially with looooong functions.
To include an external .js file, locate/add the following in <sugar-root>\custom\modules\Accounts\metadata\editviewdef s.php and modify as you need:

         'includes' => 
         array (
           0 => 
           array (
             'file' => 'modules/Accounts/Account.js', // can be any path/file, it's up to you
           ),
         ),
