[thinktodo]

I have installed devtoolkit_0.5,erverything is ok.

\custom\include\utils
there is a DevToolKit folder and DevToolKitManager.php ,DevToolKit.php files.

\custom\modules\Opportunities\metadata\update_drop down_field_defs.php
custom\modules\Opportunities\views\view.edit.php
the update_dropdown_field_defs.php content as follows

<?php
$update_dropdown_field_defs = array(
'opportunity_type' => array(
'' => array(
'lead_source' => 'Cold Call',
),
'Existing Business' => array(
'lead_source' => 'Cold Call',
),
'New Business' => array(
'lead_source' => 'Existing Customer',
),
),
);
?>

but ,when i select 'Existing Business' item,it is blank on lead_source field

There is a miss understanding.
The Update Dropdown extension updates a dropdown field list based on a previous selected options on another field.
The first and second level array are right!
But the third one no!
It seems you want to update the content of the dropdown lead_source based on opportunity_type options selected, right?
But you specified a single option rather than a dropdown name.
Anyway, I have never faced this empty list before.
Try to modify your $update_dropdown_field_defs according to this explanation and let us know.

Cheers

yes,I want to implement that,when i select 'Existing Business' option from opportunity_type field ,then, lead_source field's option is 'Cold Call'.

infact, the name of option the same as dropdown name.

[thinktodo]

could you give me a example about 'opportunity_type' and 'lead_source' ?thanks

The Dependent Dropdown extension does not works this way.
It does not automatically select a specific option on secondary dropdown on selecting some specific option on mandatory dropdown.
It only update the secondary dropdown list (without selecting anything).
This feature you are looking for will be released soon.

I'm looking to do the same thing.

I have a series of dropdowns that depend upon one another in the Cases Module

Case Category
Case Sub-Category 1
Case Sub-Category 2
Case Sub-Category 3

When a user selects a value from the Case Category, it is to select a list of values from Case Sub-Category 1, and so-on.

Here's my view.edit.php

 <?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');    
     
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');
     
class CasesViewEdit extends ViewEdit {
            private $manager;
 
            function init($bean = null, $view_object_map = array()) {
                             parent::init($bean, $view_object_map);
 
                             require_once('custom/include/utils/DevToolKitManager.php');
                             
                             $this->manager = new DevToolKitManager($this);
            }
 
            function display() {
                             $this->manager->display();
                             $this->ev->process();
                             
                             echo $this->ev->display();
            }
            
            function process() {
                             parent::process();
                             $this->manager->process();
            }
}
?>  

Here's my update_dropdown_field_defs.php. Just testing out the Case Category, to Case Sub Category 1 for now.

 
<?php
 
$update_dropdown_field_defs = array(
    'case_category_c' => array(
      '' => array(
            'case_subcategory1_c' => 'case_subcategory1_list',
        ),
        'Bus Stop' => array(
            'case_subcategory1_c' => 'subcategory1_BUSSTOP_list',
        ),
        'Routing' => array(
            'case_subcategory1_c' => 'subcategory1_ROUTING_list',
        ),
        'Safety' => array(
            'case_subcategory1_c' => 'subcategory1_SAFETY_list',
        ),
    ),
);
 
?>  

But I don't see any changes on the front-end. The dropdowns don't change.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Got it working. All I needed to do was check my permissions.

Thanks!
