Account name in calendar view - parent_name doesn't work

[christina]

Hello

I am working on adding 'Account Name' to my meeting entries in calendar view for sugarcrm

I have used this patch as a reference for modifying the code (see code string at the end): calenhance12-351a.zip
(see forum discussion: PATCH: Calendar View Enhancement)

But 'parent_name' apparently returns an empty string for sugar bean meetings - it only works for tasks.
My question is: what should I use instead of 'parent_name' to get to the account name?


Code string, where parent_name is used:
$description = 'class="monthCalBodyDayItemLink">'.$timedate->to_display_time($act->sugar_bean->time_start, false, false).' '.$act->sugar_bean->parent_name.': '.$act->sugar_bean->name;


Best
Chris

I also need to add the account name on the calendar for each task. My users do not like the standard feature that only shows the the title of an activity on the calendar.

Why does the calendar module file not appear in the Field Layout section of admin? Surely this should be a simple case of dragging the required field onto the calender in the same manner as modifying other pages.

If you do have to modify the code can some one post what is required?
