Account phone number show in detail view

[lucaspr]

Is it possible to show the phone number of the selected account in detail view? And in the printed case too?

You need to do the following:

• Create an extended vardefs on Cases to add the field 'phone_office', remember to setup this field as a 'non-db' one;
• Create an extended language on Cases to add the label for this new field;
• Create a custom controller for Cases and implement the functions action_detailview and action_editview in order to properly populate this fields based on value from Account field;
• Into editviewdefs of Cases add the following attribute on account_name field definition:

             'displayParams' => 
            array (
              'field_to_name_array' => array(
                'id' => 'account_id',
                'name' => 'account_name',
                'phone_office' => 'phone_office',
              ),
              'additionalFields' => array(
                'phone_office' => 'phone_office',
              ),
            ), 
  

Then go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions

Thanks! Will try to figure it out! I'm not into programming at all so it's going to be though. I lost you at extended vardefs.. That's how good my programming is. But I'll search. If I really can't find it I'll post a message here!

I looked at it. But I think this is going to be a bit to hard for me to do. As said I'm a total newbie to sugar and I have poor programming/developer skills. But I thank you for you answer. The very short answer is yes it can be done! But not for me I guess, or if you would be so kind to guide me through this.... then maybe. I do not use a language pack. For what its worth...
