add Email1 field in sidequickcreate view

[mikrob35]

Hi all,

In Sugar5.1, my Accounts module uses a email1 field (so that the email adress is automatically chosen when I click on "compose E-mail"...).

This is the only field that I can't add to the SideQuickCreate view trough the \modules\Accounts\metadata\sidecreateviewdefs.php file.

In this file, I tried to add :

 array (
            'name' => 'email1',
            'label' => 'email1',
          ),

as I use successfully in \custom\modules\Accounts\metadata\editviewdefs.php but the field won't appear (just its name)

I aslo tried to use the different e-mail related vars present in \modules\Accounts\vardefs.php ('emails' , 'email_addresses', 'email_addresses_primary', 'account_emails') but without a result (the 2 first show a http type field and the 3rd nothing)

I guess it is because email1 is a "native" field (ie not a custom one) but the \include\SugarObjects\templates\company\vardefs.ph p file where it is defined did not bring me to a solution...

I also thought of defining an extended vardef, but I can't think of an extra param which could make this email1 field appear in the sidequickrectae view.

Would anybody have a solution or idea to solve this issue?

Big thanks in advance.

OK. I found the solution to this problem.

I just copied this code extract from Contacts\metadata\sidecreateviewdefs.php to Accounts\metadata\sidecreateviewdefs.php

array (
     array('name'=>'email1', 'customCode'=>'<input type="text" name="emailAddress0" size=20><input type="hidden" name="emailAddressPrimaryFlag" value="emailAddress0"><input type="hidden" name="useEmailWidget" value="true"><script language="Javascript">addToValidate("form_SideQuickCreate_Contacts", "emailAddress0", "email", false, SUGAR.language.get("app_strings", "LBL_EMAIL_ADDRESS_BOOK_EMAIL_ADDR"));</script>'),
    ),

Strangely enough, this trick doesn't work for the ListView : I can't display the email adresses when I copy this code extract from \modules\Contacts\metadata\listviewdefs.php to \custom\modules\Accounts\metadata\listviewdefs.php :

	'EMAIL1' => array( 		'width' => '15%',  		'label' => 'LBL_LIST_EMAIL_ADDRESS', 		'sortable' => false,  		'customCode' => '{$EMAIL1_LINK}{$EMAIL1}</a>',         'default' => true, 		),

I anybody finds a way to display clickable email adresses in a Accounts LIstView page, I would be greatly interested.

Cheers.

In anwer to last question, "anybody finds a way to display clickable email adresses in a Accounts LIstView page"

Try go to listviewdefs.php for the module to fix, in the 'EMAIL1 => (array...' change 'customCode' => line to like this below:


'EMAIL1' =>
array (
'width' => '15%',
'label' => 'LBL_EMAIL_ADDRESS',
'sortable' => false,
'link' => true,
'customCode' => '<a href="mailto:{$EMAIL1}">{$EMAIL1}</a>',
'default' => true,
),


(note: you might need to change the listviewdefs.php in /custom/modules/[module to fix]/metadata/listviewdefs.php instead if you've customized the module previously with studio)
