Add new modules to the "Relate to" drop down

[john30043]

I have a custom module that contains subpanel that links to activities, say Tasks. here is how I defined the relationship in vardefs.php for the custom module:

'custmodule_tasks' => array('lhs_module'=> 'CustModule', 'lhs_table'=> 'custmodule', 'lhs_key' => 'id',
'rhs_module'=> 'Tasks', 'rhs_table'=> 'tasks', 'rhs_key' => 'parent_id',
'relationship_type'=>'one-to-many', 'relationship_role_column'=>'parent_type',
'relationship_role_column_value'=>'CustModule')

so if create a new task under custom module's subpanel, I would expect to see the 'CustModule' in the "relate to" dropdown, it did not happen. Where should I look in order to modify that drop down?

Hi, John.

You have to edit the dropdown 'record_type_display' in the studio.

Cheers.

You need to add also new element into 'record_type_display' dropdown.

superman,

when you say "add also new element into 'record_type_display' dropdown", are you talking about the language file?

I did both in studio and custom/include/language/en_us.language.php and added the following section:
$GLOBALS['app_list_strings']['record_type_display']=array (
'Accounts' => 'Account',
'Opportunities' => 'Opportunity',
'Cases' => 'Case',
'Leads' => 'Lead',
'Contacts' => 'Contacts',
'Bugs' => 'Bug',
'Project' => 'Project',
'ProjectTask' => 'Project Task',
'Tasks' => 'Task',
'Prospects' => 'Prospect',
'CustModule' => 'CustModule',
);

I've also cleared the cache files but it still did not show up in the dropdown list,

Ok, we (with Mr. Andre) did a small mistake
Just follow Andre's advice, except for that you need to edit 'parent_type_display' dropdown editor.

Yes, that takes care of it.

What about the relate-to dropdown in History/Notes, are they come from different source?

See vardefs file. Key 'options' indicates what dropdown will be used for that field.
