Add opportunity close to calendar.

[Iggby]

Is there a way to add the close date of an opportunity to the calendar?

I would also like to add some custom dates to the calendar, i.e. when the date is selected it gets automatically added to the calendar so when a user views the calendar you get an instant view of when opportunities are going to close and when other custom dates field items are happening.

Hi all.

It can be done but not in a upgrade safe way.
It requires modify several core files.

SugarCRM 6.0 will have some good improvements in the Calendar. Perhaps one of these are your needs.
SugarCRM 6.0 probably will be released next year, first semester.

But if you really need it right now you can contact us.

All you need is a logic_hook for opportunities at events before_save and after_delete.

At event before_save you insert or update a task(or call or meeting) entry with name 'close opportunity...', date_due = close_date & " 09:00:00", deleted=0 , parent_type ='Opportunities' and parent_id = id of the closing opportunity.

The hook will change the task on every change of the opportunity.

At event after_delete, the task entry must be updated to deleted too.

kuske you just made me happy in this day, but a little question more, where can I add this logic_hook, in which file of opportunity ? I really don't see before_save event in those files

Thanks a lot

ok, give me 12 hours and then come back to this dark corner.

Back again, and needed only 1 hiur to write such a hook.

You can find it in the attached zip file.
Unpack the two contained files to directory <sugar-root>/custom/modules/Opportunities/

Please read the code.
