Adding multiple Fields similiar to the Email +

[bgsfin]

In the basic CRM the email field has the ablility to add 1, 2, 3 entries, etc. You can add as many emails as you want. If I want to recreate that same process for another field how would I do that. My example is children of a client. Some have none, some have 6. I would like to be about to add that variable to the contact record with Name, DOB & SS#. Can this be done? If so how?

Goto Admin>Studio>Contacts

Create custom fields of type text.

Modify the EditView and Detail View Layouts.

AND ... read the manual

This feature is not easily customizable. The current email address logic is a hardcoded one which only works for email address and can not be extended for other stuffs.
So you should need to recreate it by hand.
Just remember the email addresses you fill in the multiple fields are stored into a separated table (emailaddresses) so the field for which you want to implement such feature should be stored into a separated table too.
We had developed a feature to accomplish such requirement.
Let us know if you would like to enjoy that.

I would be very interested too

In another thread I am trying to recreate the same thing by a custom "code" field created by "Enhanced Studio" but in this moment I have some difficulties with Javascript (and in a second step I probably will have even more difficulties with a logic hook that will save and retrieve the fields from a custom database table).
Here is the link to this thread:

Are there other possibilities?
Thank you very much,
Luca

Alternatively, I would only need a couple of indications on how to proceed implementing the functionality with Javascript and Logic Hook.

The information I would need is:
1. How could I add some Javascript code to a custom module, without using Enhanced Studio? It would be useful to add an "html table" with "html input text fields", for example (I do not need the Javascript code, only a suggestion about WHERE to insert such Javascript code)
2. How could I access the values inserted in the html table from the PHP code of a Logic Hook?

Once resolved these two problems, and creating new custom tables in the database, it should be easy to recreate the functionality of adding multiple rows of a certain field as now happens with multiple email address in the Contacts module.
If someone could help me in resolving the 2 questions, I'll try to implement a solution and share this with everyone.

Thank you,
Luca
