Adding a new dropdown field in DocumentRevisions

[enrikm]

Good afternoon all,

I am trying to add a new dropdown field in the DocumentRevisions Module. Since this is not found in the studio, I had to hard-code placing the field in the right spot. I first created a dropdown named 'Approved' then created a custom field via the studio named 'adstatus'. Finally I edited the DocumentRevision/Editview.html file and entered:


<td class="dataLabel"><span sugar='slot2'>{MOD.adstatus_c}</span sugar='slot'></td>
<td class="dataField"><span sugar='slot2b'><select name="adstatus_c title="{ADSTATUS_C_HELP}">{OPTIONS_ADSTATUS_C}</select></span sugar='slot'></td>


This is the exact code from others, I just changed the name of the field. However, my problem is that the dropdown list is empty. The label is ok though so it means that the field is detected. It's just the dropdown list that is not populated.

Any help? Thanks a lot.

Enrico,

Not sure but I think you need to make sure the values of the drop down are getting loaded. You might need a requireonce in your php file to load the custom dropdown.

Haven't messed much with this module so don't know if its different from the rest. Seems though that studio should be able to handle it all the way.
Good luck Paris

Hey enrikm,

DocumentRevisions isn't set up for custom fields (as you already know). To get it to load custom fields this needs to be added to EditView.php (in addition to your html changes):

  
//Add Custom Fields
require_once('modules/DynamicFields/templates/Files/EditView.php');

I also have same requirement, and meet the same problem.

/Add Custom Fields
require_once('modules/DynamicFields/templates/Files/EditView.php');

the code add to which files?
