assign primary field in custom module

[chris.marsden]

This is probably a common question but i have added a new module and want to be able to go to a record by clicking a field i have created

just like in accounts you would click the business name.

i will attach a screen shot if needed as im not sure how well i have explained that.

thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I understand your question fully right.

You can jump to an object in Sugar with creating a link with an URL like this:
<your base path>/index.php?module=Accounts&return_module=Accounts&a ction=DetailView&record=00120000003PvBDAA0

'module' is the type of object you want to see, here in my example I want to see an account.
'return_module' is the module where you want to go back after viewing the record.
'action' in my example is DetailView because I want to see this view. Here I could take the EditView too.
'record' is the id of the object.

There are some other params possible, but these are the most common. Just take a look at the URL in your browser if you have a record open ...

i have attached a SS -

I basicly want the MPAN/MPR to allow me to veiw the record via hyperlink, the above fix wouldnt work as the record would change each time for each MPAN.

Yes, the id in 'record' must have the proper value for each record (which will be different for each record off course).

In listviewdefs.php for example you could set something like this (I'm not sure with the exact syntax)

'customCode' => '<a href="index.php?module=Accounts&return_module=Acco unts&action=DetailView&record={$fields.id.value}"> {$fields.name.value}</a>',

(id and name are two fields in your module)

I am unsure as to what to use for ID and Field and which way round these would go... stupid question but please help lol

would i also need: 'link' => true, in list vardefs file?

[chris.marsden]

in the listvardefs file i have added the link section:
'MPAN_CORE_C' =>
array (
'type' => 'varchar',
'default' => true,
'link' => true,
'label' => 'LBL_MPAN_CORE',
'width' => '10%',
),

it gives the desired effect in the index of that module, how do i get this to happen within another modules subpanel now???
