Auditable fields - once more.

[dusker]

Hi Guys,

i've been searching the internet and these forums, for some info on how to make some standard fields auditable.
For example, what i want to do is, in Accounts module, set Name, Industry, Type, Team and Assigned to fields auditable, so all changes on all records regarding these fields will be logged in a change log.
Obviously Studio module does not work here.

i've tried several solutions like this one:
http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showt...ighlight=audit
and several other ones but i had no luck at all.

Could anyone please explain how to set these fields to auditable?

greetings

Hi Peter

Did you click on Rebuild Extension after saving the file?
Let me know the content of the file you created to perform this customization.

Cheers

Hi,

that's what i have in custom vardefs file:

 $dictionary['Account']['fields']['account_type']['audit'] = true; 
  

(i wanted to do it firstly for one field only which is account type)

and i did do rebuild extensions afterwards and the log is still insensitive for changes on account type.

thanks for help in advance

greetings
peter

 $dictionary['Account']['fields']['account_type']['audit'] = true; 
  

Hi Peter

Make sure the file custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php had been created containing this piece of code.

i've saved it under:
custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php
i've rebuilt extensions and it still doesn't work.

i'm running on sugar 5.1.0a

You need to save it into custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php.
custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php is automatically reloaded when running Rebuild Extension.

ok, i have saved it under custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php
rebuilt extensions afterwards, and still no go.
when i open view change log it doesn't list my fields

Do the following:

1. Implement the code into custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php
2. Go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extension
3. Open the file custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php and make sure your code had being copied to this file;
3.1. If not, change the permission/owner of the custom folder to allow access to user under which apache is running;
3.2. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
4. Go to Change Log to make the field is there.

OK, i did all exactly as You wrote and still no good.

1. i implemented the code in custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php
2. i rebuilt extensions
3. i've checked custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php and the code was there
4. i tried to change something in accounts module and no changes are logged in log. The top of the log window still says 'Fields audited in this module: Parent Account ID, team id, phone office, name, assigned user'

i also did a little test to check if sugar is even trying to open this file. I put in the following into the custo vardefs fule:

 $dictionary['Account']['fields']['qertqerqwre']['audit'] 
  

and it throws an error that it cant find such field. So it's definately parsing that file.

My bad!!!

The correct is:

 $dictionary['Account']['fields']['account_type']['audited'] = true; 
  

I hope this works now!
