Auto populate address fields in 4.5

[joshmark]

I would like to make the city, state and country fields of the address (in Contact module) to auto populate if they match the data existing in the database (e.g. if the same city name exist in the database) any pointer how this can be achieved?

I derive this idea from the account name field in Contact Edit View. As soon as we start typing the account name, it populates the account name starting with those characters. This means the functionality exists, how can I add it to address fields?

On an all-together different track, is possible to enhance the address field to auto fill city, state information from ZIP code. Obviously this will require adding zip code table somewhere in the database, but is it possible?

Thanks for the help.

hi joshmark,

yes ofcourse u can make this functionality work for u.

if u have the table having all information regarding all cities and what ever u need.

u have to add new function in include/QuickSearchDefaults.php with appropriate data.

and have to create sqsobject in module's editview.php

i hope this information helps.

Hi, all.
The script include/QuickSearchDefaults.php stores only metadatas, nothing more.
Then you can add this metadata any place you want, like another script into include dir.

But the heta suggestion really can works.

All cool ideas, but I haven't seen anything like this built yet for Sugar by anybody in the community.
