Beginner needs help

[jpietrick]

I am currently creating a new accounting module to help to keep track of my daily deposits. I created some new fields. Cash, checks, and total. I want the total field to be teh sum of cash and checks. How do you do this?

It depends on when you want the calculation is performed:

1. At the EditView while filling in the fields?
2. On save process?

First option requires a javascript to process the calculation;
Second options requires a logic_hook before_save.
The easiest one is the second one.

What about your skills regarding php and javascript customization?

Hi Andre

I was reviewing the forum looking for some examples on how we can use JavaScript in SugarCRM. I have build a JavaScript to try to relate two fields in the Account View, but not sure if I am calling the JavaScript function correctly in the Accounts.

Would you mind taking a look to the post I wrote at

Thanks a lot in advance
