calls - date_end - change to datetime

[mikesolomon]

I would like to change date_end in calls from date to datetime

I tried changing it in vardefs and in the calls table but when I create a new call it still shows as a date field in edit view

Is there a way to do this?

Hi, Mike.

Did you run quick repair and rebuild?
This perform the necessary changes to cached files.

Hi, Mike.

Which version are you using?
Did the database table get changed after repairing?
Inside your editviewdefs.php there is a attribute

'type' => 'Date'

Inside the date_end field definition?

Can you post the content of your editviewdefs.php and vardefs.php?
Only the code related to that field

Best regards

getting there slowly

I had a look at editviewdefs.php and changed it:

array (
'name' => 'date_end',
'type' => 'datetimecombo',
'label' => 'LBL_DATE_END',
),

adding 'type' => 'datetimecombo' made it appear correctly on the form

unfortunately when it save the time is being saved as 00:00

But I think I'm on the right track

When I investigated closer I found that in calls date_end was always being set to date_start irrespective of what I entered

I fixed the problem with a logic hook

$bean->date_end= $_REQUEST['date_end'];

Andre - thanks for the help

New problem

If I change the layout using studio the form reverts to a date field

to fix it I have to go back into custom/modules/Calls/metadata/editviewdefs.php and add 'type' => 'datetimecombo',
