Cancel a Save in a Logic Hook

[chrislynch8]

In a Logic Hook I want to check compare a value to another value and it this value already exists I want to cancel the save.

Or would it be better to do this in the Edit View?

I think is better build this validation code before the form submit.
When I have to make more complex validations as your case, I usually overwrite the function called on onclick event of save buttons, to first call my custom validation and then if success validated call the normal code.

Hi,

You wouldn't an example of this. I've tried to include javascript in the EditView that will trigger when the date field is changed. But with that when I press the button to select a date it stays at this stage and will not go any further.

I have to select the date and press the X but this doesn;t trigger a simple alert I have.

If you need to compare a form field against database fields so DevToolKit fits your needs.
If you need to copare a form field against some other form field so addToValidateComparison fits your needs.

Hi,

What I have done is in the view.edit.php I am using Javascript to compare the entered value to that of values that already exist.

Also there is this solution: http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/f6/ca...216/#post76452
It says to do "an exit" instead of return null on logic_hook method.

After try that, I found the way it really works.
Add this code on before_save logic_hook

 if (<condition>) {
 header("Location: index.php.....");
 exit;
}
