Cannot redeclare class EditView Tasks

[replicadata]

Hello,

We have Sugar CRM 5.5 installed. All is working fine except for one error message which we get when we want to create a new task for a contact (so in the contact tab, button "create task").

This is the message:
"Cannot redeclare class EditView in .../include/EditView/EditView.php on line 40"

Could some one please advise on what to do?

Thanks a dozen!

What version do you use of SugarCRM and PHP?

[privasphere]

I run the same error while making a new Meeting

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class EditView in /var/www/crm/include/EditView/EditView.php on line 40

Version 5.5.2 (Build 1224)

any help?

How did you configure this instance?
Is this a new one or upgraded from previous version?
Did you install any package or customize anything by hand?

Cheers

I also am experiencing this issue. I just finished upgrading from 5.2.1 using the patch releases 5.2 -> 5.5.1 then 5.5.1 -> 5.5.2.

All,

I too have had this issue with the Tasks sub-panel on a custom module. As with jboeckler this occurred for me after upgrading a customers SugarCRM instance. I upgraded all the way from 4.5.1 to 5.5.4 (which is another story!).

Anyway, I traced the issue down to there being legacy EditView.php & DetailView.php etc. files in the Tasks directory. These files were apparently conflicting with the new framework when creating the QuickCreate edit view form. I think this is due to the fact that the new framework uses an instantiation of the EditView class from file "include/EditView/EditView2.php" and the legacy system used an insantiation from the "include/EditView/EditView.php" file. Basically the system was using the legacy include and then the new include and that was redeclaring the same "EditView" class.

My fix was to move the legacy stuff to the new MVC framework and delete the legacy files from the modules/Tasks folder (actually I appended ".old" to the file names to preserve history - just in case). This has fixed the error and I am now getting the QuickCreate form in the sub-panel again.

This is only a partial fix for me though as I was using a custom tpl file as the QuickCreate form to allow me to create up to 10 tasks at a time related to the custom module - I am using them to record ToDo items against a custom object! So, if anyone has any quick ideas how I can re-override the MVC framework to create a fully custom QuickCreate form then please let me know.

Thanks,

JH.
