Changing color of listview rows according to status

[edanb]

Hi. How would I go about adding a feature that the rows in the listview of a certain module (not all) would change color depending on the status of the record. For example a new lead row would be green, a converted lead blue, etc.

Is there a simple way to do this with metadata?
If not, could you point me to the right files that need to be changed in the core?

Thanks!

Anyone got any ideas about this?

You could look into using a process_record logic hook to add some code to the status field to change the color.

Maybe add some javascript to change the style of the parent TR

Hi!

It should be something like that:

Need to change core files

[ivolator]

Look at the include/ListView folder
There is the template ListViewGeneric.tpl.
Create new template using it that will do whatever you like.
Create custom vlew for the list view of your module(actually what verion sugar?).
Override the listViewProcess() function and pass the template to the setup() method.
This is just by glancing at the 5.2.0 code ...

p.s.
No core files changes !
In my humble opinion, through my experience with
SugarCRM 5.x.x I haven't seen need for core changes other than genuine bugs.
All code could be written completely in the custom folders.Well I had to do one trick though.
My module objects had to extend the classes from the custom folders rather than the opposite.
This could be avoided but then there is need to refactor a lot of the sugar code that does inclusions based on the metadata ... (anyway)

Hi!

You are quite right, ivolator.

[piccirm]

this is a very interesting possibility that could give a great benefit to Sugar

Can you please add more detailed "howto" intructions ?
In particular how to Override the listViewProcess() function

tks

Actually I really want what the letrium's attachment picture look like.
Can any one add more detailed description?
Do I need to go for logic hook way or template modification way?

The logic_hook process_record will enable you to set the color for a specific field for all rows.
The new template will enable you to set the color for an entire row.
Both are upgrade safe.
Regarding the new template you need to create a custom view.list.php for the module, Specify a new ListView class, which extends the defaul ListViewSmart and inside that specify a new template.

Thank you!!

I selected the logic hook way and used JavaScript to add a class to the row
