Contact Advanced Search and Popup Search

[jcb23]

Windows XP and Vista
Sugar 5.2.0
Apache 2.2.4
PHP: 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3
MySQL Server: 5.0.45-1ubuntu3.3

For some reason my contacts advanced search and my contacts popup search are reading the same file. Sometimes they both read the popupdefs.php file and sometimes they both read the searchdefs.php file. It switches back between the two when I use the "Quick Repair and Rebuild" function. I checked modules/Contacts/metadata/metafiles.php and its pointing to the correct files for popup and searchdefs. I even tried deleting the customizations I had done to those layouts and going back to the original layouts that came with sugar and it is still showing the same thing in both search screens.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Enable Developer Mode, so that deleting customizations will have a impact in the interface.

I did that and it corrected the error. But if I unclick the box for Developer Mode the problem returns. Is this something that I can keep enabled long term without it causing any other issues?

ohh strange. It is not advisable to leave the developer mode enabled all the time. Becoz, it will slow down the sugar performance. Check this to learn more about Developer Mode

It appears that Developer Mode makes Sugar look at the files directly and not at the cache. So it appears that the problem happens when the cache files Popup.tpl and SearchForm_advanced are created. If I delete those files and click on the Advanced search than the fields from the advanced search portion of searchdefs.php show up in both places (Advanced Search and the Popup Search). If after deleting the files I click on a popup search first the fields in the popupdefs.php show up in both places. Is there anyway to prevent these two cache files from being created so that it always looks to the files directly? Will this significantly slow down work in these two search areas?

If Developer Mode is enabled, the cache files will be regenerated every time the page is loaded. This applies to all modules. Moreover using cache files is global practice for SugarCRM. So better follow the same. Don't try to override the core functionality. Problem might be in some other area. Find it and fix it.

That's the problem though. I can't find where the problem is. All I know is that when the cache files are being regenerated every time the page is loaded it works properly.

Create a view.list.php inside custom/modules/<ModuleName>/views/ folder and add this code inside the function display():

         require_once('modules/Administration/QuickRepairAndRebuild.php');
        $selected_actions = Array(0 => 'clearTpls');
        $modules = Array(0 => '<ModuleName>');
        $RepairAndClear = new RepairAndClear();
        $RepairAndClear->repairAndClearAll($selected_actions, $modules, $autoexecute=false, $show_output=false);

I tried your suggested code andopes - but I ended up just getting a blank screen where the Contacts search should be.

hi,
i also experienced this strange problem.
i think the module's advanced search and popup search uses only
one common template. if you open first the module's popup, both will use the popup search. and if you open first the advanced search, both will use the advanced search template.

thanks to Andre, his code works, i just added

 parent::display(); 
  

after the last line.
i will try if the same fix will work in view.popup.php.

my view.list.php

 <?php
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php');
class ContactsViewList extends ViewList{
     function ContactsViewList(){
         parent::ViewList();
     }    
     function display(){
            //from Andopes -START
            require_once('modules/Administration/QuickRepairAndRebuild.php');
            $selected_actions = Array(0 => 'clearTpls');
            $modules = Array(0 => 'Contacts');
            $RepairAndClear = new RepairAndClear();
            $RepairAndClear->repairAndClearAll($selected_actions, $modules, $autoexecute=false, $show_output=false);
            //from Andopes -END    
            parent::display();           
     }
}
?>  

thanks..
