Copy address from left adress checkbox

[rohitk]

Hi guys,

May be this is a already asked question but can anyone tell me the details of how to make "Copy from left " checkbox from accounts module like functionality in custom modules.I have a custom module named "carrier" and i need to make same functionality as like accounts module and i cant find a way to figure it out.Even if i have to make changes in files (coding-wise) its fine. i have looked into other threads but they haven't provided with full details.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sugar uses JavaScript in a Smarty template to accomplish this in the Address SugarField.

See the files under <sugar_root>/include/SugarFields/Fields/Address

These files implement the grouping of multiple address fields into a custom layout. The code that implements the actual copy from left checkbox is in the file SugarFieldAddress.js

Not exactly complete detials, but it should get you started.

Hi rohitk,

What exactly are you trying to do?

Did you do something that did not work or do you not know how to get started?

If all you're trying to do is apply the same edit capabilities to two mailing address fields in a custom module, then you can simply tell the custom module edit layout to display the fields using the Smarty Address template. I'd have to look at the code to recall how, but it's very simple, so just let us know that's what you want and I'll look at my code to remember how to reference the smarty template.

If you want to apply similar functionality to completely different fields, then you'll have to write your own javascript and possibly create your own SugarField.

Hi,

When you create a custom module of type "Person", you will get that functionality by default.

Hello all,


Thnx guys for helping me out. Thnx to davidboris the way to solve this issue: Just take the module type as "PERSON" instead of "BASIC" and everything is taken care of.

Cheers,
Rohit.
