Custom, auto-included file?

[theLowlyContractor2]

Client is currently using a maimed Sugar 4.0.1 -

Just wondering if anyone knows if there was/is a certain place to put files or a certain file name to use to have a function library automatically included.

Trying to move some code into an 'upgrade safe' area.

Thanks!

Hi theLowlyContractor2

Your needs are not so clear.
Can you explain again?

A bit like config_override is automatically checked and included when sugar is launched, I was wondering if there is a good place to put custom function definitions.

Developers before me placed several custom functions in utils.php - I didn't know that, and after upgrading, several modules broke.

I was wondering if there's an upgrade-safe location to place PHP content that should be automatically included when sugar is run.

Did I just repeat my confusing request, or did that make more sense?

Thanks for your time!

Hi theLowlyContractor2

Your needs are pretty clear now.

Create a logic_hook after_retrieve into Users module:

1. Create the file custom/modules/Users/logic_hooks.php with this content:

 <?php
$hook_version = 1;
$hook_array = Array();
 
$hook_array['after_retrieve'] = Array();
$hook_array['after_retrieve'][] = Array(1, 'include_custom_functions', 'custom/modules/Users/UserHook.php','UserHook', 'include_custom_functions');
?>  

2. Create the file custom/modules/Users/UserHook.php with this content:

 <?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
 
class UserHook {
    function include_custom_functions(&$focus, $event, $arguments) {
        global $current_user;
        
        if($focus->id == $current_user->id) {
            $path = 'custom/include';
            $dir = dir($path);
 
            while($entry = $dir->read()){
                if(is_file($path . '/' . $entry) && $entry != '.' && $entry != '..') {
                    if(substr($entry, strlen($entry) - 4, 4) == '.php') {
                        require_once($path . '/' . $entry);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
?>

So this would cause custom functions to be imported after the User bean/record/information is retreived from the database?

Suppose I could search for "after_retreive" to find out where it's called...

Hi theLowlyContractor2

Creating these 2 files as I had specified always when the user access any page into SugarCRM all php files inside custom/include/ will be loaded making available all functions inside them, automagicly.
