Custom Javascript onchange

[chrislynch8]

Hi,

I have custom javascript function that I am calling in the EditView of a module. I have added added the required lines of cose to the editviewdefs.php file.

What can I put into the javascript to see if it is actually running when I change a field - also the field I am changing is a date field.

put in an alert

i.e alert('this is working')

that will popup a message

[chrislynch8]

Thats what I though.

I've commented out all code and added alert("Got here"); and nothing.

How have you added it to editviewdefs?

[chrislynch8]

In my editviewdefs.php i have the following in the templateMeta array after the widths array

 'includes' =>
array(
0 =>
array(
'file' => 'modules/FDC_Aspire/FDC_Aspire.js',
        ),
), 
  

Then in the field I want it to trigger on I added the following

 'displayParams' => array( 'javascript' =>'onchange="initData();"';,), 
  

Then in the FDC_Aspire.js I have the

function initData(){
alert("Got Here");
}

Then when I change the date in the Module nothing happens

your problem is that 'displayParams' => array( 'javascript' =>'onchange="initData();"';,), will not work for a date field

The easiest (but not upgrade safe way to fix it is to edit

include/SugarFields/Fields/Datetime/EditView.tpl

edit the input line to read <input autocomplete="off" type="text" name="{{sugarvar key='name'}}" id="{{sugarvar key='name'}}" value="{$date_value}" title='{{$vardef.help}}' {{$displayParams.field}} size="11" maxlength="10" tabindex="{{$tabindex}}" {{if isset($displayParams.javascript)}}{{$displayParams .javascript}} {{/if}}>

the upgrade safe way to do it is to copy the Datetime field to a new field Datetime_js

then edit as above

Then in EditViewdefs add the line 'type' => 'Datetime_js'

That should fix it

I tried the non upgrade safe method it still doesn't work. When press the icon and select the new date I have to then press the X to close the Date picker but I still do not receive the alert.

I'm am not great at JavaScript yet to even try the attempt the safer version.

could you try this in editviewdefs

array (
'name' => 'fdc_date_online_one',
'label' => 'LBL_FDC_DATE_ONLINE_ONE',
'type' => 'datetime',
'displayParams'=>array('javascript' => 'onchange="initData();"'),
),
