custom module doesn't update

[kazuoF]

I changed the Quick Create layout of a custom module and saved and published these modifications. But when I look at the Quick Create form of the active module, it still looks like before. However, in the Layout Manager, my changes have been saved.

I also tried a Quick Repair and Rebuild and logged out and in again. Also to no avail.

Why is that and how can I fix this problem?

Hi,

Are you running in Developer Mode? That disables the cache system to stop symptoms like the one you describe ;-)

Cheers,
Mattt.

I just tried the same procedure again while being in developer mode. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

If I change the label of a field, the changes take effect while changes to the layout don't.

Check under /custom/modules/yourmodule/metadata the quickcreatedefs. Is it there? Does it show your changes (by looking into the code)? If yes then it is most likely a bug and not the usual permission issue.

Change a quick create form somewhere else and check whether this shows (just to make sure).
Which version btw?

[kazuoF]

The changes I made do appear in the code file.

I also tried to change th Quick Create layout of other modules, both custom and standard ones, and experienced the same lack of effect.

So you think it is a bug? Can I somehow fix it?

Looks like a bug but doesn't seem to be one. Never seen such a behavior, it looks as if Sugar can write to the directory but doesn't read from there. Probably the (Sugar) cache isn't updated properly or you have troubles with your external cache. Delete (or rename) /cache/modules and if this doesn't help try to switch off (or clear) all external caches (APC for instance).

Strangely enough, these methods didn't help, either.

Luckily, my co-worker came up with the idea of changing the subarray with the key 'default' in modules/mymodule/metadata/sidecreateviewsdefs.php.

For some reason it appears to work.

Oh, before I forget: Thank your for your replies. I also liked your book.

Sounds strange and shouldn't happen. But you mean the quickcreate as in creating e.g. a contact under accounts?
However, glad it works and that my book was of any use.
