Copy the relate field to a new field and adapt this custom field.

not too difficult.

[garciasanchezdaniel]

I tried editing the file: editviewdefs.php , adding to the field this customCode::

 'customCode' => <input class="button" onclick="open(url);" value="open window with button"> 
  

And in the top of the editviewdefs.php I added:

 <script language="javascript"> 
function abrir(){ 
     window.open(url); 
}                     
</script> 
 

But now I see my related field strange...haha...I can not introduce a value because is filled with the new button...any suggestions?
thanks!!

1. Make your relate field as default, without custom code.
2. Open your form in edit view and ensure the relate field is working.
3. Open the source code of this page.
4. Copy the code used to renderize the relate field and the two buttons (Select and clear)
5. Now return to your custom code place, and paste the selected code.
- Your relate field should still be working here (test it to have sure)
6. Append to your custom code content the html code to renderize this new create button.
