customize ListView

[biggie_mac]

I'm having some problems overwriting/customizing the list view of a subpanel. Long story short, I'm trying to populate a subpanel with data from a webservice instead of from mysql. So instead of performing a query on mysql database I need to perform a web service call and list that data instead. I've tried several ways of achieving this in an 'upgrade safe' manner but haven't succeeded. Eventually I had to overwrite the process_dynamic_listview_rows method in ListView.php and replace the $data variable with the data from the web service. Obviously this is not the best solution but at this point I found no other way of doing this. Is there an alternative solution that can be achieved without overwriting ListView.php?

Thanks in advance.

I used the logic_hook "process_record" for such a task.

If I'm not mistaken, the process_record hook 'affects' the rows retrieved from the query. In my case, the query returns nothing as I have no data in the database for that specific subpanel, that's why I'm trying to get the data from the web service. Though I am not entirely sure about this as I am relatively new to Sugar. So if no data is retrieved from the database, can this still be done using the process_record hook?

oh, if all the bean data is coming from a webservice then you should write own retrieve functions in your bean file.
I supposed you have only some fields from the webservice.
