Dev toolkit 0.5 - Dependant dropdowns

[Linnane]

Hi,
Hi Trying to get a simple Dependant dropdowns to work.

I have added new dropdowns via the DropDown editor
e.g.

Name: sales_stage_carIns_list

Language:
List Items:
Item Name[Display Label]

* AJL[AJL]
* Sophie[Sophie]
* Joe[Joe]

I've modified the opportunity type drop down.

Name: opportunity_type_dom

Language:
List Items:
Item Name[Display Label]

* -blank-[-blank-]
* carInsurance[Car Insurance]
* homeInsurance[Home Insurance]

I've tried this and a couple variations of below: and up loaded it to "custom/modules/Opportunities/metadata/"
I had to create the metadata folder.

<?php
$update_dropdown_field_defs = array(

'opportunity_type_dom' => array(

'' => array(

'sales_stage_dom' => 'sales_stage_dom',

),

'Car Insurance' => array(
'sales_stage_dom' => 'sales_stage_carIns_list',
),

'Home Insurance' => array(
'sales_stage_dom' => 'sales_stage_homeIns_list',
),

),

);
?>

When I go into Create Opportunity and select either car insurance or home insurance
There is no difference to the sales stage DD.

I Then ftp'ed the sample "views" Directory to custom/modules/Opportunities/

However when I connect to Create Opportunity the full page is not displayed
and no part of the Create Opportunity form is visible.

I've since removed this folder and its contents.

Do I have to do something with the views files? view.edit.php, view.detail.php, etc.
Can you give me any advice on how to resolve my issue?

Regards
A. Linnane

Hi Linnane

You need to set opportunity_type instead of opportunity_type_dom on metadata.
The first array represents the mandatory fields, not their dropdowns.

Cheers
