Duplicates hook for Accounts

[monicaDC]

Hi there! Is there a way for me to disable the duplicate check for accounts and contacts? Please advise. Thank you very much!

Cheers!

Hi Monica

You need to edit the custom/modules/Accounts/metadata/editviewdefs.php and add the hidden attribute into form attribute.
Have a look into modules/Calls/metadata/editviewdefs.php
Add a hidden field called "dup_checked" with value 'true'.

Cheers

Thank you so much Andre!
I added it but now I am getting a blank form when I go to save the Accounts record. Any idea? Thank you again.

$viewdefs ['Accounts'] = array (
'EditView' =>
array (
'templateMeta' =>
array (
'maxColumns' => '2',
'form' => array('hidden'=>array(
'<input type= "hidden" name="dup_checked" value= "true">'),
'buttons' =>
array (
0 => 'SAVE',
1 => 'CANCEL',
),
),

Check the tail of sugarcrm.log at the root of your SugarCRM system and also the error_log of apache.
Hopefully there are some error messages regarding that issue.

Both logs do not have any errors being reported. Is there any other file that needs to be edited?

I have been trying to figure this out for the last 3 days and it's driving me crazy

I tried doing this as well. I'm working the Contacts edit view and everything appears to run properly, but when I try to save a contact it just saves a blank record - it doesn't include any of the information I've entered. I'm terrible at php so I'm guessing I just goofed up the code somewhere. Here is all I added to custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php:

 5 => '<input type="hidden" name="dup_checked" value=true>', 
  

I checked both of the error logs and there is nothing there. Any suggestions?

Hi jcb23!
After playing with this forever, I found a different route to make this work...

If you go to ContactFormBase file, find the following line (around line 567) and just comment out the one line:

if (empty($_POST['record']) && empty($_POST['dup_checked'])) {

//$duplicateContacts = $this->checkForDuplicates($prefix);

And that is it Hope this helps.

That works beautifully! Thank you sooo much!

I'm done talking about core hacks, I'm tired of it. Here is the info you need:

I could very well be completely wrong here since I am no expert but I believe this addresses the duplicate merge only and not the alert you get when you create and save a new record.
