dynamic detail view according to edit view

[rohitk]

Hey all,


I'm stuck in an issue where i need to show a particular set of fields depending on the edit view list box(drop down)..

Eg., product field in edit view of opportunity is selected (product -TV selected)
then...
in edit view of accounts there should be fields like (screen size, type,etc)

and if other product is selected then its corresponding fields should be shown in accounts field.

Now i am considering here accounts module could be custom moodule also.

Can anyone please help me out here?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rohit

There are some issues at your needs.
As per CRM paradigm, one Account may have one or more Opportunities, so you may face the scenario where Accounts must deal with several different Products at once.
Are you confortable about that?

Hello Andopes....

thanks for quick reply.

And yes my accounts->opportunity will be 0ne-to-many relationship but not at the same time. if another product needs to be assigned then another opportunity will be created for the same account.
So, is it feasible ? can it be done ?

Thank you for your time and advice.

Hi Rohit

At some time a specific Account will have 4 Opportunities assigned to its, right? Each one created at a different day, but all of them will be assigned to the same Account, correct?

Question:
Do you want to let Account render the product based fields for all related Opportunities or only for the last created one?

Regards

Only the lastly created one.

So you have to:
Create an extended vardefs and add into it the same Product field you created on Opportunities, but this field must have the attribute 'source' => 'non-db',
Create a custom controller for Accounts and implement the function action_editview where you will populate this field according to value on respective field at last created Opportunity;
Install DevToolKit and configure the plugin DynamiPanel the way you can display/hide the product specific panel (containing a bundle of fields) depending on value at same field on Account.
