Filed Relationship in related custom modules

[vipin.sehgal]

Hello,
I started working on Sugar just few months back. So , my doubt may seems to be very silly to all you experts. Could any one please help me in solving my problem , which goes like this..
I have two modules as "Order" and "Placement". The "Order" has an attribute "IO_ID" and Placement also has the same "IO_ID" attribute. I have related the module "Order" with "Placement", such that corresponding to one "Order" instance , I can add an instance of "Placement".
Now , when i add an instance of "Placement" corresponding to an "Order Instance " I want to fetch the "IO_ID" Value to the corresponding "IO_ID" filed in the "Instance of Placement" . SO as to maintain consistency.


Could Any one please help me in doing this .

Thanking You,

Without actually seeing the code for the two modules it's hard to be exact but you should be able to load the related order and pull out the id in the Placement.php file (or whatever module builder called your main PHP bean file).

You should be able to override the fill_in_relationship_fields() function or the fill_in_additional_parent_fields() function or maybe the fill_in_additional_detail_fields() function. Will take a little bit of experimenting to get it to work but it might look like this

  function fill_in_additional_detail_fields() {
    parent::fill_in_additional_detail_fields();
    $sub_focus=new Order();
    $sub_focus->retrieve($this->related_order); //not sure how the two mods are related
   $this->od_id=$sub_focus->od_id;
} 
  

Of course that is completely blind code, no idea what your relationships or real modules names are.

Thanks a lot, Kenneth.
I'll try to see if that is working for me.
