help with the bean

[kysho]

I am trying to figure out if the $bean has any data about a module that the current one is related to... for example.
i have module A and B, they are related 1...*, so A can have many B. while i am in the detailview of A i can see the listview of B, i know that $bean has the data for the fields of A, but i cant figure out if it has anything about B, or how does $bean really work, i might/probably am confused.

thanks

One quick thing you can do to see all the information stored in the bean is, somewhere in a logic hook, put the line:

 $GLOBALS['log']->fatal(print_r($bean,true)); 
  

Then, execute the logic hook (perform a save if its before/after_save, etc) and go to your sugarcrm.log in your base folder. Depending on what your log level is, there may or may not be a lot of useless information in here, but you'll find all the bean data in plain text form in there.

I'm using fatal() in this case because its pretty much always visible, but its more correct to use info() or debug() and change your log settings to that level.

Just a warning tho, its a lot of information.
