Help with content on the Calendar

[routledge]

Here is the system info: Red Hat Linux Server, Sugar version 5.0.0CE.

Ok everyone, I would like to add more fields on the Day calendar view. At the moment I can only see the activity 'Status' and the 'Subject' fields. I would love to show a more info such at the 'Contact' field. Can any one help me with this frustrating little issue.

Kindest regards

John

Hi John

You need to override the scripts include/utils/activity_utils.php and modules/Calendar/templates/templates_calendar.php

Cheers

Hi Andre

Thanks for this previous post it worked great.

I have another little issue however, I currently have two systems running, sugarcrm and another in-house system. The in-house system is very complex as is the database attached to it. I would like to read and write to this database from my sugar instance, what in your opinion is the best way to do this. I use a combination of custom fields and standard sugar fields and all I want to do is link them up to the external database.
I’m using 5.0.0f CE, Apache, MySQL , Debian server. Plus the databases are both on the same machine. I had noticed one of your previous posts and found the following code, If this is applicable please let me know.
function retrieve($id) {
parent::retrieve($id);

integrateOnRetrieve();

return $this;
}

function integrateOnRetrieve() {
/*
write your integration code here.
Code to save data into external databse on retrieving some record from SugarCRM database
*/
}

function save($check_notify = false) {
parent::save($check_notify);

integrateOnSave();

return $this->id;
}

function integrateOnSave() {
/*
write your integration code here.
Code to retrieve data from external databse on saving some record into SugarCRM database
*/
}
Kind regards

Hi John

I think it is better to discuss by skype.
Ping me on skype 'andopes' to discuss that.
Integration procedures always are related to several variables and it may take some time to understand the big picture and suggest an efficient solution.

Kind regards
