HELP! How to customize save function

[fedepia]

Hello people, how are you? I'm using SugarCRM 4.5 (OS), and that i'm trying to do is customize a save account function, i.e.:

first at all, when a user goes to the Accounts module if he wants to create one, he has to put a name for it and then he could create the account, but, with a logic hooks (using a before_save event) i have to insert a Lead (or whatever) before the insert of the account.

so, i have my logic hook and my class with its method that handles the event, if all went ok, there are two inserts (first a Lead then an account).

but, i have to check if sugar really could insert the account, because if it couldn't then i have to delete the lead, i.e.:
1) Insert a lead before save an account -----> OK
2) Sugar's account insert -----> FAIL
3) Must delete lead in '1'

however, sugar doesn't provide a after_save hook where i can delete the lead, so i looked at one link where someone said that it had to customize the Save.php file, but, it doesn't work

in my before_save method, i put the id lead on $_SESSION and at the last in Save.php i retrieve that id but didn't work.

Any sugerence?

Thank you people

Well, I would use the existing code and create a Lead Object.
Calling Save on the Lead Object will return the ID of the lead that was just inserted if you left the id blank.
$focus = new Lead();
$focus->first_name = 'blah';
$focus->save();


If you want to delete it, just call
$focus = new Lead();
$focus->retrieve($lead_id);
$focus->deleted = 1;
$focus->save();

When a file is saved, the next page automatically loads, so you should be able to use the after_retrieve.

You can always just throw ALL of your code at the end of the save.php file too.

Sorry I don't have a DIRECT answer, but I hope this helps some.

hi sacrajoe, thank you for reply.
I inserted a lead but that i have to resolve is to call a web service on a before_save event, then if sugar fail on save, i have to cancel the lead created.
so, for other reason i have to use the set_entry web service for insert before save and for mark as deleted the lead.

the question is not to insert a lead but to do a web service call on other system (and this ws call is like the set_entry)

cheers!

You may alter the save function and make it call an event: after_save and in the event you create a TESTING algorithm in which you test the results of the SAVE and you decide whether or not to keep the LEAD

 function save($check_notify = FALSE){
    $ret = parent::save($check_notify);
    parent::call_custom_logic("after_save", '');
    return $ret;
} 
  

Of course you should create your logic:

 require_once('include/utils.php');
echo "Subscribing to Cases<br>";
check_logic_hook_file(    "Cases", 
                        "before_save", 
                        array(    1, 
                                "insert1",
                                "modules/mymod/Cases_events.php", 
                                "casesEvt", 
                                "before_save"));
 
echo "            Subscribing to before_save<br>";
check_logic_hook_file(    "Cases", 
                        "after_save", 
                        array(    2, 
                                "insert2",
                                "modules/mymod/Cases_events.php", 
                                "casesEvt", 
                                "after_save"));
 
echo "            Subscribing to after_save<br>"; 
  

and

 class casesEvt{
    
    function before_save(&$bean, $event, $arguments) {
    }
    
    function after_save(&$bean, $event, $arguments) {
        }
}

hello youssefaoun, thanks your reply. I'd use the after_save event, but im using sugar4.5 a it doesn't exist in this version, only for version 5.0
