How to customize update button in massupadate part

[varunshah]

Hello,

I have added some customized fileds in opportunity module.
Now I want to customize update button in Massupdate part.
How can i do that??
I have seen that, from include/massupdate.php i can make changes.
But How can i override that function in opportunity customization??

Unfortunately the customization is not upgrade safe.
You need to modify the function getMassUpdateForm this way:

         if($this->sugarbean->module_dir == 'Opportunities') {
            $html.= 'your button customization';
        } else {
            $html .= "<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0' width='100%'><tr><td style='padding-bottom: 2px;' class='listViewButtons'><input onclick='return sListView.send_mass_update(\"selected\", \"{$app_strings['LBL_LISTVIEW_NO_SELECTED']}\")' type='submit' id='update_button' name='Update' value='{$lang_update}' class='button'>";
        } 
  

Cheers

Thank You...
So i have to make changes in massupdate.php file.
Means I can't override this function for my module. I have to make changes directly in the file with out overriding it.
Right?

Exactly!

Unfortunately the Mass Update form is not customizable.

Actually there is a way to customize the update button in the mass update.

1. Write a view.list.php view for the module you would like to customize the massupdate form.
2. Write a JavaScript that will change the button callback function. You can add AJAX also there.
3. echo the JS file inside the view.list.php

Done

Example JS:


/***************************************
*
***************************************/
function addLoadEvent(func)
{
var oldonload = window.onload;
if (typeof window.onload != "function") {
window.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
if (oldonload) {
oldonload();
}
func();
}
}
}


/***************************************
*
***************************************/
function change_massupdate_button(){
var btn = document.getElementById('update_button');
btn.onclick = function(){
alert('aaaaa');
}
}


/**/
addLoadEvent(change_massupdate_button);
