How to set default values

[modified]

Hi, I am trying to set default values for certain fields in the account module from variables in the url. Example:

index.php?module=Accounts&action=EditView&return_m odule=Accounts&return_action=DetailView?pnumber=12 34567890&acctname=Test1

This would open up a new account page with the phone office field reading 1234567890 and the account name being test 1

i know i can use the $_get['pnumber'] and $_get['acctname'] variables to pull those values from the url. But when i set them to the variables $phone_office in the accounts.php file it tells me that there is an error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/html/crm/modules/Accounts/Account.php

any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx!

There are probably a hundred better ways to do this but your way needs to be done in the EditView.php file not the Account.php file. Look for where the vars for phone number and such are filled in and thats where you want to place your code.

// Account is used to store account information.
class Account extends SugarBean {
var $field_name_map = array();
// Stored fields
var $date_entered;
~
var $phone_fax;
var $phone_office=$_Get['pnumber'];
var $rating;
var $shipping_address_street;
var $shipping_address_city;
var $shipping_address_state;
var $shipping_address_country;
~
// These are for related fields
var $opportunity_id;
var $case_id;

Theres a snippit of the code, it is the declaration of variables in account.php I omitted some of the lines to shorten it. It refuses to take the get variable however if i say var $phone_office="1234567890"; The accounts page will come prefilled with thta number in the office phone number field

As for the editview.php, I tried modfy the code their but it did not show up in the browser. Any suggestions of which lines i need to change?

Thanx!!!

If you have editied the html to pass the variable in the URL thten you can do the following:
Edit EditView.php and find the bit like:

if(isset($_REQUEST['parent_id'])) $xtpl->assign("PARENT_ID", $_REQUEST['parent_id']);
if(isset($_REQUEST['parent_name'])) $xtpl->assign("PARENT_NAME", urldecode($_REQUEST['parent_name']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['billing_address_street'])) $xtpl->assign("BILLING_ADDRESS_STREET", urldecode($_REQUEST['billing_address_street']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['billing_address_city'])) $xtpl->assign("BILLING_ADDRESS_CITY", urldecode($_REQUEST['billing_address_city']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['billing_address_state'])) $xtpl->assign("BILLING_ADDRESS_STATE", urldecode($_REQUEST['billing_address_state']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['billing_address_postalcode'])) $xtpl->assign("BILLING_ADDRESS_POSTALCODE", urldecode($_REQUEST['billing_address_postalcode']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['billing_address_country'])) $xtpl->assign("BILLING_ADDRESS_COUNTRY", urldecode($_REQUEST['billing_address_country']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['ownership'])) $xtpl->assign("OWNERSHIP", urldecode($_REQUEST['ownership']));
if(isset($_REQUEST['website'])) $xtpl->assign("WEBSITE", urldecode($_REQUEST['website']));

$xtpl->parse("main");

Just before the final $xtpl->parse("main");, add a like like

if(isset($_REQUEST['pnumber'])) $xtpl->assign("PHONE_OFFICE", urldecode($_REQUEST['pnumber']));

I've not tested this so watch out for typos or errors.
