I'm stuck with logic hook, please help!

[D A G]

Good morning everybody! I'm on Version 5.2.0k (Build 5837) and I can't find out a way to do this:

I need to add a field that when you create a contact you choose between Value 1 or Value 2 .And depending on which one i've selected, i need them to be added automatically in the right target list, because i've got 2 target lists, one for the contacts that are interested in buying houses in the location 1, i.e Value 1 and the other target list for the people that is interested in buying houses in the other location, i.e Value 2.

I've got no programming skills but with a huge help of this forum I've managed to customize a few things in Sugar, but i'm stuck with this, i've read the logic hook documentation but I don't even understand how to create and fire a logic hook.

Any help will be really appreciated, thanks in advance for reading my post and spending your time on me.

When you say the "right" target list. Are you actually referring to the Campaigns, Target List module?

to get started with logic hooks.

you want to create a file called logic_hooks.php in the custom/modules/Contacts directory.
In that file you'll put.

$hook_array['before_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'Add to Target List', 'custom/modules/Contacts/TargeListHandler.php','TargetListHandler', 'addTargetList');

This says that before you are done saving... look for the file custom/modules/Contacts/TargeListHandler.php. In that file look for the class: TargetListHandler
call the method addTargetList of the TargetListHandler

Of course you now need to have the file custom/modules/Contacts/TargeListHandler.php

Inside this file you need to define your class

class TargeListHandler {

function addTargetList(& $bean, $event, $arguments) {

/* do something */
}
}

Where the comment do something exists. Is where you make magic happen. You can check to see what the user selected, what the value was previously. Add the contact to a target list, remove them, etc.

Yes, you're right!

I think that i got what you've said but still got some questions.

Should I add this new field (where i choose between the 2 locations I mentioned before) into the Contacts Module?

Once I get this done I will create a file called logic_hooks.php in the custom/modules/Contacts directory. Then I create the TargeListHandler.php in the custom/modules/Contacts directory, right?

And then how can "say": put all the contacts that in the field that i created i.e. the value is Location 1 into the right Target List and put all the contacts that in the field that i created i.e. the value is Location 2 into the other Target List???

Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate.
