logic hook hangs module

[kdaniel]

Hello all.

I'm new to sugercrm development and php.

I'm following the developers guide to creating custom hooks and want to add this function to calculate the total value over the next 5 years.
class kld_pipeline extends kld_pipeline_sugar {

function save($check_notify = FALSE){
$this->totalsummitcontract = $this->fy1 + $this->fy2 + $this->fy3 + $this->fy4 + $this->fy5;
$this->summitcut = $this->totalsummitcontract / $this->totalcontract;
$this->totalsummitrisk = $this->totalsummitcontract * $this->probwin / 100;
parent::save($check_notify);
}

function kld_pipeline(){
parent::kld_pipeline_sugar();
}


Ever time I save/deploy the module, the page is now blank and I have no errors on the screen. Is there an error log file I can look at for more information on why this hangs/dies/crashes?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, the documentation also says this is a better way.
Custom Bean files
Another method is to add code directly to the custom bean. This is the somewhat more complicated approach as it requires understanding the SugarBean class, but is a far more flexible and powerful approach.
First you must “build” your module. This can be done by either deploying your module or pressing the Publish button. Module Builder will then generate a folder for your package in “custom/modulebuilder/builds/”. Inside that folder is where Module Builder will have placed the bean files for your new module(s). In this case we want
“custom/modulebuilder/builds/MediaTracking/SugarModules/modules/jsche_mediarequest”
Inside you will find two files of interest. The first one is {module_name}sugar.php. This file is generated by Module Builder and may be erased by further changes in module builder or upgrades to the Sugar application. You should not make any changes to this file. The second is {module_name}.php. This is the file where you should make any changes you would like to the logic of your module. To add our timestamp, we would add the following code to jsche_mediarequest.php

So, why doesn't it work? I would rather code directly into the bean, than create generic hooks.

generic or not, better then bean coding directly with no assurance for upgrade safe ways.

As for your case, place the echo's all around and see why are u having problems and where.
