Logic Hooks to add fields

[joeya]

(Sorry for my English, but my native language is Spanish)

Hello!
I'm a beginner in SugarCRM, and that maybe I have a question for many people seem simple.
I need to add two fields and display the result in a third field, I found the forum that this is done with logic hook, but I have a lot of confusion in my head, because apparently native modules for SugarCRM is a way for modules and Custom otherwise. I'm confused.
What I have done so far is as follows:

The module is b1c2d_Probabilidades, and its path is C: \ Program Files \ sugarcrm-5.5.1RC \ htdocs \ sugarcrm \ custom \ ModuleBuilder \ builds \ Prob \ SugarModules \ modules \ b1c2d_Probabilidades

Fields are I think add LBL_PLAZO and LBL_ANTECEDENTE, I say "think" because SugarCRM and named them automatically when you create them with the module builder (System Label:LBL_PLAZO) .

So what we've done is:
Create suma.php file in C: \ Program Files \ sugarcrm-5.5.1RC \ htdocs \ sugarcrm \ custom \ ModuleBuilder \ builds \ Prob \ SugarModules \ modules \ b1c2d_Probabilidades \ suma.php
which contains the following code:

if (defined ( 'sugarEntry') | |! sugarEntry) die ( 'Not A Valid Entry Point');

class sum (
calculateField function (& $ focus, $ event, $ arguments) (
$ focus-> amount = $ focus-> LBL_PLAZO + $ focus-> LBL_ANTECEDENTE;
)
)

Then, I modified the file b1c2d_Probabilidades.php, located in
C: \ Program Files \ sugarcrm-5.5.1RC \ htdocs \ sugarcrm \ custom \ ModuleBuilder \ builds \ Prob \ SugarModules \ modules \ b1c2d_Probabilidades \ b1c2d_Probabilidades.php

I modify it as follows:

<?php require_once('modules/b1c2d_Probabilidades/b1c2d_Probabilidades_sugar.php');
class b1c2d_Probabilidades extends b1c2d_Probabilidades_sugar {

function b1c2d_Probabilidades(){
parent::b1c2d_Probabilidades_sugar();
}

//I did from this

function retrieve($id) {
parent::retrieve($id);

$hook_version = 1;
$hook_array = Array();

$hook_array['before_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'suma', 'custom\modulebuilder\builds\Prob\SugarModules\mod ules\b1c2d_Probabilidades\suma.php', 'suma', 'suma');

return $this;
}

function save($check_notify = false) {
$hook_version = 1;
$hook_array = Array();

$hook_array['before_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'suma', 'custom\modulebuilder\builds\Prob\SugarModules\mod ules\b1c2d_Probabilidades\suma.php', 'suma', 'suma');

parent::save($check_notify);

return $this->id;
}
//to that

}
?>

But it did not work, how do I do? I'm lost?

Please, help me

Thanks a lot

Hi joeya,
There should be no problem in using logic_hooks for custom modules. I have used this multiple times.

Are you sure you have a file 'logic_hooks.php' in 'custom/modules/<your_module_name>' ?? with something like this

<?php
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, testtype, 'custom/modules/<your_module_name>/<your_file_name>.php', '<your_class_name>', '<your_function_name>');
?>

You would also need a file '<your_file_name>.php' with a class and function that corresponds to the above declaration.

you should be then able to access the two fields via $bean-field1 etc. to add to your third field. When you save, the third field will show the reults of the calculation.
