Logic Hooks in custom module

[Rajesh Patel]

I am using sugarcrm5j release

I have created custom module using module builder and want to insert logic hooks on that custom module. i have gone thru all the post in forums and read the documentation also but not able to apply logic hooks.

when saving record in custom module i want to insert one more record in other table this event should occur in after_save.

Pls help to implement login hooks in custom modules.

Consider installing the package editLogicHook.
It is available on sugarforge.

Cheers

I have install the custom logic hooks but it is not working, i have added the following code using the logic hooks

The two files are created when "Create and Edit Logig Hooks" plugin is used they are saved in "sugar/custom/modules/CVN". here CVN is my module name which i have created using module builder.

logic_hooks.php Code

<?php
$hook_version=1;
$hook_array = Array();
$hook_array['after_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['after_save'] = Array(1,'save','custom/modules/CVN/save-after_save_mjvn.php','save_class','save_method');
?>

save-after_save_mjvn.php Code

<?php
class save_class
{
function save_method(&$bean, $event, $arguments=null)
{
if ($event != 'after_save') return;
// Insert your custom logic between these comments

$sql = "insert into CVN_Details (CVNBookno, CVNno) values ('1','2')";
$result = $bean->db->query($sql,true);

// Insert your custom logic between these comments
}
}
?>

How do i check whether logic hooks are trigger or not..
I have read all the documents related to logic hooks but none was found helpful

Please suggest...

Hey!

EditLogicHooks has a tricky problem. It doesn't assigns the module name with the key you created for yout custom module, and then he creates a diferent folder.

Let's say you have created your custom module called Events with the key patel, then your module will have the custom folder patel_Events.

The problem here is, when editLogicHooks deploys your logic file, it creates the folder custom/Events and NOT custom/patel_Events.

I had that problem before, what you need to do is, after your first deploy copy the file logic_hooks.php inside the custom/Events folder to the custom/patel_Events.

You just need to do that once per logic file you create.

So when you have handcrafted a custom module, you might be better off by implementing your own bean class than fiddling with logic hooks

Module builder creates two bean classes right away, one is meant for customizations.

An initial guess would be to overwrite function save_relationship_changes() - perhaps have a look in SugarBean.php for further enlightenment...

Firstly I have fixed the bug lightningspirit mentions in my newest release of editLogicHooks (and I corrected the spelling :-)

You are absolutely right though - in your own modules it is much better to customise the bean file <module>.php directly rather than using logic hooks.

This can be done prior to deployment in custom/modulebiulder/builds/<package>/SugarModules/<module>/<module>.php

You have to overwrite the save method to do before_save and after_save actions and the retrieve method for before/after_retrieve.

 function save($check_notify = FALSE)
{
   // before_save here
 
   parent::save($check_notify);
 
  // after_save here
} 
  

PS: Tx for the recommendation Andre.

Thanks for the recomendations. Perhaps, it can be a better choice to implement inside the bean.
But, i'm just wondering, if i deploy the module again my changes will be erased or not?

No, they will not. After publishing or deploying your modules the first time the module builder creates a folder
custom/modulebuilder/builds/<package>/SugarModules/modules/<module>/ than contain the file
custom/modulebuilder/builds/<package>/SugarModules/modules/<module>/<module>.php which is the bean file for your new module.

The module builder creates that file only once and will never overwrite it again, specifically so that you can make customisations in there.
