OpenSales: how to add a new account field

[arffup]

I'm using OpenSales by Rustin Phares I only use Products and Quotes version 1.0.0rc1 and SugarCE 5.0a

In Quotes module when you select an Account, automatically fills the fields address, state, city, country, postal..... I want to add a new field in this list.

Maybe I want to add the sic_code (Account field) so I modify EditView.html in order to add the new textbox, add the new variable in vardefs, and I add the label to my field.

In Quotes side sic_code would be named rfc.

I search in EditView.php and modify:

 $popup_request_data = array (
      ´call_back_function' => 'set_return',
     'form_name'            => 'EditView',
.......................................................
       'id' =>'billing_account_name',
......................................................
      'billing_address_country' => "billing_postal",
       'sic_code           =>   "rfc",
   ),
); 
  

the next line use popup_request_data into encoded_billing_account_popup_request_data, used in EditView.html in order to call every account field necesary.

some lines below (editview.php):

 $xtpl -> assign ('BILLING_ACCOUNT', $focus->billing_account);
$xtpl -> assign ('BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID', $focus->billing_account_id);
...............................................
...............................................
$xtpl -> assign ('BILLING_STATE', $focus->state);
$xtpl -> assign ('RFC', $focus->rfc); 
  

I think this is enough but I can't have the rfc (or sic_code) If I manually fill the field, the content is correctly saved in DB and correctly shown in DetailView and further EditView, but If I use the button select in order to call n Account, I obtain the default fields for accounts in Quotes and a blank space in my new field.

So the problem is when I call the account and I not obtain my value. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks

Maybe you should rename the field 'name' from the Account module to RFC, this will fix your problem.

When the system do a search into accounts it will return the field 'name'

By the way thanks for your solution, i was trying to find the easiest way to add a field into opensales ....
