Override class function

[hzara]

Hi all,

I need to override

include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php ---> class aSubPanel ---> function load_sub_subpanels()

because since sugar version 5.2 new code has been added to this function (from //call this function for sub-panels that have unions. on until the end of the funciont) that generates display problems with a custom subpanel display a colletion.

I've tryed almost everything (almost because I haven't found the solution.

Basically I need an upgrade safe solution que get rid of part of the code in standard function!

Thanks in advance.

To make a safe customization of this method, you could just move your customized file to:
custom/include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php

This way you can upgrade your sugarcrm system, and your changes will be keeped.

Rafael, thanks for your reply.

I've tryed what you porpose, but it doesn't work. It can't find the custom file. I even renamed the original file in the original folder, just to see if redirected to the custom directory, and didn't find it.

Got the following:
Warning: require_once(include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\axl_614_a\include\SubPanel\SubPane lTilesTabs.php on line 41.

I've tryed to force the custom file you sugest in the corresponding detailviewdefs.php, view.detail.php, and even the module been file, ... and no luck

Any other idea?

I have another upgrade safe solution.

If "custom/include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php" works for all subpanels, then my solution will only effect on one module.

You have to prepare two custom class:
- CustomSubPanelDefinitions (which extends "include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php")
- CustomSubPanelTiles (which extends "include/SubPanel/SubPanelTiles.php")

Then, override function _displaySubPanels() in your view.detail.php.

     function _displaySubPanels() {
        if (isset($this->bean) && !empty($this->bean->id) && (file_exists('modules/' . $this->module . '/metadata/subpaneldefs.php') || file_exists('custom/modules/' . $this->module . '/metadata/subpaneldefs.php') || file_exists('custom/modules/' . $this->module . '/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php'))) {
            $GLOBALS['focus'] = $this->bean;
            require_once ('custom/modules/<YOUR MODULE>/views/CustomSubPanelTiles.php');
            $subpanel = new CustomSubPanelTiles($this->bean, $this->module);
            echo $subpanel->display();
        }
    } 
  

CustomSubPanelTiles.php

 require_once ('include/SubPanel/SubPanelTiles.php');
require_once ('custom/modules/<YOUR MODULE>/views/CustomSubPanelDefinitions.php');

class CustomSubPanelTiles extends SubPanelTiles {

    function CustomSubPanelTiles(&$focus, $layout_def_key='', $layout_def_override = '') {
        parent::SubPanelTiles(&$focus, $layout_def_key, $layout_def_override);
        $this->subpanel_definitions = new CustomSubPanelDefinitions($focus, $layout_def_key, $layout_def_override);
    }

} 
  

CustomSubPanelDefinitions.php

 require_once('include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php');
class CustomSubPanelDefinitions extends SubPanelDefinitions {

    function CustomSubPanelDefinitions($focus, $layout_def_key = '', $layout_def_override = '') {
        parent::SubPanelDefinitions($focus, $layout_def_key, $layout_def_override);
    }

    function load_subpanel($name, $reload = false, $original_only = false) {
        if (!is_dir('modules/' . $this->layout_defs['subpanel_setup'][strtolower($name)]['module']))
            return false;

        // CUSTOM CODE

        return new aSubPanel($name, $this->layout_defs['subpanel_setup'][strtolower($name)], $this->_focus, $reload, $original_only);
    }
} 
  

You can rebuild your aSubPanel inner class in the CustomSubPanelDefinitions.

I hope this can help you.

Hi Herb,

Have you tried Pan Jun's method OR found an alternate solution. I am looking for similar solution where I need to customize SubPanel class (the constructor function)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
