Question Before_Save Logic Hook

[jlabuelo]

Hi there

Lets see if you can give me a hand here. I am trying to set up a before_save logic hook for one of my custom modules. Have followed the instructions in the wiki (I think correctly) but dont get the process to work.

Let me explain you the situation, In my custom module, what I want to get is sugar to check, before the record is saved, if ,when two specific values, of two dropdown files, are selected to check if a third text value is null.

If so an alert message should appear, and if not the record should be saved.

To get this Ihave created a logic_hook.php file in custom/modules/Pacie_Pacientes/ whith this content

 <?php
// Do not store anything in this file that is not part of the array or the hook version.  This file will    
// be automatically rebuilt in the future. 
$hook_version = 1; 
$hook_array = Array(); 
// position, file, function 
$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'Pacientes', 'custom/modules/Pacie_Pacientes/Comprobaciones.php','Comprobaciones', 'Comprobaciones'); 
 
 
 
?>  

Then I have created a php field called Comprobaciones.php in also custom/modules/Pacie_Pacientes/ with this code

 <?PHP
/********************************************************************************/
/**
 * THIS CLASS IS FOR DEVELOPERS TO MAKE CUSTOMIZATIONS IN
 */
class Comprobaciones {
        
    function Comprobaciones(&$bean, $event, $arguments) {
            
// This funtion will check for records with field "estado" with value "Terminado" and field "respuesta" has value "Positiva", then 
// the field "coste_expediente" Cannot be null
 
// if so the record will be saved correctly, if not an alert message should be shown.
// 
 
        if($bean->estado == 'Terminado'){
               if($bean->respuesta == 'Positiva'){$bean->CheckCoste($bean, $event);}
           
            
        }else  {parent::save($event);}
        
        
       
    }
    
    
// CheckCoste will check if the field is null or not, if it is an alert message should be shown and the record //must not be saved
//    
    
    function CheckCoste(&$bean, $event){
          if($bean->coste_expediente == '')
          {
          // Alert message
          alert("Coste field should not be empty, please add the right value before saving.");
          }
          else
          {parent::save($event);}
  }
    
    
}
?>  

Could you please let me know why I dont get this logic hook to work??

Thanks a lot

Hi jlabuelo

If you would like to alert some message before saving the record, so you should add some javascript on save button the way this javascript calls some php script thru syncrhonous ajax.

Hi Andre

Thanks for the help. I have created the JS function to be called and check if the rule to show the alert message is correct or not before saving. However could you point me to any explanation where says how I can add this JS code to the Save button on a custom module, and also if possible, how can I make the record not being saved if the condition occurs?.

Thanks a lot

 function Check_Save() 
{ 
  var resply = document.getElementById('respuesta');
  var resply_str = resply.value;
  var status_str = document.getElementById('estado').value;
  var coste_str = document.getElementById('coste_expediente').value;
  
 
   if ((resply_str == 'Positiva') && (status_str=='Terminado'))
  {
   
    if ((coste_str='') || (coste_str='0'))
     {
       alert ('Atención no puede guardar un Expediente en estado TERMINADO con Coste de Expediente nulo!');
       
     }    
  }
 
 
} 
  

Also I would like to build a mail and send it with SugarCRM to the mail address of the user assigned to the record of this custom module, but just depending on a field value. I was thinking I could do this with the Before_save logic hook with this "field checking" any suggestions on how I can do this??
