QuickCreate form in subpanel does not create relationship

[johnfd]

Hi all,

I' m facing the following issue. I have added a Contacts subpanel in my custom module's detail view with 'Create' and 'Select' buttons to display related contacts. The 'Create' button is configured to display the Contacts QuickCreate form. When I click 'Save' to create a new contact with this form, the contact record is created correctly BUT the relationship between the contact record and my module's record is not saved in the relationship table.

please help

Hi!

As rule you have to write your custom code for creating relations in each situation.

You have to investigate the file

modules/Contacts/ContactFormBase.php

there are few examples how to create or update relationships

hope it will help you

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.
Well, I don't get it. I've already created the files to build the relationship between the Contacts module and my module. And it seems to be ok because I can create related contacts. If I press the 'Select' button in the subpanel, the Contacts popup is shown and I can select records to relate to my module's record and displayed ok. The problem is when I press the 'Create' button and the QuickCreate form is displayed, the contact record that is being created after 'Save' is not related to my module's record. I need again to press the 'Select' button, find the newly created contact and select it.
I have no problem coding the creation of the relationship between the 2 records if I can hook to the saving process. Is there any code in my module that is being called so I can use it and actually create the relationship when I press 'Save'? Or should I create a new button widget for the 'Create' button?

Any help would be appreciated
