re-using module (Proposal as Quote)

[ElGato]

I have pro_proposal module installed in my system. Each Proposal object contains set of pro_proposal products

Now I need to use Quotes. Quote must be copy of Proposal. I mean Quote must contain same info as Proposal including products.

I guess I need deep Quotes and Products (which linked with Quotes) customization. In other hand, I already have Proposal which match my needs.

Is there any way to reuse Proposal like Quote? May be I can add some flag to Proposal, something like 'is_quote_mode'?


I want to avoid code duplication in my 'Proposal' and 'Quotes' modules

There are various ways of doing this but one of the most straightforward is to use logic hooks:

1. On Quotes module, add a relate field to Proposals i.e. when you create a quote you can link it to Proposal.
2. Create logic hook (after save) on Quotes (see wiki) that picks up Proposal Id
3. In logic hook, retrieve related Proposal and populate Quote fields

It does mean that you have to save the Quote to retrieve the proposal.

If this is not suitable I can suggest more!
