Selectable fields in Sub-Panel How To activate Clickability

[Doudounka]

Hello,

How can someone activate a field or make a field in a sub panel clickable to bring up the full data.

As you can see on image 1 nothing is clickable as a subpanel.

On image 2, which is the list view of the module, only "NOM" (name) is clickable to bring up data. That same field is not clickable in sub panel.

Also is there anyway to make custom fields clickable to view full data ?

That specific module will not use the "NAME" field, for it will be used as a customer's equipment owned with drop down menus to select make, year etc.

Thank you

You need to edit the script modules/<ModuleName>/metadata/subpanels/default.php and edit the field just like this example I copied from modules/Calls/metadata/subpanels/ForHistory.php

         'contact_name'=>array(
             'widget_class'            => 'SubPanelDetailViewLink',
             'target_record_key'    => 'contact_id',
             'target_module'        => 'Contacts',
             'module'                => 'Contacts',
             'vname'                => 'LBL_LIST_CONTACT',
             'width'                => '11%',
             'sortable'=>false,
        ),

Thank you,

So it can only be done in PHP mode ? Of which we do not have acces to. And we have to pay to have things modified.

I think Sugar is to heavily dependent on PHP and not enough on friendly user customization. Sometime seems like simple things are left off specifically for non programmers to give job to PHP programmers. I stress on sometimes, and this seems to be the case now. Like it wouldn't be hard in the field creation window to have a check box for Linkable and sortable which would go and do true or false in the php.

But thanks for your answer, it's appreciated.

Definitely, this customization only can be done by code.

SugarCRM had improved a lot the user friendly customization, but definitely there are several features to implement.
In the real world only advanced users/developers are able to do advanced customization on application they play with. SugarCRM is an example.
If you try some CMS application or anything else you will face the same pain. This isn't a SugarCRM limitation at all.
