Setting a Team in view.edit.php

[chrislynch8]

Hi,

I am trying to set the team of a record to a certain Team always, no matter who created it. I am using the view.edit.php, I have done this before for many other modules ot inherite the Team of the Parent Record..

I have the following code in the view.edit.php in the display function

 function display(){
$this->ev->process;
$query="SELECT id from teams WHERE name = 'Area 886' ";
$res=$this->bean->db->query($query);
$row=$this->bean->db->fetchByAssoc($res);
If(!empty($row)){
$this->ev->fieldDefs['team_id']['value'] = $row['id'];
$this->ev->fieldDefs['team_set_id']['value'] = $row['id'];
}
parent::display();
} 
  

I have echoed the ID of the Team that is selected in the Query and it is correct, I have also Echoed $this->ev->fieldDefs['team_id']['value'] and the Team_Set_id after setting them and they are both correct.

But when I create/edit a record the Team is not set and it is going to the users default team. Any one noticed an issue with the code?

My guess is that you'd need to do it in a before_save or after_save hook instead of before loading the edit screen. There may be logic processing during the save that is overriding your preference.

Hi,

I found that if I remove the parent::display() and include echo $this->ev->display() it works
