Show field 'date' when field 'checkbox' is true

[fbrites]

Hi,

In module 'Project' I created custom fields to manage the stages of Projects.

I create custom fields type date and checkbox. I want that when the 'checkbox' = '1', appear the field date.
When the 'checkbox' ='0 ', doesn't appear the field date.

For example, in image http://www.dibconsulting.com/sites/images/check.jpg describes what I want:

- When 'Aceitacao Cliente' = '1 '=> Shows' Data Aceitacao'
- When 'Inicio Trabalhos' = '0' => no shows' Data Inicio'
- And it the same for other fields.

Someone can help me?

Thank you

This is possible, but not via built-in functionality. You would need to add some custom JavaScript to the desired page which in turn evaluates whether or not the box is being checked/unchecked and then hides/displays the date field accordingly.

Thanks Angel,

I read some theards and I know that it is necessary to customize JavaScript.

I only have to customize the file 'module_name.js' and 'editviewdefs.php'? Or I have to also customize file 'editview.php'?

Thank you

I found one thread with what I wanted to do: http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24864 (thanks Andopes).

I want to enable and disable the date field based on the selection of the checkbox. If the check box is selected, the date field is selected and if the check box is not selected then the date field is disabled.

I'm working with SugarCRM 5.0.0e and in this version doesn't have file 'editview.html'.

What files I do this?

Thanks

Hi,
You just need to modify editviewdefs.php adding a javascript call with onchange method and an include of your external .js file. Then edit your .js file adding the function to hide/show the date field.
At the end, clear template data cache and rebuild relationships.

For the javascript function, you can try the one suggested by Andopes in the other thread you mentioned.
For editviewdefs.php you can try something like this:

 ...
        'includes' => 
        array (
          0 => 
          array (
            'file' => 'custom/include/javascript/myJavascript.js', //change path and filename with yours
          ),
        ),
 ),
      'panels' => 
      array (
...
            array (
              'name' => 'mycheckbox_c', // or whatever it's called
              'label' => 'LBL_MYCHECKBOX', // or whatever it is
              'displayParams' => array (
                                              'javascript' => 'onchange="myfunction();"' //change with your function's name
                                              ),
            ),
...

Hi Dragonfly,

I'm having some problems.

I think I'm committing an error in the .js file.

I am following the Andolopes thread but I must be doing something wrong.

You can write me the .js code as done in previous thread?

Thanks Dragonfly
