Sugar 5.2, create custom popup

[carlos gomez]

Hi, I am new in this sugar crm world.

Am using Sugar 5.2, and I want to create a popup than display a CallsQuickCreate when users click on the contact´s phone in the listview.

I had managed to create the popup as a link in the contact´s phone with a window.open() event refered to an action, however am stuck with the quick create.

I can create the form from the scratch, and use ajax to send the data to the Calls module asking to save, but must be a more easy way to do it using the framework.

any help is accepted.

can this be done by editing the popupdefs?

you'll have to do a few things here:
modify your list views so that you link the contact's phone number to an action; can be open_popup, but you'll have to pass an additional parameter in, so that you can create a custom view to match the parameter, so that you can display a custom quick create form.

I updated the list view, so the phone number has a little phone pic, this pic does a window.open to a custom action, this custom action uses a socket to generate a call in asterisk using AMI, following Asterisk Voice RD Integration idea.

the custom action uses a .tpl file to generate my own form; this form post data in Calls module asking to save action. The only issue than am missing is the time fomat for the date_start value than my form sends. The date_start field in db allways fills with '01/01/2000', no matter what datetime format I send.

Any idea how to access this sugar datetime format??

Finally, I use global $timedate object to understand this a bit better, at the end all i have to do was to generate my dates with php´s date function: date("d/m/Y h:mA"), so $timedate was able to understand my input and storage date time succesfully.
