    Default System fields disappear from toolbox

    I added several custom fields in the accounts module. Many of the system fields that originally populated the detail and edit views I moved over to the delete section in the toolbox. Apparently "delete" means to never use again, because those system fields (ie work_phone, home_phone, etc) have disappeared from the toolbox section in the layout editor (only my custom fields are visible). This has happened in all the modules I have been working on.

    Any ideas as how to restore those original system fields for use in the layout editor?



    * Sugar Open Source 4.5.0f
    * Apache 2.2.3
    * MySQL 5.0.24a
    * PHP 5.1.6 & PHP 4.4.4
    * phpMyAdmin 2.9.0.1
    * FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.18
    * OpenSSL 0.9.8d

    Studio seems to have a bug. If you go into studio, edit a module, edit accounts, and then edit the suppanel contacts, add a column, it's luck if you get anything saved the way you want. It also lets the Field "Name" from contacts disapear.

    Cool Re: System fields disappear from toolbox

    Since nobody has yet to explain things a bit...

    open up the desired view file into your html editor (NO WYSIWYGS!!) of which is located in
    custom/modules/modulename/viewfilename.html

    Spend some time looking at those files, it's really simple stuff, and if you can't make heads or tails of it, then quit while you're ahead..

    You should see tables, sugar 'slot' tags, and sugar variable name expressions which end up being replaced by data from Sugar.

    If you're missing some label, or field, etc.. Simply add it...
    And if you haven't a clue as to what to add, or what things should look like, etc.. lol

    Open up in your html editor, an original (uneditied or modified) copy of that view file from sugar..
    I.e. install a clean/fresh copy of sugar to use for comparison purposes..

    If you're not concerned with your view file being studio compatible, then modify the view files located in:
    modules/modulename/viewfilename.html

    Note that you will need to 'publish' the studio view files before they will be visible/useable in sugar.

    And as for studio, let's just forget that word or that it even exists..

    Get familiar with the view files, and manually editing them... It' isn't hard! Rather, it's really easy and simplisitic though more time consuming... But that's life... Nothing comes easy nor free, especially the good things in life...

    And as for studio, the most stable version we've found is 450c, but even then we still have to fix things..
