values between modules

[ddfdom]

Hi everybody,

I'm using sugar crm 5.2 CE and I'm searching a very simple function

I would like the value of the field phone office of the account module to appear in the listview of the contact module

if somebody has an idea

and sorry for my bad english

• Create an extended vardefs for Contacts to add the account phone field into Contacts vardefs. This field needs to be a non-db one;
• Create an extended language to Contacts to set the label of such field;
• Create a logic_hook process record to fill into this field the appropriate value.

Cheers

thanks andopes for your reply but i'm not very familiar with sugarCRM terms, and your post is like "chinese" for me
bur i was learning reading the Vardefs Documentation in the WiKi

If you do not know or understand how to create extended vardefs you can also create a custom field.

Add a custom field to Contacts in Studio - call it account_phone_office
(This does step 1 and 2 suggested by andopes for you, but will save it to the database)

Then use the editLogicHooks tool in my signature and create a process_record logic hook on Contacts that contain this

 //Retrieve the related account
require_once "modules/Accounts/Acount.php";
$account = new Account();
$account->retrieve($bean->account_id);
 
// Set the new field on Contacts from the Account
$bean->account_phone_office_c = $account->phone_office; 
  

(This takes care of step 3)

Now simple add that field to the subpanel and you're done.
