Where the Create Lead form parameters go?

[dskanth]

Hi, i want to send an email to the specified email address in the create Lead form.
But my problem is that iam not able to find where the form fields go after we click on Save button.

I mean, in the create Lead form, we specify the fields like Name, Title, Email, etc. and i want to know in which page we can catch these fields, so that i can send an email to the mentioned address.

PLease guide me, iam just unable to get it.

You can do that using a logic_hook before_save.

The logic_hook function may invoke this function

     function send_mail($to, $name, $message) {
        require_once("modules/Administration/Administration.php");
        require_once("include/SugarPHPMailer.php");
 
        $mail  = new SugarPHPMailer;
        $admin = new Administration();
        $admin->retrieveSettings();
 
        if ($admin->settings['mail_sendtype'] == "SMTP") {
            $mail->Mailer = "smtp";
            $mail->Host = $admin->settings['mail_smtpserver'];
            $mail->Port = $admin->settings['mail_smtpport'];
 
            if ($admin->settings['mail_smtpauth_req']) {
                $mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
                $mail->Username = $admin->settings['mail_smtpuser'];
                $mail->Password = $admin->settings['mail_smtppass'];
            }
        }
 
        $mail->From = $admin->settings['notify_fromaddress'];
        $mail->FromName = (empty($admin->settings['notify_fromname'])) ? "" : $admin->settings['notify_fromname'];
 
        $mail->AddAddress($to->email1, $to->name);
        $mail->Body = wordwrap($message, 900);
        //$mail->Body = from_html(trim($message));
        $mail->AltBody = from_html(trim($message));
        $mail->Subject = from_html(($name));
        $mail->Send();
    } 
  

The first argument is an object containing the fields name (first_name + full_name) and email1.

Cheers

Hi andopes, thanks a lot for posting code here. However, this did not work for me.
please clarify a small thing. I was able to write a mail function in the Logic hook function and send it, but the "To" address must be taken from the Email field of the
Create Lead form. How to get this field value from the form and use it to send mail ?

Please help.

Hi Dskanth

I m very new to SugarCRM and i dont know how to use logic hooks . so can u can tell me briefly about how to use logic hooks. I have read the manual but there are not plenty of examples given in it and second thing i m interested to know is how u have implemented this logic hooks to send mail to a person who has got the lead. Can u can paste that code for me.

Waiting for your valuable reply.

Hi, first you need to download the logic hooks module from here: http://www.sugarforge.org/frs/downlo...Hook-1.0.2.zip
Then you go to Admin > Module Loader, and browse to this module zip folder and Upload, then install it by clicking on Install. Accept the license and install it.
Then go to Admin > Logic hooks at the bottom page, and create a new logic hook.
Select the Leads module, before_save and give any name to your logic hook, and click Proceed.
Then, insert the code given above by Andopes, between the comments, and you are done.

For me, unfortunately the above code did not work, but i could atleast write a sample mail function there, and get it work.

And ya for your kind information. I am using SugarCRM 5.02f community edition with RHEL 5 , with mysql 5.0 and Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 DAV/2 and PHP/5.2.10

[dskanth]

Hi, for the zip files to upload properly, check that the zlib extension is not commented in your php.ini file, and also ensure that the cache, custom and modules folders are writable.
Copy the php.ini file to your Apache/bin folder, Restart your apache server and try again.
Or try with this another version of module: http://www.sugarforge.org/frs/downlo...1237003708.zip
