Why is the Quick Create form is out of tune with the Create record/Edit form??

[gverma]

Dear All,

I would appreciate any pointers and help on this issue:

I created a custom module and defined the edit form to look like this :



But the corresponding Quick create form on the left hand side panel looks like this:



why is this so? As you can see, the fields that are appearing on the Quick create Grants form are not even the fields that are seen on the edit form for Grants. Is this a known issue?

Grants is a custom module which has a many-to-one relationship with Projects. ie. One project can have multiple grants.

Thanks

There are some fields that are always created when you create a module. These are inherited from the base template you base your module on "Basic", "Customer" etc.

Fields include name, description, date modified, deleted etc. You can see them at the bottom if you go to view the fields for your module.

By default, the module builder lets you build the edit, detail and list views. But creating your module creates many more views automatically including the search, quick create and popup.

To amend the fields in the quick create, edit the sidecreateviewdefs.php in your module's directory.

Nick, this worked out fine. I had to modify the file $SUGAR_HOME/modules/cuspk_Grants/metadata/sidecreateviewdefs.php like this:

 <?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
 
global $mod_strings;
$viewdefs['cuspk_Grants']['SideQuickCreate'] = array(
    'templateMeta' => array('form'=>array('buttons'=>array('SAVE'),
                                                                      'button_location'=>'bottom',
                                          'headerTpl'=>'include/EditView/header.tpl',
                                          'footerTpl'=>'include/EditView/footer.tpl',
                                          ),
                                                        'maxColumns' => '1',
                                                        'panelClass'=>'none',
                                                        'labelsOnTop'=>true,
                            'widths' => array(
                                            array('label' => '10', 'field' => '30'),
                                         ),
                        ),
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// this portion after this marker was changed. After changing the fields, the sidepanel also changed accordingly

 'panels' =>array (
  'DEFAULT' =>
  array (
    array(^
      array('name'=>'project_name', 'displayParams'=>array('required'=>true,'size'=>20), 'selectOnly'=>true),
    ),
    array (
      array('name'=>'grant_amount','displayParams'=>array('required'=>true, 'size'=>20)),
    ),
    array (
      array('name'=>'grant_date', 'displayParams'=>array('required'=>true, 'size'=>11, 'selectOnly'=>true)),
    ),
  ),
 
 )
 
 
);
?>  

Now, the sidepanel looks like this: http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/attac...tid=3522&stc=1
