Cancel an edit from a logic hook

[luisfdo]

hi Superman, i tried your way to get messages on the editview, but i'm getting this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.hobbes/lotusftp/lotus.calixnet.com/modules/calix_Temas_Gescom/views/view.edit.php on line 6

here is my view.edit.php

 <?php
 
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.detail.php');
 
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');
 
 
class calix_Temas_GescomViewEdit extends ViewEdit {
 
 
  public function display() {
 
    foreach ($_SESSION['calix_Temas_Gescom'] as $field_name => $value) {
 
      if (isset($this->ev->fieldDefs[$field_name])) {
 
        $this->ev->fieldDefs[$field_name]['value'] = $value;
 
      }
 
    }
 
    parent::display();
 
  }
 
 
}  
 
?>  

Thank you

This is great...thanks!

Prefilling EditView form with data from SESSION or GET is quite intuitive.
Example for module Case:
1. $_SESSION should be constructed as
$_SESSION['Cases']['name'] = 'blabla';
$_SESSION['Cases']['priority'] = 'chihuahua';
$_SESSION['Cases']['assigned_user_id'] = 'user_identification_string';

2. We are loading EditView screen, let's prefill fields.
There are several ways of where we could place code, I choose /custom/modules/Cases/views/view.edit.php

 require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.detail.php');
class CasesViewEdit extends ViewEdit {
  public function display() {
    foreach ($_SESSION['Cases'] as $field_name => $value) {
      if (isset($this->ev->fieldDefs[$field_name])) {
        $this->ev->fieldDefs[$field_name]['value'] = $value;
      }
    }
    parent::display();
  }
}

I get it. My code is like this:

 require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.edit.php');
require_once('data/SugarBean.php');


class myModuleViewEdit extends ViewEdit {



    public function display() {

          
        if(isset($_SESSION ['myModule']) && isset($_SESSION ['erro']) ){

            echo '<p class="error">';
            echo '<b>';
            echo $_SESSION['erro'];
            echo '</b>';
            echo '</p>';
            foreach ($_SESSION ['myModule'] as $field_name=>$value) {

                if (isset($field_name)) {

                    $this->ev->focus->$field_name = $value;
                }
            }

            unset ($_SESSION ['myModule']);
            unset ($_SESSION ['erro']);
            
         

        }
        parent::display();
    }

} 
  

And I seed two $_SESSION arrays in the logic_hook function. One called 'myModule' and another called 'erro'.

This way I can print an occasional error, and fill the form.

What about using the toArray() and fromArray() functions instead ?

To Create the session :

 $_SESSION['temporaryData'] = $focus->toArray(); 
  

And restore the bean:

 $focus->fromArray($_SESSION['temporaryData']);

Hi, I am trying to implement this "block the save" and "redirect to editview" strategy, to try and implement some business rules server-side. I am not having any joy trying to "redirect to editview" when the starting point is a subpanel quickcreate. Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance.

            echo '<p class="error">';
            echo '<b>';
            echo $_SESSION['erro'];
            echo '</b>';
            echo '</p>';
            foreach ($_SESSION ['myModule'] as $field_name=>$value) {
 
                if (isset($field_name)) {
 
                    $this->ev->focus->$field_name = $value;
                }
            }
 
            unset ($_SESSION ['myModule']);
            unset ($_SESSION ['erro']);
            
         
 
        }
        parent::display();

This is an ingenious way to cancel a save operation AND to show an appropriate error message. Unfortunately this is flawed for PRO and ENT versions because they both have field-level permissions which you can make a field readonly.

Let me explain: the problem occurs when you retrieve the values using the above method and populate each of the field variables, you will NOT be able to save these readonly fields when you press the save button (assuming that all validations pass) because view.edit.php respects the role-based permissioning for that user. You may see the value in the readonly field in the EditView, but when you save, the NULL value will actually be stored in the db, not the value that you stored in the SESSION variable. The view.edit.php is not run just like logic hooks, but is run with the permissions of the role(s) the user has. This makes no sense at all since this file is trying to automate a task just like logic hooks and should be run accordingly, but instead it is run as though a user was populating the fields with its permissions.

Generally, SugarCRM did NOT do a good job to create a proper framework on data validation to show error messages. Something very simple that you would find in off-the-shelf apps, but not in Sugar. Strange.

This is brilliant and I have been using this across all modules in CE. I noticed today that it doesn't work when you edit from the list view, and then click "Save & Continue" instead of "Save".

Did I miss some obvious code? Thanks.

} 
  

Now Sugar 6.4 available. When you change the edit.view.php still? The code is dirty. For there can be problems with other programmers who make the same and install this with her packages. What is the better solution? Where are the offical sugar gurus
