Creating custom logic hooks for buttons

[tobydz]

Hello Sugar friends! I've created a custom button on the Notes module detailview called "Next"(and someday a 'Prev' button) which will (eventually) iterate back and forth through all the notes for a given module record without the user having to hit 'back' to see the list of notes in the subpanel view. I'm familiar with using the existing hooks, but I'm going to need it to execute my own code, with the current $bean data available.

How can this be accomplished, or if there's a better way of doing it, I'm open to anything....

This is a nice idea to implement, congrats for the insight!
At first you need to decide what is the ordering criteria. Date Entered? Date Modified? Anything else?
The action of such button must be a custom action, to be defined inside custom Notes controller.
This action must combine search criteria, current record and parent type in order to fetch either the next or last one, then redirect page to such record.

Cheers

Thanks for the compliment Andre! =D Ok great I'll look into the controller. For the purposes of our company, we don't allow employees to edit notes, so I'll be basing this upon Date Created (since there is not Date Modified for us). I'll post to this thread if I have any questions!

Cheers!

Hi, I'm new to Sugar and I really need help.

I created a new module using sugar "module builder" as a model that uses the "base". I created all the parameters set by the instrument "study", but I need to add a "custom action" when you click the save button. that is, when I click on the button "save" is made even my code.

I tried the file with actions triggered on click "save" to add my code but I have not found anything.
Congratulations to everyone for the great advice in the forum, I hope in your help. Many thanks in advance

hi iDavide,

why you are trying to customize your save button?? you can code in logic hook event hooks after_save or add new custom button and write your code there. Will it complete your achievement???

thanks for the answer!
I built my "custom module" with module builder, when i click on save button I need to run my "custom query" on a value entered, and that I update a field in another table.
I am new to Sugar, what can I do?
- Create a new module controller with post_save action?

you could give me an example? thanks a lot, best reguards!
