Custom Javascript tutorial

[Linnane]

Hi,

I've added custom JavaScript to a module ... its triggered when a checkbox is "checked" by the user, however if I modify the module in the admin - studio I loose my changes as the code is overwritten.

I kinda thought this would happen but don't know to do it without the "save & deploy" overwriting my code.

1) Is it possible ... I presume so?

2) Is there a novice tutorial just to get a "hello world!" from a checkbox onclick event?

Regards
Alan

Once you want to do more advanced changes as adding events and javascript code to your inputs, I recomment you do to do that via coding not studio.
1. Open the file editviewdefs.php for your module.
2. Add customCode to your field.
3. Open sugar via web interface, go to admin area, go to repair, and request a repair/rebuild.

This way your changes will be depoloyed.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply

Does this mean I lose the ability to use the Studio for that module forever?
Or is it that after I do a repair/rebuild, I can reuse the studio again?

The editviewdefs.php you referred to, is that's the one in "custom\modules\[module_name]\metadata" ?
