Logic Hook - Works in custom, not in main

[spyro187]

I created my first logic hook in the custom/module folder and it worked great. I decided to create an installer for my module so I built the zip and put the logic hook files in the module folder to be installed. I changed the file references and installed. The files required for the logic hook gets installed but no longer work. Do I have to do something different with logic hooks when they are in the main module dir and not the custom module dir? Do I need a post install script for some reason?

You can have the installer put the customer logic hook into the custom directory by just doing a copy in the manifest. You'll want to define (add) the logic hook then in the pre_install.php file

From http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.p...l_custom_logic:

 
<?php
 
if(!defined('sugarEntry'))define('sugarEntry', true);
 
function pre_install() {
 
   require_once('include/utils.php');
 
   check_logic_hook_file("Accounts", "after_retrieve", array(1, "update_description",  
      "include/FCKEditor/updateDescription.php", "updateDescription", "updateDescription"));
}
 
?>

Thank you for the information.

If I want to have it in the main module directory, is there any reason that would not work?

Why should I do a pre install script over a post install script?

Pre or Post should work just fine.

The logic_hooks.php file must be in the custom directory. If you want your custom hook to be in the main directory just change the path to it in your hook definition:

    check_logic_hook_file("Accounts", "after_retrieve", array(1, "update_description",  
      "modules/Accounts/UpdateDescription.php", "updateDescription", "updateDescription")); 
  

Notice that the path is modules/Accounts here. If you want it in the custom directory just add custom/ to the front of the path.

Hope that helps!

Logic hooks have to be in the custom directory. I think that was the issue because now it works correctly.

Thanks for all the help.
