SideQuickCreate support added in Studio

[kenneth.thorman]

The left side collapsible div that is defined by the sidecreateviewdefs.php in modules/MYMODULE/metadata/sidecreatviewdefs.php which is a copy of the file in include/SugarObjects/templates/.../metadata/sidecreateviewdefs.php always contains the same fields.
Namely: name, description, assigned to.

I wanted to add support for modifying this in Studio like QucikCreate, ListView ...

I have slightly modified several files under modules/ModuleBuilder and it works display wise.
But there is a javascript error in studio2.js

(please see attached file)

I have attached the SVN patch file to the 510b release code. I have been unable to track what it is I am missing to get the last part working, any sugar gurus out there?

I guess this also should be of interest for the Sugar devs?

UPDATE: This works now
Here are both the SVN patch file created against the 510b release source code as well as a zip file of the entire ModuleBuilder directory under modules for those that does not have SVN. Both files are zipped in the attached file ModuleBuilder.zip

Installation:
1. Unzip
2. Copy the unzipped ModuleBuilder to SUGARINSTALLATION/moduels/ overwriting the existing directory.
3. Admin repair, both quick repair and clear template cache files (otherwise it does not seem to rebuild the ModeulBuilder language file with the new label.

This seems to be an error in the implementation in module/ModuleBuilder/javascript/studio2.js

line 177,178

_write_("received for unregister: "+field.id);
if(field==null || typeof(field) == 'undeifned'){ return; }

I have changed this to

if(field==null || typeof(field) == 'undefined'){
_write_("received for unregister: field is null");
return;
}
_write_("received for unregister: "+field.id);
// if(field==null || typeof(field) == 'undeifned'){ return; }


And it seems to work now

THIS IS FIXED AND WORKING NOW

Here are both the SVN patch file created against the 510b release source code as well as a zip file of the entire ModuleBuilder directory under modules for those that does not have SVN.

Installation:
1. Unzip
2. Copy the unzipped ModuleBuilder to SUGARINSTALLATION/moduels/ overwriting the existing directory.

Does anyone have any input on how to allow editing of the additional settings that can be set on a field level in the sidecreateviewdefs.php, using studio when clicking on the pencil for the individual fields?

This might be useful for studio and modulebuilder in general as well.

I am working on bringing the rest of the relevant named array entires in to both ModuleBuilder and Studio so you can completely avoid editing those pesky *defs files. We will use this internally for quick dev of apps on top of Sugar. If there is any interest here on the forum maybe we could join forces, or clean up the code a bit more and release it either on Sugarforge or request that this was included in core. For this to happen we need an indication first if anyone is interested?

I am definitely interested in using this and helping.
Ultimately looking for a way to have multiple EditViews with different metadata files in Studio.
