Validations on Delete from ListView (Massupdate)

[jasv]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like make some validations on the ListView when i click on Delete Button. i.e. To validate that an Account cannot be delete if it has Opportunities associated.

My question is, Where this validations must be done???

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

I'm sure Andopes has an upgrade-safe way of doing this ( ) but here's a not-upgrade-safe way. Open include/MassUpdate.php and look for this section of code:

                 if(isset($_POST['Delete'])){
                    $this->sugarbean->retrieve($id);
                    if($this->sugarbean->ACLAccess('Delete')){
                        $this->sugarbean->mark_deleted($id);
                    }
                } 
  

And add a check to see if it is an Account bean and if there is an opportunity associated with it:

                 if(isset($_POST['Delete'])){
                    $this->sugarbean->retrieve($id);
                    if($this->sugarbean->ACLAccess('Delete')){
                                            if($this->sugarbean->object_name == 'Account') {
                                                      //check to see if an opp is associated to this account...if so do NOT delete
                                                      $this->sugarbean->get_linked_beans('opportunities','Opportunity');
                                                      if(empty($this->sugarbean->opportunities)) {
                                   $this->sugarbean->mark_deleted($id);
                                                      }
                                            } else {
                        $this->sugarbean->mark_deleted($id);
                                            }
                    }
                } 
  

This has not been verified to work so please test first.

Good luck!

Hi eggsurplus

I believe you had got the best non-upgrade safe way to do this.
I browsed a bit into code and it seems there is no upgrade way to perform this action.
Congratulations.

Best regards

Hi, thanks for the answer...

I had to do a change to make it work. I do not know if it is optimum, but it works for me.

      if($this->sugarbean->object_name == 'Account') {
              //check to see if an opp is associated to this account...if so do NOT delete
              $opp = $this->sugarbean->get_linked_beans('opportunities','Opportunity');
              if(count($opp)==0) {
                    $this->sugarbean->mark_deleted($id);
              }
     }else{
              $this->sugarbean->mark_deleted($id);
     } 
  

If you have another advice please tell me... anyway thanks a lot... right now the issue is solved....

Cheers.
