Re: Change module level search to not use wildcards

Francesca S. — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:42:50 -0000

I did department dependent views for Cases. We have Customer Service and Tech Support groups, I added a support_group_c field to the Users module to determine which group people belonged to and used that to dynamically choose the Cases view for each. It's a bit of a high-maintenance solution and working in Studio becomes a bit tricky but it works.
For me, the CS view is the default for those that don't have a support group.

In custom/modules/Cases/views/view.edit.php

class CasesViewEdit extends ViewEdit {
public function preDisplay(){
global $current_user;
// support group dependent views
TemplateHandler::clearCache($this->module,'EditView.tpl');
$metadataFile = 'custom/modules/' . $this->module . '/metadata/editviewdefs_CS.php';
if ($current_user->support_group_c == 'TS'){
$metadataFile = 'custom/modules/' . $this->module . '/metadata/editviewdefs_TS.php';
}
$this->ev = new EditView();
$this->ev->ss =& $this->ss;
$this->ev->setup($this->module, $this->bean, $metadataFile, get_custom_file_if_exists('include/EditView/EditView.tpl'));
}
)

Similarly in custom/modules/Cases/views/view.detail.php

class CustomCasesViewDetail extends ViewDetail
{
public function preDisplay(){
global $current_user;
TemplateHandler::clearCache($this->module,'DetailView.tpl');
$metadataFile = 'custom/modules/' . $this->module . '/metadata/detailviewdefs_CS.php';
if ($current_user->support_group_c == 'TS'){
$metadataFile = 'custom/modules/' . $this->module . '/metadata/detailviewdefs_TS.php';
$this->dv = new DetailView2();
$this->dv->ss =& $this->ss;
$this->dv->setup($this->module, $this->bean, $metadataFile, get_custom_file_if_exists('include/DetailView/DetailView.tpl'));
}

then in custom/modules/Cases/metadata/
I have the different versions of detail and edit views:

detailviewdefs_CS.php
detailviewdefs_TS.php

editviewdefs_CS.php
editviewdefs_TS.php

Now, because I'm lazy and want to use studio for layouts, I copy the view that I want to modify to the standard detailviewdefs.php or editviewdefs.php, change what I need to change, save and deploy, then copy that file back to the _CS or _TS version.
You just need to be careful about copying back and forth of course.

HTH.

Re: How to get Document content through PHP code

Matthew Poer — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:23:38 -0000

It is indeed. You can always find the most recent list in the core file ModuleInstall/ModuleScanner.php, the ModuleScanner::blackList array. There's also a set of blacklisted classes there.

I've just found out that as of 6.7.0 (maybe 6.6.x) there's several additions to the list, including anything with a callback function. That includes lots of array-manipulation methods.

'array_diff_uassoc',
'array_diff_ukey',
'array_filter',
'array_intersect_uassoc',
'array_intersect_ukey',
'array_map',
'array_reduce',
'array_udiff_assoc',
'array_udiff_uassoc',
'array_udiff',
'array_uintersect_assoc',
'array_uintersect_uassoc',
'array_uintersect',
'array_walk_recursive',
'array_walk',
'uasort',
'uksort',
'usort',

I simplified the lookup to get the relationship name from two module names as follows:

Re: HOWTO: Using the bean instead of SQL all the time.

Francesca S. — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:55:07 -0000

I had some trouble programmatically getting the relationship name to use in the $focus->load_relationship('relationship_name_here') until I found function findRelationship($from,$to) in modules/Leads/views/view.convertleads.php that given the two beans in question, returns the appropriate relationship name to use in the load_relationship. If anyone has a more efficient method than looping through all the fields as this function does please do share.

Re: How to get Document content through PHP code

Cédric Mourizard — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:50:41 -0000

Hello @Matthew Poer

The sugar function sugar_file_get_contents is-it too blacklisted for OnDemand?

Also perhaps you can try this:


require_once 'include/upload_file.php';
$uf = new UploadFile();
$uf->temp_file_location = $download_location;
$file_contents = $uf->get_file_contents();

Re: How to get Document content through PHP code

Matthew Poer — Wed, 15 May 2013 09:40:02 -0000

A useful snippet, but file_get_contents is a blacklisted function. If you were to create a Module-Installable package with that, it would be rejected by every OnDemand system and any on premise systems that enable security scanning of packages.

On premise installations could get around this by adding file_get_contents to $GLOBALS['sugar_config']['moduleInstaller']['blackListExempt'] but my understanding is that OnDemand systems do not allow this.

thank you for clearing it up... oh may I also ask if there is a tutorial or guide on how to use bean class, and db manager?..

Re: Entry Points in Sugar 5.1

John Mertic — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:35:33 -0000

False just means you don't need to be authenticated to the instance in order to access the entrypoint. This is useful for entrypoints such as the campaign opt-out scripts.

Re: Entry Points in Sugar 5.1

Francis Derequito — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:26:25 -0000

Hi Dear Documentor,
what's the difference when having it false as it's default instead of true?.. because what I can see in most of the entry_points are false.. no need to recompile it right?.. when you add an entry point it can be used right away right?... help me verify my query .. Thanks..

Hello, I would also appreciate the answer for this question. In my case it is a custom dropdown field in the accounts module: "employees_c". Does this make any difference, is it possible with a custom field?

Thank you, Timi

Re: Creating a SubPanel Filter

Francesca S. — Fri, 10 May 2013 10:23:04 -0000

in the line you quoted you have double quotes inside double quotes which will give a syntax error.

instead of:

$button .= "<form><input id="filter_param_{$subpanel_name}" name="search_params" type="text" value="{$prior_search_params[$subpanel_name]}">";

try:

$button .= "<input id="filter_param_{$subpanel_name}" name="search_params" type="text" value="{$prior_search_params[$subpanel_name]}">";

$button .= "<input id="\"filter_param_{$subpanel_name}\"" name="\"search_params\"" type="\"text\"" value="\"{$prior_search_params[$subpanel_name]}\"">";</form>

Re: Creating a SubPanel Filter

Marty Peet — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:27:46 -0000

Hi Francesca, can't seem to get this to work on Corp 6.5.4. I'm assuming it's the SugarWidgetTopFilterInputButton.php file that is incorrect, or it don't like my version...

The form appears on the sub-panel, custom module in Companies I've tried the original one posted above, no joy It reloads the entire page and no filter is applied. I have tried downloading the code from GitHub and using your adjusted code AND the code added by guest. Those two files give me a pop up window with an unexpected T_STRING error on line X, the second $button .= line

$button .= "<form><input id="filter_param_{$subpanel_name}" name="search_params" type="text" value="{$prior_search_params[$subpanel_name]}">";

Is there a missing instruction? add the entrypoint to include/MVC/Controller/entry_point_registry.php

Any thoughts gratefully accepted..

UPDATE
I edited the final lines and it is now working, changed to the following

$button = '';
$button .= "<input id="filter_param_{$subpanel_name}" name="search_params" type="text" value="{$prior_search_params[$subpanel_name]}">";
$button .= "<input href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="\"{$onclick}\"" style="margin:0 2px 0 2px;" type="submit" value="Filter">";
$button .= "<input +="" ;{$onclick}\"="" current_child_field).value="" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="\"document.getElementById('filter_param_'" type="submit" value="Clear Filter">";
$button .= "";

return $button;
}
}

Brilliant bit of work Francesca!!! and greatly appreciated code. Get a bit annoyed at times with the number of 'ad's' on/in these Blogs.

Perhaps we could get the posters name added to the listing of each item so that we can choose which ones we want to view? </form>

Re: New in Sugar 6.5 – iCal support for Calendar

Ben Hamilton — Thu, 09 May 2013 02:23:21 -0000

This is quite useful, thanks. The two common questions I get re this are on how to add this to their Google Calendar and to their iPhone. So I thought I'd add those steps below:

To view your SugarCRM Calendar in Google Apps Calendar, do the following:

1. In SugarCRM Select your username from the top navigation bar
2. Select Profile
3. Select Advanced
4. Copy the iCal integration URL
5. Open Google Calendar
6. In the left navigation bar, hit the drop down next to Other Calendars
7. Select Add by URL
8. Refresh your calendar view, you’ll see your SugarCRM Calendar now in your Google Apps Calendar.

To add your SugarCRM Calendar to your iPhone or iPad
1. On the iPhone,
2. Go to Settings
3. Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars
4. Select Add Account…
5. Select Other
6. Select Add Subscribed Calendar
7. Paste in the same URL as previously and click Next
8. Click Save

just in case anyone else has problems loading relationships with the above code in custom modules:

the line
$focus->load_relationship('contacts');
didn't work for me.

however, since the name of the relationship was something like "myproject_contacts" this one worked:
$focus->load_relationship('myproject_contacts');
