SugarCRM 7 — Adding an action to the listview headerpanel
Posted on Sat 25 July 2015 in Tech
This tutorial should show you how to add a custom button/action that will appear across all modules. It's a little similar to this tutorial with a few changes to how the button gets rendered and the actions get called.
1. Adding the button to the headerpanel
Firstly you'll need to create a new folder to store the headerpane actions, so create this folder in the sugarcrm root directory custom/clients/base/views/list-headerpane/. Then create the file list-headerpane.php with this content. This will add a button next to the Create button for all modules.
<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

$viewdefs['base']['view']['list-headerpane'] = array(
'template' => 'headerpane',
'title' => 'LBL_MODULE_NAME',
'buttons' => array(
array(
'name' => 'new_button',
'type' => 'button',
'label' => 'LBL_NEW_BUTTON_LABEL',
'css_class' => 'btn-secondary',
'acl_action' => 'list',
'events' => array(
'click' => 'list:new_button:fire'
),
),
array(
'name' => 'create_button',
'type' => 'button',
'label' => 'LBL_CREATE_BUTTON_LABEL',
'css_class' => 'btn-primary',
'acl_action' => 'create',
'route' => array(
'action'=>'create'
)
),
array(
'name' => 'sidebar_toggle',
'type' => 'sidebartoggle',
),
),
);
2. Adding the action hook
To fire this action you'll need to add some code custom/clients/base/views/recordlist/recordlist.js, in the
this.context.on('list:new_button:fire', this.applyFxn, this);
Now populate applyFxn with whatever code you want to run and it will work across every module.
3. Quick Repair and Rebuilt(as always)
Any questions feel free to ask!
Extra tip.
Only want to do this for a single module. Instead of placing the code in
custom/clients place it in custom/modules/
