Add Create Task Radio Button in Calendar Module

Hi,
When I want to add any activity(like Task,Meeting or Call) in calendar module,When I click on any time period then quick create popup is displays and it is showing two radio button ā€œSchedule Meetingā€ and ā€œLog Callā€ but it is not showing ā€œCreate Taskā€ Which I want.

Is there any option in admin panel or config that allow us to enable crate task?

I’ve added some lines of code in /modules/Calendar/tpls/form.tpl after line number 62.

{literal} <input type="radio" id="radio_task" value="Tasks" onclick="CAL.change_activity_type(this.value);" checked="true" name="appttype" tabindex="100"/> {/literal} <label for="radio_task">{$MOD.LBL_CREATE_TASK}</label>

After adding this line I’m able to see create task option but when I’m saving task it is giving error ā€œError in savingā€ and in suitecrm.log file it is ā€œFile TaskFormBase.php doesn’t existā€.

I am using suiteCRM 7.2.1.

I have attached two screenshots for reference.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need to create the TaskFormBase.php file in /modules/Tasks directory.

Here is my TaskFormBase, this work for me.

Thanks @robai for your reply.

Still I have same ā€œerror while savingā€

Did you managed to resolve this issue?

I too have error while saving…any help appreciated

HI @prafull. I added the code given by you.Working fine for schedule meeting (i.e saving as meetings) not for tasks.I am using suite 7.7
Any help :frowning:

Hi,

I know it’s a very old forum. But i am trying to implement the same thing and getting same error ā€˜Error While Saving’.

Did anyone find any solution for this ? I will appreciate any help from anyone.

I checked all over the google but found this post only. If anyone can guide me to right direction.

Thanks

I have slightly different issue in the same situation: can’t see ā€œcreate taskā€ option. I tried to google it too but there’s no solution at all.
