Add Custom JS to a List View

šŸ’¬ General Discussion

Hi Allā€¦

Iā€™m trying to simply ā€œhideā€ an element on the list view page in the list of results.
(Itā€™s an SMS icon that a plugin adds to all phone numbersā€¦and Iā€™m now hiding on non-mobile phone numbers)

I have this working fine with jQuery on the Detail view pages, by using the ā€œincludesā€ array in the detailviewdefs.php file to point to my JS fileā€¦but Iā€™m not seeing this ā€˜includesā€™ array in the LISTviewdefs.php file.

Is there some way to extend this file like you can with detailviewdefs???

Thanks all!!

You can use custom/modules/[YourModule]/views/view.list.php for adding JS to list view. Use preDisplay or display function to echo out the Script.

Hey! Thanks for the feedbackā€¦but, I might be missing somethingā€¦

Iā€™m really trying to modify the layout of some standard module lists (specifically, Leads, Accounts, Contacts).

Iā€™m not seeing a ā€˜viewsā€™ folder in the directories for Lead, Accounts, Contactsā€¦nor in the custom module folders for the new ā€˜moduleā€™ for SMS messages.
(/custom/modules/Leads ā€¦ no ā€˜viewsā€™ folder)

I DO see a ā€˜viewsā€™ folder in the
/modules/Leads/views
folderā€¦but seems like making changes there wouldnā€™t be update-proof???

Is there perhaps some way that these folders/files are generated by the system??

Thoughts??

You can manually create folders in CUSTOM folder and use Repair from the Administration Page.

The above is correct. Here is a more complete write-up on this subject:

Ahhhā€¦I understand!
Thanks!
Iā€™ve got that file loading nowā€¦itā€™s breaking the list pageā€¦but Iā€™m sure Iā€™ve just got some syntax wrongā€¦
But I understand how to get that file to extend the listview now!
Thanks!

Cool! Thanks!
I understand the concept nowā€¦now need to get my code working.
Thanks!

Guys! This was SUPER helpful!
I have all the lists modified!

BTW: Is there a way to extend the Dashboard similarly???

Never Mindā€¦I answered my own question.
It IS, in fact, possible to extend the Dashboard by adding custom php to
custom/modules/Home/views/view.list.php

Thanks all!!!

Hi
Can this be done in Suitecrm 8.x?

It depends on the specific customizations youā€™re doing.

  • Some of them will just work in v8

  • Some wonā€™t and will require completely different ways to implement

  • Some will still work in v8 but only if you switch your module to legacy mode
