Add pdf print option

👨‍💻 Development Help

Hi everyone,

I would like to insert the Print Pdf option in the Events module but the changes applied in the detailviewdefs.php and view.detail.php files of the custom folder did not work.

I followed the guidelines found on suitecrm. com

Have any of you encountered the same problem as me?

Could I be a pain and ask if possible you link to a non direct download link? Thanks :+1::+1:

Could you also let us know what is wrong? How doesn’t it work? Did you run a repair and rebuild?

Hi,
I followed the guide shown here:

Unfortunately the button does not appear in the drop-down menu of the module. I also performed the repair

Thanks for your support

  1. Agregar el nombre del mĂłdulo a la lista desplegable pdf_template_type_dom que se encuentra en Dropdown Editor.
  • Pasa saber el nombre exacto del modulo se puede remitir a la ruta: /var/www/html/custom/modules/Your_module_name
  1. Modificamos el archivo detailviewdefs.php el cual se encuentra en: /var/www/html/custom/modules/Your_module_name/metadata a ese archivo debemos agregar la lĂ­nea 4 => :
'form' => 
      array (
        'buttons' => 
        array (
          0 => 'EDIT',
          1 => 'DUPLICATE',
          2 => 'DELETE',
          3 => 'FIND_DUPLICATES',
          4 => 
          array (
            'customCode' => '<input type="button" class="button" onClick="showPopup(\'pdf\');"
	  value="{$MOD.LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF}">',
          ),
        ),
      ),

Nota: si no tiene las opciones:

          0 => 'EDIT',
          1 => 'DUPLICATE',
          2 => 'DELETE',
          3 => 'FIND_DUPLICATES',

Solo agregue la lĂ­nea 4 =>

4 => 
          array (
            'customCode' => '<input type="button" class="button" onClick="showPopup(\'pdf\');"
	  value="{$MOD.LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF}">',
          ),
  1. Debemos modificar el archivo con el lenguaje que están usando, si usan ingles y español, agregar la línea en ambas partes, para ello se van a la ruta:

/var/www/html/custom/modules/Your_module_name/language

  • Modifican el archivo en_us.lang.php
$mod_strings = array ( 'LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF' => 'print PDF',);
  • Si “$mod_strings = array ( ya existe, solo agreguen:
'LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF' => 'print PDF',

Ejemplo:

<?php
// created: 2021-06-03 21:00:36
$mod_strings = array (
  'LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF' => 'Print PDF',
);
  1. Ahora deben crear el archivo view.detail.php en la ruta:

/var/www/html/custom/modules/Your_module_name/views

Les dejo tal cual como lo tengo, donde vean el nombre Your_module_name, es donde deben ingresar el nombre exacto de su modulo:

<?php
if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) {
    die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
}

//require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.detail.php');

class **Your_module_name**ViewDetail extends ViewDetail
{
    public $bean;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function **Your_module_name**ViewDetail()
    {
        $deprecatedMessage = 'PHP4 Style Constructors are deprecated and will be remove in 7.8, please update your code';
        if (isset($GLOBALS['log'])) {
            $GLOBALS['log']->deprecated($deprecatedMessage);
        } else {
            trigger_error($deprecatedMessage, E_USER_DEPRECATED);
        }
        $this->__construct();
    }


    public function display()
    {
        $this->populateQuoteTemplates();
        $this->displayPopupHtml();
        parent::display();
    }

    protected function populateQuoteTemplates()
    {
        global $app_list_strings;

        $sql = "SELECT id, name FROM aos_pdf_templates WHERE deleted=0 AND type='**Your_module_name**' AND active = 1";

        $res = $this->bean->db->query($sql);

        $app_list_strings['template_ddown_c_list'] = array();
        while ($row = $this->bean->db->fetchByAssoc($res)) {
            if ($row['id']) {
                $app_list_strings['template_ddown_c_list'][$row['id']] = $row['name'];
            }
        }
    }

    protected function displayPopupHtml()
    {
        global $app_list_strings, $app_strings, $mod_strings;
        $templatesList = array_keys($app_list_strings['template_ddown_c_list']);
        $template = new Sugar_Smarty();
        $template->assign('APP_LIST_STRINGS', $app_list_strings);
        $template->assign('APP', $app_strings);
        $template->assign('MOD', $mod_strings);
        $template->assign('FOCUS', $this->bean);
        $template->assign('TEMPLATES', $templatesList);

        if ($templatesList) {
            $template->assign('TOTAL_TEMPLATES', count($templatesList));
            foreach ($templatesList as $t => $templatesListItem) {
                $templatesList[$t] = str_replace('^', '', $templatesListItem);
            }
            echo $template->fetch('modules/AOS_Quotes/templates/showPopupWithTemplates.tpl');
        } else {
            echo $template->fetch('modules/AOS_Quotes/templates/showPopupWithOutTemplates.tpl');
        }
    }
}
  1. Cuando terminen solo vayan a Administrator > Repair > Quick Repair and Rebuild y esperan a que terminen.

Deben crear el PDF y asignarle el modulo al que quieren imprimir, para que de esa manera aparezcan los campos, y los puedan llamar en cada secciĂłn.

Espero que les pueda funcionar y me disculpo por lo extenso.

Hi @ChesteRGotH, welcome to the Community! :tada:

Thanks for sharing your solution!

Do you know how to so this for version 8?

If works in version 8. There is a glitch with the path to the PDF templates though. I’ve documented it on Github. With the addition of this fix, it works: https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM-Core/issues/96
