Custom Detail View Button

[bgndy]

I’ve seen various posts on how to do various types of custom buttons (most of which apply to Sugar and are difficult to implement in Suite), but I haven’t yet found anything that will work for what I’m trying to do. I want to add a button to a custom module’s detail view called “Get PDF” that simply returns the value in the record’s moduleTitle div – i.e., it spits out the value at the top-left of the current page. For now, it can show up in a popup window or something, but returning the value is the important part.

(Ultimately, we’re hoping to use this value to run a script that will build a PDF from the related records. But baby steps.)

So far I’ve added this code to the detail view’s buttons array. The button appears, but nothing that I’ve put in the “onClick” part has produced a result.

'customCode' => '<input type="button" class="button" onClick="NEED SOMETHING HERE" value="Get PDF">',

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi,

I am able ot retrieve the text inside the ‘moduleTitle’ div with the following:
‘customCode’ => ‘’,

However further customization, such as building a PDF, will require far more in-depth customizations.

If you wish to try, you could take a look at the view.detail.php files in the following locations for some ideas as to where to start:
/modules/AOS_Contracts/views/view.detail.php
/modules/AOS_Invoices/views/view.detail.php
/modules/AOS_Quotes/views/view.detail.php
