Hi,
I have been trying to add a Custom Field Type in SuiteCRM 8, Below are the steps I have followed:
1- I have created a Custom Field Type Name as "Color Picker " in the legacy framework
2- On the Angular side I have added a new field component “Color Picker” in the default extension
3- After that, I registered it in the extensions.module.ts with the field
but no change is taking place as a new field on the front end side, Also I have tried to extend the varchar field in the extension for the front end changes but no luck.
Can someone please help me in this regard?
@clemente.raposo any thoughts?
Hey Muhammad/Clemente,
I’m still trying to figure out how to add a custom field type to SuiteCRM 8. I’ve followed the steps of creating a new field component and registering it in the Angular extension, but it’s not showing up on the front end.
Have you had any luck with this or any new idea about what I might be missing?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Hi @muhammad.bilal and @cvillaronga
I’m having troubles triying to port SuiteCRM 7.x custom field types I developed in the past to SuiteCRM 8.x. I’m trying to find documentation and I cannot see anything specific to this topic, other than old blog example. I see that in step 2 you have to create a new component and register it, I have found some documentation on this but I think that an actualization for this post to SuiteCRM 8.x could be better.
My questions are:
- Where did you find the tips that pointed you to this (that you have to create an Angular extension and register it).
- Can you explain what did you did?
- Finally, have you solved it?
Could you please share this info?. I am a developer, and I cuold try to help you if you didn’t solved it. I need to be able to port my custom types in order to update our SuiteCRM 7.x instances, but this problem is blocking us to upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards.
