Custom Logic Hook for Accounts not fired

👨‍💻 Development Help

Hello everybody,

I’m a little bit confused about the documentation for the custom logic hooks.

I created a custom logic hook for the module “Accounts”. The logic hook should set a customer number for every new account.
At the table accounts_cstm I’ll have a field that called “customerno_c”.

Then I created the file “CustomerNo.php” at the directory “custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/LogicHooks”.
Content of the file “CustomerNo.php”:


<?php

$hook_version = 1;
$hook_array = Array();
$hook_array['after_save'] = Array();
$hook_array['after_save'][] = Array(1, 'setStoredAccountsNumber', 'custom/modules/Accounts/SetAccountsNumber.php', 'SetAccountsNumber', 'setStoredAccountsNumber');

At the directory “custom/modules/Accounts/” I didn’t changed the file “logic_hooks.php”.
But I created the file “SetAccountsNumber.php”. The content is the following:


<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not a valid entry point');

class SetAccountsNumber
{
	function SetStoredAccountsNumber(&$bean, $event, $arguments)
	{
		if(isset($GLOBALS['log'])){
			$GLOBALS['log']->fatal('Creating new instance of hook class '.$hook_class.' with parameters');
		}

		$module=$bean->parent_type;
		$record_id=$bean->parent_id;
		$bean1 = BeanFactory::getBean($module, $record_id);
		$tblname = $bean1->table_name;
		$tblname_cstm = $tblname."_cstm";
		$bean->db->query("UPDATE ".$tblname_cstm." SET customerno_c='XYZABC' WHERE id_c='".$bean1->id."'");
	}
}

At the end I run “Quick Repair and Rebuild”.

But if I create a new account or update one, nothing happend with the field "customerno_c in database. Also there is no logentry in logfile from suitecrm.

What did I wrong?

Thats because you have named your function wrong. You have SetStoredAccountsNumber as the function name but in the hook definition you have setStoredAccountsNumber startting with a small s instead of a capital! :wink:
