Generate letter functionality in custom created module

arpit · 19 February 2015 06:25

I have followed the recommended step earlier posted in our community
I have done the below steps:

Add your Custom Module in the Type dropdown of PDF Template. This will help you select your custom module for creating a sample. You do this by editing the “'pdf_template_type_dom” through the dropdown editor from the admin panel. The “item name” must be the name of the module directory.
Add the default “Generate Letter” link in the actions dropdown in the detail view page of the custom module. To do this, you have to first edit the /custom/modules/Custom_Module/metadata/detailviewdefs.php file of the custom module and include

‘AOS_GENLET’ =>
array (
‘customCode’ => ‘’,
),

in the buttons array.

Next on, add the generate letter functionality. To do this, edit the view.detail.php file in custom/module//Custom_Module/views directory. If there is no such file or directory create it.Now add the following piece of code in the display() method,

require_once(‘modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/formLetter.php’);
formLetter::DVPopupHtml(‘Custom_Module’);

Now, generate letter option seems visible but when i click on that noting is happen .
might be it is unable to call any function

please help…

Hi Arpit,

Thing is the that you need to create a template for ut letter First in AOS_PDF_TEMPLATES. Like what i did for generating PDF template.

I create one pdf template for my custom module and named by module name (Not mandatory that you have to give name as module name).
Make changes in Detailviewdefs.php file.

 '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}">', //this label u need to define in language file 
          ),
        ),

Last step and Mandatory step,

changes in view.detail.php

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

class p_ProposalViewDetail extends ViewDetail { 


     function p_ProposalViewDetail(){ 
         parent::ViewDetail(); 
     } 

     function display(){ 
           $this->populateQuoteTemplates();                [i]//This two function u need to write here[/i]
           $this->displayPopupHtml();

           unset($this->dv->defs['templateMeta']['form']['buttons'][1]);
        // put all your condition over here ..
           if($this->bean->approval_status=='Approved'){
                unset($this->dv->defs['templateMeta']['form']['buttons'][0]);    // for hide the edit button
                unset($this->dv->defs['templateMeta']['form']['buttons'][2]);    //for hide delete button 
           } 
           $this->dv->process();  
           echo $this->dv->display(); 
      }  
      
     function populateQuoteTemplates(){
        global $app_list_strings, $current_user;
       
       //what u created the template call it here just changed the type ='?'//
        $sql = "SELECT id, name FROM aos_pdf_templates WHERE deleted=0 AND type='p_Proposal' 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'];
                }
        }
    }
  
  function displayPopupHtml(){    
    global $app_list_strings,$app_strings, $mod_strings;
        $templates = array_keys($app_list_strings['template_ddown_c_list']);
    if($templates){

    echo '  <div id="popupDiv_ara" style="display:none;position:fixed;top: 39%; left: 41%;opacity:1;z-index:9999;background:#FFFFFF;">

      foreach($templates as $template){
                if(!$template){

jaydeep · 19 February 2015 10:41

in view.detail.php file what i have mentioned. u did fully coz there only showpopup fuction defined… if u look into this…

if you did this. then give permission and do quick repair and rebulid . it should work. coz its the only way to do this…

try this, if then also not working then u have to debug…

Ian · 19 February 2015 10:45

The first screen shot which was posted shows the view.detail.php file but doesnt have the same code a jaydeep has posted,

The error suggests that there is a issue with the view.detail.php code maybe the syntax is incorrect ?

There is something not right with the view.detail.php file.
