👨‍💻 Development Help

I have created a custom module i want to write my own function when saving the module i need some api calls to done before saving.Where can i write own function for saving a module?

Google for after_save logic hooks.

There’s a nice eBook teaching all that, “SuiteCRM for Developers” by Jim Mackin.

I have seen the hooks logic but it was’nt clear of its usage.I want to write some lines of code just before of saving record.If you can refer a link that would be very helpful.

it’s better if you explain what you tried, and what is your question, and what results you’re getting…

But here’s a link

http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_6.5/Module_Framework/Logic_Hooks/Module_Hooks/after_save/

SugarCRM 6.5 is very similar to SuiteCRM (regarding logic hooks).
