Is there logic hook for DetailsView?

It’s not a logic hook, but you can customize the detail view, of course.

The simplest things you can achieve with just a Smarty formula in the vardefs.

For more complicated things… here is an example from a project of mine. It’s meant to show a Contact’s calculated age in place of his birthdate.

In file custom/modules/Contacts/views/view.detail.php



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

class CustomContactsViewDetail extends ViewDetail
{
        /**
         * @see SugarView::display()
         *
         * We are overridding the display method to manipulate the portal information.
         * If portal is not enabled then don't show the portal fields.
         */
        public function display(){
                global $sugar_config;
                global $mod_strings;

                if(!empty($this->bean->birthdate)) {
                    require_once('include/TimeDate.php');

                   $my_timedate = new TimeDate();
                   $date_of_birth = $this->bean->birthdate;

                   $birthdate = $my_timedate->to_db_date($date_of_birth);
                   $current_age =
                      $this->bean->birthdate
                      . ", "
                      . strtolower($mod_strings['LBL_IDADE'])
                      ." "
                      . floor( (strtotime(date('Y-m-d')) - strtotime($birthdate)) / 31556926);
                   $this->ss->assign("CURRENTAGE", $current_age);
                   // this is then referenced in /custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/detailviewdefs.php
                }

                $aop_portal_enabled = !empty($sugar_config['aop']['enable_portal']) && !empty($sugar_config['aop']['enable_aop']);


                $this->ss->assign("AOP_PORTAL_ENABLED", $aop_portal_enabled);

                require_once('modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/formLetter.php');
                formLetter::DVPopupHtml('Contacts');

                $admin = new Administration();
                $admin->retrieveSettings();
                if(isset($admin->settings['portal_on']) && $admin->settings['portal_on']) {
                        $this->ss->assign("PORTAL_ENABLED", true);
                }
                parent::display();
        }
}

This matches a section of custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/detailviewdefs.php


            1 =>
            array (
              'name' => 'birthdate',
              'comment' => 'The birthdate of the contact',
              'label' => 'LBL_BIRTHDATE',
              'customCode' => '{$CURRENTAGE}',
            ),

I hope this is enough to get you going…
