Override List View Data

[benedict90]

Hi all,

Have you tried to load list view data from external data source like web service?
SuiteCRM has product module that save and load product data from database.
But, we already have product information system and we want to display those data to suiteCRM product module (maybe via web service).

I have tried to override product module to custom folder. But, the get_list() and process_list_query() methods could not be overridden.
Do you have any suggestions to this issue?

Just some ideas with different approaches:

• integrate at the database-level, so that the UI just works naturally
  or
• override the Display function to do everything, just discard whatever data it’s getting from the database and use your own
  or
• Instead of working from the products view, do a special page to show the products directly from your other system, with this kind of technique:
