trouble adding JS libraries

👨‍💻 Development Help
1

Hi and thank you for read it,

I’m recently start to work qith SuiteCRM, and I’ve got some troubles when I add JS files to a module,

I did in 3 different ways without success

1st: trought a logic_hook but nothing happened
2nd: trought the view.edit.php and I got the same trouble
3rd:trought editviewdefs.php file, and the js works after a quick repair, but any movement in studio or after some time, the JS begins to fail, I can repair cleaning cache and cookies from my browser, but I cant do it every time it fails.

so the question now is if you know how to prevent that error?
or do you know another way to add a js file in an specific module?

Thanks for your support

Hi, thank for your reply,

that’s what I did to add the JS satisfactory but any movement in studio or after some time, the JS begins to fail and Suite did not recognize JS scripts, I checked the editviewdefs and it is overwrited.

here is an example of code.

Thanks for the support


<?php
$viewdefs ['Accounts'] =

  'EditView' => 
  array (
    'templateMeta' =>

The important part is where you are placing that code? Which filename, in which directory?

If your file is getting overwritten, it’s in the wrong place.

the URL is the same directory I use to place the code on sugarcrm:

custom/modules/accounts/metadata/editviewdefs.php

I don’t know if the references should be in the same folder, actually the other files i’m refeering are out

Studio overwrites files in custom, normally under directories called “Ext”, but I don’t think it overwrites that particular path you gave.

So I don’t know what’s happening.

But I can suggest a way for you to find out with more information about what’s going on:
