Dear all,
After I've learnt how to use you framework, build up simple modules is very very simple.
However I'm facing another problem: I'm trying to develop a module to manage Items Lent to customers and I would like to specify a "limit date" in order to be notified when lending ends with an alert. I have also a employees field in order to select who will be notified.
This is my code about that

Custom_LendItemInstall.php



	public function install() {

		Utils_CommonDataCommon::new_array('custom/lenditem/status', array( '0'=>_M('Items Lent'), '1'=>_M('Returned Partially'), '2'=>_M('Returned Completely'), '3'=>_M('Items Sold') ), true, true); //This created the Common Data for the Status Field

		Utils_CommonDataCommon::new_array('custom/lenditem/priority', array( '0'=>_M('Low'), '1'=>_M('Medium'), '2'=>_M('High')), true, true); //This created the Common Data for the Priority Field

		

		

		Base_ThemeCommon::install_default_theme('Custom/LendItem');

				

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::install_new_recordset('custom_lenditem', array(

				array(	

						'name' => _M('Title'),

						'type'=>'text', 

						'required'=>true, 

						'param'=>'255', 

						'extra'=>false, 

						'visible'=>true, 

						'display_callback'=>array('Custom_LendItemCommon','display_title')

				 ),

				array(	

						'name' => _M('Customer'),				//Name of the Field

						'type' => 'crm_company_contact', //Type of Field

						'visible' => true,			//shows on the Table View

						'filter' => false,			//Can you Filter it?

						'param'=>array('field_type'=>'select'),

						'required' => true

				 ),

				 array(	

						'name' => _M('Items'),				//Name of the Field

						'type' => 'long text',			//Type of Field

						'visible' => false,			//shows on the Table View

						'filter' => false,			//Can you Filter it?

				 ),

						'type' => 'commondata',			//Type of Field

						'filter' => false,			//Can you Filter it?

						'param' => array('order_by_key'=>true, 'custom/lenditem/status'),

						'required' => true

				 ),

				 array(	

						'name' => _M('Priority'),				//Name of the Field

						'type' => 'commondata',			//Type of Field

						'visible' => true,			//shows on the Table View

						'filter' => false,			//Can you Filter it?

						'param' => array('order_by_key'=>true, 'custom/lenditem/priority')

				 ),

				 array(	

						'name' => _M('Limit Date'),				//Name of the Field

						'type' => 'date',			//Type of Field

						'visible' => true,			//shows on the Table View

						'filter' => true,			//Can you Filter it?

						'required' => true

				 ),

				 array(

						'name' => _M('Employees'),

						'type'=>'crm_contact',

						'param'=>array(

										'field_type'=>'multiselect',

										'crits'=>array('Custom_LendItemCommon','employees_crits'), 

										'format'=>array('CRM_ContactsCommon','contact_format_no_company')

									), 

						'display_callback'=>array('Custom_LendItemCommon','display_employees'), 

						'required'=>true, 

						'extra'=>false, 

						'visible'=>true, 

						'filter'=>true

				 )

			

			)

		);

		

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::set_caption('custom_lenditem', _M('Lend Item'));  //Creates the Name of the module for users to see

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::set_icon('custom_lenditem', Base_ThemeCommon::get_template_filename('Custom/LendItem', 'icon.png'));

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::register_processing_callback('custom_lenditem', 'Custom_LendItemCommon::process_request'); // method called on insert to generate alert

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::enable_watchdog('custom_lenditem', array('Custom_LendItemCommon','watchdog_label')); //Watchdog for those Managers to track changes

		

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::add_access('custom_lenditem', 'view',   'ACCESS:employee', array('(!permission'=>2, '|employees'=>'USER'));

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::add_access('custom_lenditem', 'add',    'ACCESS:employee');

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::add_access('custom_lenditem', 'edit',   'ACCESS:employee', array('(permission'=>0, '|employees'=>'USER', '|customers'=>'USER'));

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::add_access('custom_lenditem', 'delete', 'ACCESS:employee', array(':Created_by'=>'USER_ID'));

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::add_access('custom_lenditem', 'delete',  array('ACCESS:employee','ACCESS:manager'));

		

		return true; //False on failure

		

	}

Custom_LendItemCommon



// display module on menu

	public static function menu() {

	

		return array(__('CRM')=>array('__submenu__'=>1,__('Lend Item')=>array()));

	}

	// function called after insert new element in order to add autogenerated rma_id based on year of request and id

    public static function process_request($data, $mode) {

        switch($mode) {

            case 'adding':

                $data['active']=true;

                break;

            case 'added':

					if(isset($c['login']))

						$eee[] = $c['login'];

				}

				Utils_MessengerCommon::add('Custom_LendItem_Event:'.$data['id'],'Custom_LendItem', $message, $start, array('Custom_LendItemCommon','get_alarm'),array($data['id']),$eee);

				break;

            default:

                break;

        }

        return $data;

    }

	

	public static function display_title($record, $nolink=false) {

		$ret = Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::create_linked_label_r('custom_lenditem', 'Title', $record, $nolink);

		if (isset($record['items']) && $record['items']!='') $ret = '<span '.Utils_TooltipCommon::open_tag_attrs(Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::format_long_text($record['items']), false).'>'.$ret.'</span>';

		return $ret;

	}

	

	// label watchdog 

	public static function watchdog_label($rid = null, $events = array(), $details = true) {

		return Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::watchdog_label(

				'custom_lenditem',

				_M('Lend Item'),

				$rid,

				$events,

				array('Custom_LendItemCommon','watchdog_label_format'),

				$details

			);

	}

	public static function watchdog_label_format($r) {

		return $r['title'];

	}

	

	public static function get_alarm($id) {

		$a = self::get_lend($id);

		if (!$a) return __('Private record');

		$date = __('Timeless event: %s',array(Base_RegionalSettingsCommon::time2reg($a['date'],false)));

		

		return $date."\n".__('Title: %s',array($a['title']));

	}

	

	public static function get_lend($id) {

		return Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::get_record('custom_lenditem', $id);

	}

	

	public static function employees_crits(){

		return array('(company_name'=>CRM_ContactsCommon::get_main_company(),'|related_companies'=>array(CRM_ContactsCommon::get_main_company()));

	}

	

	public static function display_employees($record, $nolink, $desc) {

		return CRM_ContactsCommon::display_contacts_with_notification('custom_lenditem', $record, $nolink, $desc);

	}

The method process_request is called after each actin on item and should add an alert.
However this not happends.
Any suggestion?

Thank you
