Module similar to Addresses

jerry

I'm trying to write a simple module that allows multiple addresses to be created for a Company. The feature is very similar to the multi-addresses module with a few small changes. I wasn't able to get the multi-addresses module to work due to a constant "invalid value" on the Nickname. Regardless, I figured this exercise would be a good training effort for building a new module. However, I've tried multiple variations and keep getting a "missing word" error when trying to add the new address to the company record.

My question relates to the "get" function in the MultipleAddressesCommon_0.php file. I can't find any information in the documentation on how the add option on the Company screen knows what function to call from the module. I also looked at the sales opportunity module and it is quite different compared to the multiple addresses module but, again, a mystery in terms of what functions are called when navigating around the CRM. In other words, where does the "get" function get called in the CRM and why doesn't the sales opportunity module have a "get" function?

Am I going down the wrong path or are these related to my "missing word" error?

Hi,

Thanks for notice that you can't add records. It's permission issue and I've fixed this and published new version in the store.
If you didn't change any permissions for "Address" recordset in RecordBrowser admin panel, then it should fix your problem to add new address.

"get" function is just a method accessible for other modules to obtain addresses list for certain record.
If you wonder how it's done, that you have another tab under contact/company record called "Addresses", then you should know what addon is, and how it's used.

In install file we defined a new addon for contact/company:



		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::new_addon('contact', 'Premium/MultipleAddresses', 'body', _M('Addresses'));

		Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::new_addon('company', 'Premium/MultipleAddresses', 'body', _M('Addresses'));

where "body" method of MultipleAddresses_0.php is called to show list of addresses.

Regards,
Adam
