[Vtigercrm-developers] Custom views with form fields

[Richard Hills]

I have now been able to get the reference fields and date selectors both 
working by creating my modules own resources/Edit.js and adding the 
following code to the registerEvents function:

>                 var items = jQuery('.recordEditView').length;
>                 for (index = 0; index < items; ++index) {
> this.registerBasicEvents(jQuery('#EditView'+(index+2)));
>                 }

No doubt this will not help me with additional things such as the 
validation and I am not actually submitting the forms as yet so I expect 
more information to come.

Ideally we need to look at how the entirety of this script is written, 
there is no reason why this can not work with a class based system 
instead of an id one and going forward this is a must have in my 
opinion. I am not at this point comfortable with attempting the entire 
rewrite before hearing back from the vtiger team, it is likely this 
would be a simple job for whoever wrote the script in the first place 
and knows how it all slots together.
