[Vtigercrm-developers] Request for 6.2 (Popup filtering)

[Alan Lord]

We are frequently asked to do this and it would be better if we could 
achieve it without core hacks.

For 1:n (get_dependents_list) relationships when selecting related 
records to add to a module, it is fairly easy. I have already suggested 
two very minor code additions to Popup.tpl[1] that would enable us to 
set the search_key and search_value in the request which would then 
automatically set the picklist and search box, thereby filtering the 
list displayed... (This is especially important now we can reliably have 
multiple UI10s to the same module)

For a n:n (get_related_list) however it's a bit more complicated. I 
would like there to be some modification to the core Popup.php view and 
RelationListView model so we could pass a module name and a crmid to 
allow filtering of the list displayed in the popup. (Could probably use 
the exiting related_parent_module & related_parent_id params).

For custom modules obviously we can override these classes if we need 
to, but if we create a n:n to a standard vtiger module and want to limit 
the result displayed in the Popup it gets rather tricky to say the least...

Thoughts? Comments?

Cheers

Al
