PHP: Simple method to retrieve POSTed data

All the posted data can be retrieved by a single line code; using the file_get_contents() method.

$poestedData = file_get_contents('php://input');

However; this will not work with the encryption,’multipart/form-data’.

Singleton Pattern

Singleton pattern make use of unique resource for the entire application; the very simple example for model is a database connection. Here database connection occurs only once; never get duplicated.

class DB {

private static $_singleton;

private $_connection;

private function __construct()

{

$this->_connection = mysql_connect();

}

public static function getInstance()

{

if (is_null (self::$_singleton)) {

self::$_singleton = new DB();

}

return self::$_singleton;

}

$db = DB::getInstance();

Affect of reference variables

Consider the array: $a and the below script:

$a = array (’A’,’B’,’C’);
foreach ($a as &$v) {
}
foreach ($a as $v) {
}
print_r ($a);

After the first loop, values of the array will remain intact; but it is looping through the reference variable &$v; but this is still storing address of the last element of the array after complete execution of the first loop. In the next loop we are using the variable $v as value, hence whatever assigned to it will be copied to the last element of the array. So the output will be:

Array
(
[0] => A
[1] => B
[2] => B
)

Creating custom view for SugarCRM modules

Create view file inside modulename/views folder: view.custom.php

require_once(‘include/MVC/View/SugarView.php’);

class Viewcustom extends SugarView {

public function __construct() {

parent::SugarView();

}

public function preDisplay() {

$this->dv->tpl = ‘modules/modulename/tpl/custom.tpl’;

}

public function display() {

global $db;

global $sugar_custom;

$cUser = $GLOBALS[‘current_user’];

if(!$cUser->is_admin) {

echo ‘You do not have permission to view this page.’;

return;

}

// $this->ss->assign(‘myname’, ‘Tester Tester’);

$smarty = new Sugar_Smarty();

parent::display();

$smarty->display($this->dv->tpl);

}

Create a Smarty based tpl file inside tpl folder: custom.tpl

3.Inside Controller.php for that module, write function for handling custom action public function action_custom()

{

$this->view = ‘custom’;

}//End: function action_custom()

4. This view can be accessed by: index.php?module=modulename&action=custom

SugarCRM: Custom Module creation without using admin panel

SugarCRM: Create Custom module without using Admin Studio, use following steps:

1. Copy any of the working module folder and rename it our new module name ‘custmod’

Renam class file names and class names accordingly

custmod/Controller.php

custmod/vardef.php

custmod/custmod.php

Remove unwanted fields from vardefs.php

Place this folder inside ‘modules’ folder

2. Create database table for customod; add fields if there is any extra field added to vardefs.php

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `custmod` (

`assigned_user_id` char(36) DEFAULT NULL,

`team_id` char(36) DEFAULT NULL,

`team_set_id` char(36) DEFAULT NULL,

`id` char(36) NOT NULL,

`date_entered` datetime DEFAULT NULL,

`date_modified` datetime DEFAULT NULL,

`modified_user_id` char(36) DEFAULT NULL,

`created_by` char(36) DEFAULT NULL,

`name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,

`description` text,

`deleted` tinyint(1) DEFAULT ‘0’,

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

3. Add ‘custmod’ in to modules list:

custom/application/Ext/Include/modules.ext.php

$beanList[‘custmod’] = ‘custmod’;

$beanFiles[‘custmod’] = ‘modules/custmod/custmod.php’;

$moduleList[] = ‘custmod’;

4. Insert entries in to ACL actions table (ids are primary key; they must be unique)

INSERT INTO `acl_actions` (`id`, `date_entered`, `date_modified`, `modified_user_id`, `created_by`, `name`, `category`, `acltype`, `aclaccess`, `deleted`) VALUES

(‘2368e6f0-d560-c9b6-8a2f-4f154g467t83’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘access’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 89, 0),

(‘24cc531b-bf0f-1d48-6faf-4f16ga5b8fea’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘delete’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0),

(‘2476ee4e-817a-3ef3-d015-4f1g4aeft467’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘edit’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0),

(‘2584e97f-75d6-3d21-08ed-4fyg4a1a0127’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘export’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0),

(‘2532a115-c9cd-c641-d2a7-4f65ga0c50e8’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘import’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0),

(‘2418ce73-d87b-bb50-3a93-4fdg4a0efa55’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘list’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0),

(‘25cc26b9-8285-cdff-3215-4f1g4a62d499’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘massupdate’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0),

(‘23c1c4d3-d1fe-abd7-2cb4-4f1ghabc6960’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘2012-02-17 10:18:04’, ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘view’, ‘custmod’, ‘module’, 90, 0);

5. Add in to bean list:custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/packagename.php (use any of the existing packages there)

$beanList[‘custmod’] = ‘custmod’;

$beanFiles[‘custmod’] = ‘modules/custmod/custmod.php’;

$moduleList[] = ‘custmod’;

6. Add name in to langugage file:

/custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/en_us.packagename.php

$app_list_strings[‘moduleList’][‘custmod’] = ‘Custom Module Name’;

7. ‘Repair and Rebuild’ rebuild from Admin Panel

8.Add custmod in to main menu from Admin panel ‘Display Module Tabs and Subpanels’

also this module can be accessed as:
