Related lists not working

[ihubsys]

Hi there,

firstly I want the thank you for the fantastic module designer - it really makes it so easy for a non programmer like me to create new modules.

I'm having a issue with making the related lists work in module designer for existing modules. Here is what I have done so far.

1. In project tasks I have added a related field "Project milestones" (I want to related tasks to milestones)
2. In project milestones I have added a related list -"Project Tasks"

Then I go into a project task and Add a related milestone - this part works fine. BUT when I go to project milestones and click the newly added Project tasks tab the list is empty.

A few other observations:

Re: Adding project task from project milestone when I am view the related project task list in Project milestone I can add a project task from the list view - in this case the new project task is automatically related to the project milestone - so this works as it should.

Re: Selecting project tasks If I try and select a project task in the related list view, it is added to the list BUT the Related to project milestone field in project tasks is not updated.

I hope that all makes sense.

any suggestion on how to get that all working?

I have same problem did you get it sorted?

Hi,

I got into something similar. When I use a related field from a custom module in another custom module, the Popup Window doesn't show the list.

I discovered a way to fix it, changing manually the "your-module".php file in the related module (the one you're quering information).

I didn't have the time to make a patch to ModuleDesigner, but maybe later on I could work on that.

In the meantime, I leave you where I found a clue what was happening: http://vtiger-crm.2324883.n4.nabble.com/Relate-two-custom-modules-td4646.html Check the arrays for "Search Fields"

Hope it helps, good luck.

Has anyone received the solution for this?

I am having the same problem when I create an item in the child module, I do not see it in the list of the parent module. However in the parent module I can select the child item no problem.

Hi all,

I look a little on to this and didn't understand the problem.

I'm having a issue with making the related lists work in module designer for existing modules. Here is what I have done so far.

1. In project tasks I have added a related field "Project milestones" (I want to related tasks to milestones)
2. In project milestones I have added a related list -"Project Tasks"

Then I go into a project task and Add a related milestone - this part works fine. BUT when I go to project milestones and click the newly added Project tasks tab the list is empty."

I find nothing wrong with this. I did a related list between Project Tasks and Project Milestones and viceversa without problems.

This post is from 2011, so I doubt this is the same problem as you described. I think in 2011 they were using vTiger 5.1.

Can you be a little more especific?

Thank you all.

You are right, the issue is a little different. It is actually with the ability to select records from a child module. Here is the example I have in place.

I created a module call "PROPERTY" and another called "TELEPHONE NUMBERS"

WORKING When in the PROPERTY module I can go to the related list and select "+ Add Telephone Number" button. This will create a new item in the TELEPHONE NUMBER module and list in the PROPERTY module.

NOT WORKING If i create an item in the TELEPHONE NUMBER module then go to PROPERTY module related lists and click "Select TELEPHONE NUMBER", I see the number I want to associated and select it. The window closes but does not associate to the PROPERTY module.

WORKING I can go to the TELEPHONE NUMBER module and associate the item to PROPERTY module and it will list under the PROPERTY modules' related lists.

Does that make sense?

Here is some more information.

It works when I set the method as get_related_list() in the PROPERTY module "Related Lists" settings but the Add button will not update the child item.

If is set the method as get_dependents_list() the select does not work but the add does.
