Sugar 7 Contact module record view header add middle name

I believe you will need to customize both the fullname feld type:

clients/base/fields/fullname

and the Contacts record view php

                array(
                    'name' => 'full_name',
                    'label' => 'LBL_NAME',
                    'dismiss_label' => true,
                    'type' => 'fullname',
                    'fields' => array('salutation', 'first_name', 'last_name'),
                ),

HiFrancesca Shiekh ,

custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/fields/fullname/fullname.js

/*
* I only wanted to apply this change to the Contacts modules so I put this file in:
* custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/fields/fullname/
*/
({
extendsFrom: 'FullnameField',

formatMap: {
'f': 'first_name',
'l': 'last_name',
's': 'salutation',
'm': 'middle_name_c'
},

initialize: function(options) {
// override the name format for this module
app.user.setPreference('default_locale_name_format', 's f m l');

this._super('initialize', [options]);
},

format: function() {
var fullname = this.model.attributes.salutation +' '+ this.model.attributes.first_name +' ';
fullname += this.model.attributes.middle_name_c +' '+ this.model.attributes.last_name;

return fullname;
},
})

It display with middle name. 

When I will save record, It will store with Database.

Thanks

Hi Bao Tran Hoang,

Can you customize record-edit.hbs.

clients/base/fields/fullname/record-edit.hbs

{{#each fields}}
    <span class="record-cell{{#if span}} span{{span}}{{/if}}" data-name="{{name}}" data-type="{{type}}">
        {{#unless dismiss_label}}
            <div class="record-label" data-name="{{name}}">{{str label ../../../module}}</div>
        {{/unless}}
        <span data-fieldname="{{name}}" style="width:30%">
            {{placeholder}}
        </span>
    </span>
{{/each}}

I have same issue.

I added Middle Name in Listview, the Fullname display is Ok

Hi Bao Tran Hoang,

Please can you explain me, how it's come full name ?

Hi Offshore Evolution

You add middle_name_c in Available column of Listview in studio

Also check your config, I just noticed that there is a 

'default_locale_name_format' => 's f l' //salutation first last

Yes it is working with list view page.

How does it work with record view and edit record view ?

Hi Francesca Shiekh,

I have already set file, custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/fields/fullname/fullname.js

/*
 *  I only wanted to apply this change to the Contacts modules so I put this file in:
 *  custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/fields/fullname/
 */
({
    extendsFrom: 'FullnameField',

    formatMap: {
        'f': 'first_name',
        'l': 'last_name',
        's': 'salutation',
        'm': 'middle_name_c'
    },

    initialize: function(options) {
        // override the name format for this module
        app.user.setPreference('default_locale_name_format', 's f m l');

        this._super('initialize', [options]);
    },

    format: function() {
        var fullname = this.model.attributes.salutation +' '+ this.model.attributes.first_name +' ';
            fullname += this.model.attributes.middle_name_c +' '+ this.model.attributes.last_name;

        return fullname;
    },
})

But main issue is this.model.attributes.middle_name_c is blank.

I've not tried this myself but I don't think you need to override the format Name Model function, just pass an extra variable to specify the format you want.

If you look at the app.utils.formatNameModel function in sidecar/src/utils/utils.js

You will see that you can pass the format you want to override the user format:

  formatNameModel: function(module, data, format) {
      format = format || app.user.getPreference('default_locale_name_format');

So I would try redefining your format function:

    format: function() {
        var format = 's f m l';
        return app.utils.formatNameModel(this.model.module, this.model.attributes, format);
    },

The formatNameModel function should do all the work for you based on the format you are passing.

See if that works.

In general, to get the attributes' values I use this.model.get('<attribute name>'):

this.model.get('middle_name_c');

And to set them use this.model.set('<attribute name>', '<attribute value>');

this.model.set('middle_name_c', 'Carols');

additional data points. Same is happening with list view. any suggestions how this could be fixed ?
