Sugar 7 Contact module record view header add middle name

RE: Sugar 7 Contact module record view header add middle name

Something of a work around resolution.

The middle name functionality is retained in contacts, and other plasec, but we had an issue where it was showing as undefined when used on reports.

So we amended the fullname.js file as follows for our on prem Enterprise V13.0.2 system:
The full name only shows as firstname surname but that is good enough for our purposes

/*
* I only want to apply this change to the Contacts modules so put this file in:
* custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/fields/fullname/
*/
({
extendsFrom: 'FullnameField',formatMap: {
'f': 'first_name',
'l': 'last_name',
's': 'salutation',
'm': 'sym_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() {
	if (this.model.get('last_name')===undefined)
	{
		return this.model.attributes["full_name"];
	}
	var fullname = this.model.get('salutation') +' '+ this.model.get('first_name') +' ';
	fullname += this.model.get('sym_middle_name_c') +' '+ this.model.get('last_name');
	return fullname;

},
})

Picking this up again .
We have this working in an on prem site on version 8 of enterprise,
We are upgrading them to V13.0.2

For the most part, the customisaion works in the contacts module as before.... but the name is showing as "undefined Undefined Undefined" in reports

What could we be missing so the customised full name shows in reports?

Greg

Hi All,

Like you added middle name to list view, add to record view also.

Now you will not get undefined in record view/blank in edit view.

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

Hi Matt Marum,

Offshore Evolution - try the suggestion I gave David Sillah which was to check to make sure you created the "middle_name" custom field for the Contacts module. If it doesn't already exist, then Francesca's example will not work.

Offshore Evolution — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 05:19:48 GMT

Hi David Sillah

I have same issue.

Matt Marum — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:43:21 GMT

Did you remember to add the "middle_name" custom field to the Contacts module? This could explain why it would be showing up as "undefined".

RE: Sugar 7 Contact module record view header add middle name

David Sillah — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 14:36:31 GMT

I have the same issue that @ Offshore Evolution had regarding the "undefined" in the middle name field.

I have followed your response and done what was said but still having the same issue.

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

({
	extendsFrom: 'FullnameField',

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

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

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

	format: function() {
	var fullname = this.model.attributes.salutation +' '+ this.model.attributes.first_name +' ';
	fullname += (!_.isEmpty(this.model.attributes.preferred_name_c)) ? '"'+ this.model.attributes.preferred_name_c +'" ': ' ';
	fullname += this.model.attributes.middle_name_c +' '+ this.model.attributes.last_name;

	return fullname;
	},
	})

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');

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.

Yes it is working with list view page.

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

RE: Sugar 7 Contact module record view header add middle name

Francesca Shiekh — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 18:38:37 GMT

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

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

.record-cell[data-name="mi_c"]{ //name of your custom middle_name field
width: 10em !important;
}
