Subpanel to be Editable Before Create A Record Like Opportunity Revenue Line Items

Hi Ash,

Yes, we can do that. Have a look into modules/Opportunities/clients/base/layouts/create/create.php and you will notice that an extra layout called "subpanels-create" been added to the components array after create view component. This layout is defined in modules/Opportunities/clients/base/layouts/subpanels-create/subpanels-create.php

So now, go to your custom module and copy the following code in

1. custom/modules/<your_custom_module>/clients/base/layouts/create/create.php

<?php

//custom create layout with RLI create layout
$viewdefs['<custom_module_name>']['base']['layout']['create'] = array(
    'components' => array(
        array(
            'layout' => array(
                'type' => 'default',
                'name' => 'sidebar',
                'components' => array(
                    array(
                        'layout' => array(
                            'type' => 'base',
                            'name' => 'main-pane',
                            'css_class' => 'main-pane span8',
                            'components' => array(
                                array(
                                    'view' => 'create',
                                ),
                                array(
                                    'layout' => 'subpanels-create',
                                ),
                            ),
                        ),
                    ),
                    array(
                        'layout' => array(
                            'type' => 'base',
                            'name' => 'preview-pane',
                            'components' => array(
                                array(
                                    'layout' => 'create-preview',
                                ),
                            ),
                        ),
                    ),
                ),
                'last_state' => array(
                    'id' => 'create-default',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),
);

where <custom_module_name> is your custom module name you see in the URL while accessing your custom module.

2. copy following code to custom/modules/<your_custom_module>/clients/base/layouts/subpanels-create/subpanels-create.php

<?php

//layout for RLI create
$viewdefs['<custom_module_name>']['base']['layout']['subpanels-create'] = array(
    'type' => 'subpanels',
    'components' => array(
        array(
            'layout' => 'subpanel-create',
            'label' => 'LBL_RLI_SUBPANEL_TITLE',
            'override_subpanel_list_view' => 'subpanel-for-opportunities-create',
            'context' => array(
                'link' => '<link_name_with_RLI>',
            ),
        )
    ),
);

where <link_name_with_RLI> is the link name for revenue line items module from your custom module.

Define the label "LBL_RLI_SUBPANEL_TITLE" in custom/Extension/modules/<your_custom_module>/Ext/Language/en_us.lang.php file

Try quick repair and rebuild and see if you can see the RLI create subpanel during record create in your custom module.

Let us know if this helps.

This code has worked for years but has stopped working with a recent upgrade.  Now, the page will no longer scroll if it is bigger than one page.  Has anyone determined how to make this code work with the most recent upgrades.

I know this code does not work on v13.3 or v14.  I think it worked in v13.2 but can't be sure.

I was given a fix for this.

'css_class' => 'main-pane span8',
should match what is in the newest versions:
'css_class' => 'main-pane overflow-y-auto span8',
