$GLOBALS["db"]->query()  not working in before save logic hook

If you use before save logic hook in module Users, Sugar logic overwrites field [Description].

You need use this:

function customHook(&$focus, $event, $arguments){
    $focus->description = 'test';
}

Update the bean instead

$user= BeanFactory::getBean('users', '27283e5a-8f34-b846-367a-561fbbb4cb54');

$user->description = 'Test';

Hi Gustav Lindstrom

    I have tried

$user= BeanFactory::getBean('users', '27283e5a-8f34-b846-367a-561fbbb4cb54');

$user->description = 'Test';

    but it wasnt working.

You also need this:

$user->save();

Please make sure your logic hook file is getting called,by printing something to log.

The bean you're changing is it the same that triggers the hook? If it's not I would not use an before save hook but an after instead. If it is you can't save it, as I sad earlier.

     function before_save_method($bean, $event, $arguments){

                    $bean->description = 'Test';

      }

Hi Ajay

     Actually i want to execute an sql query inside the logic hook as i start up i am  using the above query.The code which you have mentioned a above is working for me but need to run an sql query inside the logichook

Hi Gustav

     Actually i want to execute an sql query inside the logic hook as a start up i am  using the above query as a sample.The code($bean->description="Test") is updating the description field.But i want an sql query to get executed in side the logic hook.

Ok.Have you tried like below,

global $db;

$res = $db->query("UPDATE contacts SET description='test' WHERE id='102162e1-62cd-1fa3-1bcf-556fb62dc90b'");

Okay, try the exact same thing you did initially, but with an after save hook. Also do a log call to make sure it running.

$GLOBALS['log']->fatal('Database update');

Hi Ajay

    Yes i have tried.But the sql statement was not updating.

Is it throwing any error to log?

It will be easy to figure it out the issue,if you paste the code here.

Hi Ajay

    This is the code which i am using for executing an sql statement in the before save logic hook

<>/custom/modules/Users/logic_hooks_class.php

$hook_version = 1;

$hook_array = array();

$hook_array['before_save'] = array();

$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(

        //Processing index. For sorting the array.

        1,

        'before_save example',

        'custom/modules/Users/logic_hooks_class.php',

        'logic_hooks_class',

        'before_save_method'

    );

In

<>/custom/modules/Users/logic_hooks.php

<?php

  if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

class logic_hooks_class{

     function before_save_method($bean, $event, $arguments){

          global $db;

          $res = $db->query("UPDATE users SET description='test' WHERE id='27283e5a-8f34-b846-367a-561fbbb4cb54'");

          }

}

          }

}

You have defined wrong path in logic hook definition file.

And

Here is the code snippet to update description field.

Create a file in below path

/crm/custom/Extension/modules/Users/Ext/LogicHooks/logic_hooks_class.php

and content is like below,

<?php

$hook_version = 1;

$hook_array = array();

$hook_array['before_save'] = array();

$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(

        //Processing index. For sorting the array.

        1,

        'before_save example',   

        'custom/modules/Users/UpdateDescription.php',

        'update_Description_Class',

        'update_Description_Method'

    );

Create file in below path

/custom/modules/Users/UpdateDescription.php

and content is

<?php

  if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

class update_Description_Class{

     function update_Description_Method($bean, $event, $arguments){

          global $db;

            $GLOBALS['log']->fatal("test before logic hook called");    

          $res = $db->query("UPDATE users SET description='ajaytest' WHERE id='3a949349-8d59-a91d-85c8-55a5de863611'");    

          }

}

This is working .

Thanks!.

Thank You Ajay

Glad it helps.
