Custom Date field "range Search" does not show in "Popup Search"

Asaf Army

Hello,

I Created a Date Field in the Accounts module called "Founded Date" and marked the "Range Search" property so i could find Accounts in a range of dates.

i added the field to the basic search and the Popup Search.

In the Basic Search i see the range search:

range3.png

But when i get inside Cases module and Create a new case and click on the Accounts relate field,

i see the Date Field without the range search in the Search Popup of Accounts:

range4.png

i read about it online.

i changed the row in file include/sugarFields/Fields/Base/SugarfieldBase.php from this:

return !empty($vardef['enable_range_search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action']!='Popup';

to this

return !empty($vardef['enable_range_search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['action']);

So now i see it as ranged search but the date is ignored completely when pushing "Search" !

i choose "Equals to" = 2/3/2016 but it still shows the account with 9/3/2016 value in Founded Date field:

range5.png

how can i make the field take part of the search?

please help!

    Hi Asaf,

    This is a known defect. However, there is a workaround mentioned in the defect description. To do this, go to line 656 of ./include/SugarFields/Fields/Base/SugarFieldBase.php and change it to this:

    return !empty($vardef['enable_range_search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['action']); // && $_REQUEST['action']!='Popup';

    Note that the last portion of the line is now commented out. Run a QRR and this should now be working. It's important to note that this is NOT upgrade-safe. You can try redefining this function in the custom folder to see if the changes would work in an upgrade-safe way. If you try that, let me know the results.

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you for the response.

    i also tried that already and read the solution here (and even commented on the response):

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18738289/date-field-do-not-display-dropdown-in-popup-of-sugarcrm

    it does change the field to be a range search, but when pushing "Search" button the date field is completely ignored.

    like it doesn't exist and still present all records.

    i also changed the post above. i managed to make the date field change to ranged search but in my solution also, the date is ignored completely when searched.

    Hi Asaf,

    Again, this solution is NOT upgrade-safe and these changes will be lost if/when you upgrade. That said, you can try adding the following at line 295 of include/Popups/PopupSmarty.php:

    if(file_exists('custom/modules/'.$this->module.'/metadata/SearchFields.php')) {
    require('custom/modules/'.$this->module.'/metadata/SearchFields.php');
}

    Let me know if that helps!
