How to call merge function in custom page ?

Hello Tevfik Tümer

Thanks for prompt reply.

I tried models as model but still same error.

I m using Sugarcrm 7.6

Hello Tevfik Tümer

Any Update for the same

Hi Bhavin,

Sorry for late response, I was really busy.

I tired in my development instance. I was able to open merge drawer with following lines;

    initialize: function (options) {
        this.plugins.push('MergeDuplicates');
        console.log("initialize", this.plugins);
        this._super('initialize', [options]);
        this.context.on('button:do_magic:click', this.do_magic, this);
    },


    do_magic: function() {
        console.log("Magic!");
        var self = this;
        var records = app.data.createBeanCollection('Accounts');
        records.fetch({
            'filter':[{
                "id": {
                    '$in':[
                        '1d04422d-2225-7171-13f8-5795e4bf6e42',
                        'ad73be90-34c8-f292-cd5b-5795e4eb1074'
                    ]
                }
            }],
            success:function (collection) {
                console.log(collection);
                self.mergeDuplicates(collection);
            }
        })
    }

Simple explanation about behind the scenes.

In order to open mergeDuplicates drawer you need to include plugin. Depend on where you are going to do this functionality you need to check it exist or not. If it's not exist in your plugings you can add it like I added in initialize function.

        this.plugins.push('MergeDuplicates');
        console.log("initialize", this.plugins);

After that you would need to create your beancollection. Then give it to mergeDuplicates function.

Thats all. I've tested on 7.6.2.1 ENT.

Hope it helps

Hi Tevfik Tümer

My initialize function does not executes

it says,

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token (

I have included the js in bwc page.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi Bhavin,

Please check your syntax in your code. Seems like your syntax is not correct.

The code i've shared with you is tested. So, there has to be a mistaken parentheses or forgotten comma.

Try to share full code see, if we can get your syntax error.

Hello Tevfik Tümer

Here is my full code.

custom/modules/Configurator/test.php

<?php
ini_set("display_errors",1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE);
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
global $db, $sugar_config, $mod_strings, $app_strings;
require_once('include/SugarQuery/SugarQuery.php');
require_once('data/SugarBean.php');
?>
<script src="custom/modules/Configurator/test.js"></script>
<input type="button" onclick="do_magic();" value="click" name="do_magic" id="do_magic"/>

custom/modules/Configurator/test.js

initialize: function (options) {  
    console.log(this);
        this.plugins.push('MergeDuplicates');  
        console.log("initialize", this.plugins);  
        this._super('initialize', [options]);  
        this.context.on('button:do_magic:click', this.do_magic, this);  
    },     
    do_magic: function() {  
        console.log("Magic!");  
        var self = this;  
        var records = app.data.createBeanCollection('Accounts');  
        records.fetch({  
            'filter':[{  
                "id": {  
                    '$in':[  
                        'de4333f7-ed82-4481-557e-5780b9505dd7',  
                        '6ab35041-759b-78f0-0a3c-577f90e687fd'  
                    ]  
                }  
            }],  
            success:function (collection) {  
                console.log(collection);  
                self.mergeDuplicates(collection);  
            }  
        })  
    },  

Hi Bhavin,

Okay, I understand your problem. Because you are using BWC you cannot initiate your plugin.

In order to add your plugin into your BWC modules. You need to customise bwc view of sidecar.

Create a file ./custom/clients/base/views/bwc/bwc.js with following code block;

/*
 * Your installation or use of this SugarCRM file is subject to the applicable
 * terms available at
 * support.sugarcrm.com/.../.
 * If you do not agree to all of the applicable terms or do not have the
 * authority to bind the entity as an authorized representative, then do not
 * install or use this SugarCRM file.
 *
 * Copyright (C) SugarCRM Inc. All rights reserved.
 */
({
  'extendsFrom': 'BwcView',
  initialize: function (options) {
        if ( this.plugins.indexOf('MergeDuplicates') == -1 ) 
             this.plugins.push('MergeDuplicates');
        console.log("initialize", this.plugins);
        this._super('initialize', [options]);
    },
})

Then you need to change your test.js like this;

var do_magic = function() {  
    console.log("Magic!");  
    var self = this; 
    // You need to set this module name with records for merging
    var mergeModule = "Accounts";


    //getting app from parent window
    var app = window.parent.SUGAR.App;
    console.log("app", app);
    
    //accessing bwc view
    var bwcView = app.controller.layout._components[0];
    //getting existing bwc module name a side
    var previousContextModule = bwcView.context.get("module");
    //hacking bwc module context for mergeDuplicates drawer
    bwcView.context.set("module", mergeModule);
    console.log("bwcView", bwcView);
    
    var bwcView_plugins = app.controller.layout._components[0].plugins;
    console.log("bwcView_plugins", bwcView_plugins);
    //init collection for given merge module
    var records = app.data.createBeanCollection(mergeModule);  
    records.fetch({  
        'filter':[{  
            "id": {  
                '$in':[  
                    'a0d1575b-b89a-852e-8e67-5795e4dee355',  
                    '955d508f-4a8e-6bdf-b449-5795e4d41fb1'  
                ]  
            }  
        }],  
        success: function (collection) {  
            console.log(collection);
            //open merge duplicates drawer
            bwcView.mergeDuplicates(collection);  
        },
        //this will run every after ajax call without its state(success or fail)
        complete: function () {
            //setting back the context module
            bwcView.context.set("module", previousContextModule);
            console.log("bwcView reset context", bwcView);
        } 
    })  
};

I've tested it works full functional.

Hi Bhavin,

I used your test.php;

<?php  
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');  
global $db, $sugar_config, $mod_strings, $app_strings;  
require_once('include/SugarQuery/SugarQuery.php');  
require_once('data/SugarBean.php');  
?>  
<script src="custom/modules/Configurator/test.js"></script>
<input type="button" onclick="do_magic();" value="click" name="do_magic" id="do_magic"/>

And navigated to /#bwc/index.php?module=Configurator&action=test

Did you run repairs? Quick Repair and Rebuild?
