Call Custom Function on the Click of Menu Item - php

I have created one custom submenu inside the lead menu as "Process Leads" and now i want to call one custom function with the help of that menu item. i have defined it as:
$menu_item[]=Array("index.php?module=Leads&action=callCustom", "Process Leads", "");
Now the question is that where should i have to defined this callCustom function in the code?

index.php should never be changed in SuiteCRM - its a framework not a simple php script. So you have a proper way to do things.
Now to the code.
Actions are defined in the controller, in your case its the Lead module.
What I usually do is go to modules/Leads folder and I copy controller.php to custom/modules/Leads.
Edit the file and create your custom action like
function action_customaction() {
global $mod_string;
if (isset($_REQUEST['yourParameter'])) {
// Your awesome code here
}
}
Good luck with that

override a function wrapped with if (!function_exists)

I'm using "Advanced Scripts plugin" to modify a function of other plugin, the fuction I'm trying to modify is wrappd with if( !function_exists('some_function') ).
the function inside the plugins is like this
if( !function_exists('send-invoice') ){
function send-invoice(){
//The Plugin Invoice
}
}
This is what I did
function send-invoice(){
//My Custom Invoice
}
add_action('init', 'send-invoice');
How can I make sure that my code runs before the plugin codes?
The plugin load before the theme, I tried plugin-loaded hook but nothing changed
You can to use the anonymous function for example:
add_action('init', function() {
//code here
});
More detail is here
Or use another hook muplugins_loaded:
function send-invoice(){
//My Custom Invoice
}
add_action('muplugins_loaded', 'send-invoice');
If nothing else work for you you can create a custom plugin, name it something like "aaamyplugin" and just insert there a single .php file with the function you are trying to override. This is the easiest (not cleanest) way to make sure your code overrides the plugin functions.
The reason for this is because Wordpress plugin loading order is simply alphabetical, that means that everything named before the plugin you are trying to override, get loaded first.
The cleanest way would be to look into the source code of the plugin to understand how it does what it does. Like: when does it load that file that contains the function you are trying to override? That's the important question to answer if you want to go with clean way

How to attach a module to a drupal article?

I have a php function in a drupal module. This function outputs some random text. I want to attach this module to a Drupal article so that each time someone creates an article, random text will appear in it. How can I do this?
The solution here is to use a Drupal hook function to modify the content of the node.
Assuming your module is called "my_module":, you'd add another function to your my_module.module file as follows:
function my_module_node_view(&$node, $view_mode, $langcode) {
// We want to make sure this only applies to nodes of the content type "article"
if ($node->type == "article") {
// Append the output of your function to the body; this could easily be added to any other field as well
$node->body['und'][0]['value'] = $node->body['und'][0]['value'] . my_module_random_text_function();
}
}
Note: the $node object is automatically passed to this hook function by reference, so you don't need to worry about returning anything from the function.
If you wanted to apply this at the theme layer, you could use the theme_preprocess_node hook in your theme's template.php file, but your original question suggested that you'd already gone down the plugin route.

opencart controller and children

I have two questions:
In a controller ControllerMainIndex in opencart we do define
$this->children = array("common/footer");
Then how should I utilize it in the main/index.tpl file?
It is a little bit vague for me. We have told the controller to get footer but in the main file how should we specify their position?
Second question, I create controller ControllerMasterNewPage and then in I $this->render() (after setting the template to "master/newpage.tpl").
But how should I access this controller? I means what should be typed in the browser for this controller to be process and have output?
1) Just call <?php echo $footer ?> it will output that child content
2) http://example.com/index.php?route=path/MasterNewPage/actionName
e.g.: We have file in {root}/catalog/controller/product/category.php (class name ControllerProductCategory), call it: http://example.com/index.php?route=product/category

CodeIgniter / Pyrocms - how do I make my custom modules sub-navigation alter to suit the section?

I'm making a custom module for PyroCMS, and I want to get the section menu working with regard to applying the current class. The CMS php, which I don't want to change looks like this:
<li class="<?php if ($name === $active_section) echo 'current' ?>">
When I'm viewing /admin/courses/ this is correct, and the first navigation element has the class, current.
$name is taken from the language file, as set up in details.php.
$active_section is taken from the view, and is equal to
$this->_ci_cached_vars['active_section']
However when I view /admin/courses/chapters/, 'courses' is still determined by the system to be the current section, so the navigation is confusing.
What I need is a way of changing the value of $active_session in the view acording to which function of the controller (index, chapters or pages) is being used.
I've tried changing the value of $this->_ci_cached_vars['active_section'] in each controller function, but that doesn't work. Any ideas?
I'm sure there's something basic I'm missing completely.
Got it.
I'm using multiple methods in one controller, and the 'protected $section = 'courses'; line, which happens before the index method, was setting the section for everything.
It couldn't be set a second time within another method, but there is a way to define a section within a method.
$this->template->active_section = 'section';
Starting my method as follows gave me what I wanted.
public function chapters(){
//Set active section
$this->template->active_section = 'chapters';
...
}

widget within module in Yii

I'm trying to create a widget within the module and then load that widget from 'outside' of the module. More particularly I'm using user module written by someone else. I don't want to have a separate page for displaying a login form, therefore I tried to make a CPortlet/widget (confusion) displaying the login form. Basically, I've moved the code from LoginController into that widget. Then I try to display the widget on some random page by
<?php $this->widget('user.components.LoginForm'); ?>
However, I get an error
CWebApplication does not have a method named "encrypting".
in UserIdentity class in this line:
else if(Yii::app()->controller->module->encrypting($this->password)!==$user->password)
This happens, because I'm basically trying to execute this code within context of the app and not the module. Thus the "Yii::app()->controller->module" trick doesn't really work as expected.
What am I doing wrong:-\
Is there a better way to achieve this. I.e. display that login form in some other page, which is normally displayed by accessing login controller within user module (user/login) or is a widget the right way of doing it?
Thanks.
The quick solution
Ok, so I simply ended up doing
Yii::app()->getModule('user')->encrypting($this->password)
instead of
Yii::app()->controller->module->encrypting($this->password)
Notice that now the module must be called 'user' in the main config, but I think this allows for more flexibility. I.e. we're not bound to only use module functionality within the module.
Additional insight on displaying widget outside of the module scope
After playing more with it that's what I did. In the UserModule.php I've created a method
public static function id() {
return 'user';
}
Then everywhere where I need the module I use
Yii::app()->getModule(UserModule::id())->encrypting($this->password)
I don't like having many imports related to the module like:
'application.modules.user.models.*',
'application.modules.user.components.*',
Because we already have those imports in the UserModule.php:
public function init()
{
// this method is called when the module is being created
// you may place code here to customize the module or the application
// import the module-level models and components
$this->setImport(array(
'user.models.*',
'user.components.*',
));
}
Therefore whenever you know that some piece of functionality will be used outside of the module it's important to make sure the module is loaded. For example, in the LoginForm widget that I am trying to display NOT in one of the module controllers, I have this line of code:
$model = new UserLogin;
However, UserLogin is a model inside of the User module, and in order to be able to autoload this model we first have to make sure the module was initialised:
$module = Yii::app()->getModule(UserModule::id());
$model = new UserLogin;
I hope this will be helpful if you were stuck with the whole modules concept the way I was.
http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6449-access-another-modules-model/ was useful but hard to find =)
You better move that encrypting() into a MyUserIdentiy class which extends CUserIdentity. Whatever the code you take to use, they putting the method in controller is a bad idea and as a result you cannot reuse that code.
The login form should still post to User/Login controller but I guess they use Yii's standard login code and you might want to modify it to use the MyUserIdentity.
