====== PopUp Relations ======
If you use this modification you read and accept the following introduction:
[[en:modifications|https://support.stefanwarnat.de/en:modifications]]
===== Explanation of modification =====
This modification could help you, if you create a custom module and want to link this module with default modules.
For example you create a new Module "Buildings" which has a field "Organization" to link a Organizations.
Now you had a related field in Contacts to choose a record within the new "Buildings" module.
In basic Vtiger you will see every available record in "Buildings" if you click on the search button, regardless if you select a Organization in the Contact, which could limit the available records.
This modification will integrate this in a flexible way.
You could create a configuration in the database to only get Buildings from the Organization of the Contacts as selection. (See below)
But you are not limited to this records. If you use the search option in the popup you could nevertheless select every record.
===== Read first =====
This modification was only tested in vtigerCRM 6.1.
This modification could **decrease the frontend performance a little**, because it needs to be integrated into every EditView. Regardless if you use this feature in the module.
**In modern Browsers you won't recognize this.**
It execute 2 database Queries on the EditView/CreateView and one in the PopUp.
At first please install the latest version of [[https://shop.stefanwarnat.de/vtigercrm-tools/|VtigerCRM Tools]]

===== Create a Relation =====
You now could use this feature.
You need to insert a new line in the just created table vtiger_popup_relation.
You get the values if you open the PopUp you want to modify.
^ Column ^ Value ^
| src_module | You get from the PopUP URL |
| src_field | You get from the PopUP URL |
| module | You get from the PopUP URL |
| search_key | Which field in the related module should be used to search |
| search_value | Which fieldvalue of the record you modify should be used |
=== Example ===
You have a new Field "Contact B" (Fieldname: contactb_id) in the Organization module, which should only choosable from Contacts within the Organization in "Member Of" (Fieldname: account_id)
(Organization fieldname in Contacts module is "account_id", too)
You need to insert:
| **src_module** | Accounts |
| **src_field** | contactb_id |
| **module** | Contacts |
| **search_key** | account_id | (The field within Contacts module) |
| **search_value** | account_id | (The field within Organization module) |
