At times we have clients asking for similar requirement, that they want to filter results by related module's field.
Lets take basic modules and achieve similar goal by coding. Here, one needs to have idea about creating basic mysql query.
We have Accounts and Contacts module in SugarCRM. Accounts has one-many relationship with Contacts. We will add Accounts module's type field in Contacts search.
Create non-db field in Contacts module named as account_type_search. Write following code into custom/Extensions/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/<anyname>.php
Write following code into search field definition. Copy modules/Contacts/metadata/SearchFields.php to custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/SearchFields.php if doesn't exist and write following code into it. If it exists at custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/SearchFields.php then add following code with <?php.
