Custom code after migration from 6 to 7

Question

I did a migration of SugarCrm from 6 to 7.6.1 for my customer, i have lost custom codes. I tried to add custom code but it does'nt work. I added my custom code for field name in account, but nohting happens.

this is my editviewdefs.php:

$viewdefs['Accounts']['EditView'] = array(
    'templateMeta' => array(
                            'form' => array('buttons'=>array('SAVE', 'CANCEL')),
                            'maxColumns' => '2', 
                            'useTabs' => true,
                            'widths' => array(
                                            array('label' => '10', 'field' => '30'),
                                            array('label' => '10', 'field' => '30'),
                                            ),
                            'includes'=> array(
                                            array('file'=>'modules/Accounts/Account.js'),
                                         ),
                           ),
                           
    'panels' => array(
    
      'lbl_account_information' => 
      array (
        array (
          array (
            'name' => 'name',
            'label' => 'LBL_NAME',
            'displayParams' => 
            array (
              'required' => true,
            ),
            'customCode' => '{literal}<script language="javascript">function calcUpperAccount(newValue, form) {

            form.name.value = form.name.value.toUpperCase();
                
            }</script>{/literal}
            
            {if is_null($fields.name.value) || $fields.name.value == ""}{assign var="accountname" value=""}{else}{assign var="accountname" value=$fields.name.value}{/if}

            <input type=\'text\' name=\'name\' id=\'name\' onchange=\'calcUpperAccount(this.value, EditView);\' size=\'30\' maxlength=\'25\'  title=\'\' tabindex=\'3\' value = \'{$accountname}\'>            
            ',
          ),
          array (
            'name' => 'phone_office',
            'label' => 'LBL_PHONE_OFFICE',
          ),
        ),

editviewdefs.php is not used by SugarCrm V7 modules. Instead of Edit-/Detail-View in V7 there is the RecordView .

To extend the RecordView with your js-function calcUpperAccount() at the change-event the following works for me:

Create file: custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/views/record/record.js

({

extendsFrom : 'AccountsRecordView',

initialize : function (options) {

this._super('initialize', [options]);

this.events["change input[name=name]"] = 'calcUpperAccount';

},

calcUpperAccount : function () {

var hname = this.model.get('name');

if (!_.isEmpty(hname))

{

this.model.set('name', hname.toUpperCase());

}

})

But the solution above doesn't work if you edit the Account name in the ListView. An alternative could be to customize the fields of type 'name' for accounts:

Create file: custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/fields/name/name.js

({

plugins : ['EllipsisInline', 'MetadataEventDriven'],

_render : function () {

if (this.view.name === 'record' || this.view.name === 'audit') {

this.def.link = false;

} else if (this.view.name === 'preview') {

this.def.link = _.isUndefined(this.def.link) ? true : this.def.link;

}

this._super('_render');

},

/**

* Called when formatting the value for display

*/

format: function(value) {

value = value.toUpperCase();

return this._super('format', [value]);

},

/**

* Called when unformatting the value for storage

*/

unformat: function(value) {

value = value.toUpperCase();

return this._super('unformat', [value]);

}

})
