Not able to relate contacts and notes custom code

Hi 

You only can call load_relationship on an existing record, additionally the link on Notes to Contacts is 'contact', so the code may looks like that:

global $current_user;

$notas = BeanFactory::getBean('Notes');
$notas->name = $name;
$notas->description = $desc;
$notas->id = create_guid();
$notas->new_with_id = true;
$notas->filename = $name.'.pdf';
$notas->tipo_documento_c = $tipoDoc;
$notas->assigned_user_id=$current_user->id;
$notas->save();$notas->load_relationship('contact');
$notas->contact->add($beanContact);

Regards

Thanks a lot André

Another question that I have is if I would be able to call the "load_relationship" between contacts and a custom module in a logic_hook.

I mean, I am creatig a record in a custom module that has a 1:1 relationship with "Contacts", so when I create the record of the custom module, I select the contact I want to realte with.

Then I call an "after_save" logic_hook to run some actions against the contact related.... but never get to load such contact

Here is the code:

if ($bean->load_relationship('contacts'))
{
    //Fetch related beans
    $relatedBeans = $bean->contacts->getBeans();
}
$existe =null;
Tools::LogWrite("Num total related records:".sizeof($relatedBeans));

I have tried to use "contacts" and "contact", but "relatedBeans is always empty.

How can I recover this related record in this logic_hook?. AS it is an after_save, the custom record must be created already right?

Thanks a lot

If you created the relationship through studio then the link name will not be just "contact" or "contacts", instead it will be a bigger string which concatenates both custom module and Contacts.

Take a look at custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/. Look for a file whose name looks like the name of your custom module. Open up it and search for a field whose type is "link" . That will be the link name to be passed as parameter of method "load_relationship".

Thanks!.... I dont know how I could forget about this!!!....hours trying to find the error!

Thanks a lot!

There is NO real relation betweeen contacts and notes.You can see that in the database, there is no table contacts_notes or notes_contacts.

The contact is related by the flex relate field "parent" which is implemented by the two fileds parent_type and parent_id.

So you only have to set

$notas->parent_type = 'Contacts';

$notas->parent_id = $contactid; // id of the contact to be linked

That means the contact must exist before you create the note and set the parent link.

Did you try the logic_hooks for the events after_relationship_add resp. after_relationship_delete?

They are called on each change of a relationship by both modules, an excellent place to add relation related customizations. You find the parts of the relationship in the 3rd paramter array of the logic_hook function.
