beforeSave calling a function

[Scott_Smith]

I have a large section of code in beforeSave that needs to be called several times and I would like to make it a function.

I have tried very simple functions(as below) but seem unable to call a function at all???

ex:

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\Task;
use Espo\ORM\Entity;
class Task extends \Espo\Core\Hooks\Base
{
public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options = array())
{
abc();
}
public function abc()
{
d$='test';
}

}

Many thanks!
Scott

Hi

You are in class. Here are methods, not functions. to call abc you need to write $this->abc(); (BTW, better make this method protected or private)

[Scott_Smith]

Yes of course!... thanks for the prompt reply!

[Scott_Smith]

Hmm... still not working... such a simple method??? I really don't get it... throws off error 500

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\Task;
use Espo\ORM\Entity;
class Task extends \Espo\Core\Hooks\Base
{
public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options = array())
{
$this->abc();
}
protected function abc()
{
d$='test';
}

}

Got it... stupid typo with the d$ instead of $d... rolling now.... thought I would put this up to share...

I created an Entity called Processes which will have an Assignee and Instructions in RichText
I then added a special type of Task/modified the layout called 'New Hire' and beforeSave the following code spawns multiple tasks so they appear in the assignees respective calendars and of course in the Tasks List

Best regards
Scott

Hi Maryam123,
Tanya is not working in the EspoCRM company any more. So you better to involve some other developers. I'd like to help you but I am not a developer. I have only one guess that probably might be helpful. I think that the error description says that you put your Hook into the wrong directory (your Hook is located in /custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks. But it should be in /custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks/Contact if the target entity is Contact: e.g. /custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks/Contact/Contact.php).
Please read this https://docs.espocrm.com/development/hooks/#example.
