3 issues which makes EspoCRM the rock bottom perfect system

You need to add fields manually. Metadata path: entityDefs.{ENTITY_NAME}.collection.textFilterFiel ds
It's a array of fields.
Add custom/Espo/Cusom/Resources/metadata/entitiDefs/ENTITY_NAME.json

{
  "collection": {
    "textFilterFields": ["name", "description"]
  }
} 

When you will search you will need to add % to the beginning if you need to search not from the start.

what exactly does that mean?? i added a file to custom/Espo/Cusom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/ENTITY_NAME.json to the suggested directory.? Why this is a json file and you say its php code? I'm sure I did it completely wrong. Am I right when I say its in smarty framework?

[yuri]

It's metadata stored in json. See application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Lead.json
If you create the same in custom it will be merged in result.

[theode]

EspoCRM/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Lead.json I created this file with content above and emptied cache but its still not searching description...

[yuri]

Try to add % to search query
%hello word

[theode]

Thank you very much for your efforts.

I tried it and it does not work...Is there a way to check if the merge is successful?

what exactly is the difference between a Lead (Intressenten) and a Contact (Kontakte) I need the search funtion of extra fields on Contacts and not on leads.


is there a way to "pre-install" fields in a new install (like a script or change on a file to add fields?)


Best

[yuri]

Should be merged into

data/cache/application/metadata.php

The place where this is used: application/Espo/Core/SelectManagers/Base.php Method getTextFilterFields

[theode]

does not update....it has still the date from second August and did not update anything.

sorry to bother you but its quite important for me using it in the wild!

[yuri]

custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Lead.json

{
    "collection": {
        "textFilterFields": ["name", "description"]
    }
} 

Clear Cache.

Just tried and it was merged into data/cache/application/metadata.php after clear cache.

[theode]

not sure why I can't get this to work...is there a specia lone for contacts...?
How to create fields which are present from the beginning?

[theode]

could it be my mamp is not clearing cache correctly?

[yuri]

Maybe.

You can debug.

application/Espo/Core/SelectManagers/Base.php

getTextFilterFields method.

[theode]

ok had this file there at install already...seems to be something is worng I don't know

[theode]

Have in

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CRM/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Contact.json
and
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CRM/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Lead.json

exactly this file

{
    "collection": {
        "textFilterFields": ["name", "description","address_city"]
    }
}

cleared cahce but is still not searching eg city.

[yuri]

hmm, try addressCity
