metadata/recordDefs/EntityName.json > disable only some times

[Kyle]

Hi,
I have an extension I am trying to update to work with version 7

For some entities I have some additional logic for Merge, Mass Delete, MassUpdate previously i used the controller and overrode the methods to do the checks, this no longer works

v6 example:

public function actionMerge($params, $data, $request)
{
if(!$this->myChecks()){
    throw new Forbidden();
}

return parent::actionMerge($params, $data, $request);
} 

in v7 this and the other method checks do not seem to run.

I have been looking at using: metadata/recordDefs/EntityName.json
Is it possible to add logic here or only set allowed true/false?

Is there a method I can override now in v7 to get the same functionality?

Hello Kyle

Not sure if this helps but there is a new method signature that uses the Request object instead of the previous parameters ($params, $data, $request) and perhaps that might be causing the problem, you can see an example of how I fixed a similar issue in this post: https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/inst...5608#post75608

Thanks, this does not seem to be the issue. The controller seems to have been removed from the chain and the checks need to occur somewhere else.

I have found the solution


in records defs create a file named for your entity

add the following for the methods you wish to do the verification for

{
    "massActions": {
        "update": {
            "implementationClassName": "Espo\\Modules\\MyModule\\Classes\\MassAction\\User\\MassUpdate"
        },
        "delete": {
            "implementationClassName": "Espo\\Modules\\MyModule\\Classes\\MassAction\\User\\MassDelete"
        }
    }
} 

in this case I am overriding the existing user ones otherwise you would extend the base classes

<?php
namespace Espo\Modules\MyModule\Classes\MassAction\User;
use Espo\Core\MassAction\Result;
use Espo\Core\MassAction\Params;
use Espo\Core\MassAction\Data;
class MassDelete extends \Espo\Classes\MassAction\User\MassDelete
{
    public function process(Params $params, Data $data): Result
    {
        MY CUSTOM CHECK HERE
        return parent:process($params, $data);
    }
}
