I've add a new address-formater. In which folder I've to upload the string and file?

[ctheuring]

I've expand the html/application/Espo/Resources/metadata/app/addressFormats.json with Formatter5
and I've add Formatter5.php in html/application/Espo/Classes/AddressFormatters/
Both changes may be overwritten in an update.
So the question: where to upload the new version and file? The whole file or only the new part of the json-file?

Christoph
P.S.
this make the address-layout useful for Germany and near by countries.

custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/addressFormats.json (include only your custom format, as custom metadata is merged with core).

Your formatter you can put somewhere in custom/Espo/Custom/ namespace.

Thank you yuri,
now I've understood the espo-system of adding custom-code

yuri sorry - question again - because it didn't run:
1. I've copied custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/addressFormats.json with content
-----------schnipp----------
{
"5": {
"formatterClassName": "Espo\\Classes\\AddressFormatters\\Formatter5"
}
}
-----------schnapp-----------
2. I've copied formatter5.php to custom/Espo/Custom/Classes/AddressFormatters
content of formatter5.php see attachment
all rights the same as the examples from application/Espo/...
rebuild
... but there is still NO No.5. to choose ...
What's going wrong?

Hey Christoph,

You have a wrong namespace on your Formatter5.php namespace should be

namespace Espo\Custom\Classes\AddressFormatters; 

Currently you have it set as

namespace Espo\Classes\AddressFormatters; 

That is why the class is not loaded.

Cheers

thanks rabii ... I thought, this is the solution
rebuild
but still the same: no No. 5 :-(
so I changed path also in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/addressFormats.json
rebuild
still no No. 5 ???

Hello,

above/my "problem" is not a game-changer or important to "win the war" - but it is an example to learn more about espoCRM and its basic code and its functionallity.

first 2 importend questions to custom-files:
1. did custom-files allways MERGE with their original-counterpart or, on specific case(s), they REPLACE their original-conterpart? E.g. variable notMergeable": true
2. the namespace in the custom-files always point to their custom-version or to their original-version?

now (my) how to append a new AddressForm - within some questions about it:

1. from folder application/Espo/Core/Field/Address :
- AddressAttributeExtractor.php
- AddressBuilder.php
- AddressFactory.php
save custom-versions in folder custom/Espo/Custom/Field/Address

2. save the new Formater as Formatter5.php to custom/Espo/Custom/Classes/AddressFormatters
the namespace point to Espo\Custom\Classes\AddressFormatters

3. as an example from application/Espo/Resources/metadata/app/addressFormats.json
save the expanded parts to custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/addressFormats.json
the formatterClassName changed to "Espo\\Custom\\Classes\\AddressFormatters\\Formatt er5"

4. copy and expand application/Espo/Resources/metadata/fields/address.json
save as/in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/fields/address.json
content-variables are:
"notMergeable": true, -> this meams, that I've to save the WHOLE content with the expanded parts ?
"notCreatable": false, -> ??
"filter": true,
"skipOrmDefs": true,
"personalData": true,
"valueFactoryClassName": "Espo\\Core\\Field\\Address\\AddressFactory", -> change (or not) to "Espo\\Custom\\Field\\Address\\AddressFactory" ???
"attributeExtractorClassName": "Espo\\Core\\Field\\Address\\AddressAttributeE xtra ctor" -> change (or not) to "Espo\\Custom\\Field\\Address\\AddressAttribut eExt ractor" ???

5. What's about juris link to https://docs.espocrm.com/development/custom-field-type/ ??
in this doc the aim was to delete or change an EXISTING field - my aim is to ADD NEW fields and a new AddressForm

Are all of my points correct and nessessary?

I'll not realize the points before I'm sure, it's correct what I want to to (it's a lot of work ... and if it's wrong, it may be damage the application)
