Another interesting question on SugarCRM Forum attracted me to implement the request and here I go and write the solution for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steps are as below,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1<\/strong>: Create a flag field which allows you to mass convert Targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a file under custom\/Extension\/modules\/Prospects\/Ext\/Vardefs\/<any_name>.php and write following code in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a file under custom\/Extension\/modules\/Prospects\/Ext\/Language\/en_us.<any_name>.php and write following code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then do Quick Repair and Rebuild which will give you a query to add a new field in prospects table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong>: Create a before_save logic hook in Prospects module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a file logic_hooks.php under custom\/modules\/Prospects if doesn’t exist, or else add following code in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong>: Lets add logic behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a file convertIntoLeads.php under custom\/modules\/Prospects and add following code which copies the values from Prospect and creates a new lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now go to List View of Prospects and select the records you want to convert into Leads and mass update them by selecting Convert to Leads “Yes”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s all! All selected Prospects are now converted into Leads!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<?php \n$dictionary['Prospect']['fields']['convert_prospect'] = array('name' => 'convert_prospect',\n 'vname' => 'LBL_CONVERT_PROSPECT',\n 'type' => 'bool',\n 'default' => '0',\n 'massupdate' => true,\n );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<?php\n$mod_strings['LBL_CONVERT_PROSPECT'] => 'Convert Leads';<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<?php \n$hook_array['before_save'][] = Array(1, 'Mass Convert Prospects into Leads', 'custom\/modules\/Prospects\/convertIntoLeads.php','convertIntoLeadsC', 'convertIntoLeadsF');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<?php \nclass convertIntoLeadsC {\n function convertIntoLeadsF($bean, $event, $args) {\n if (isset($bean->convert_prospect) && $bean->convert_prospect != $bean->fetched_row['convert_prospect'] && empty($bean->lead_id)) {\n $oLead = new Lead();\n foreach ($oLead->field_defs as $keyField => $aFieldName) {\n $oLead->$keyField = $bean->$keyField;\n }\n $oLead->id = '';\n $oLead->save(true);\n $bean->lead_id = $oLead->id;\n }\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
