I am currently working in a sales tracking project - where I am constantly getting into situation where I have to duplicate code about listing, showing or editing models.
I have 3 models, Lead, Customer, and Sales Activity. with 1:1 relations between Lead and Customer and 1:M relation between Lead and Sales Activity.
What I want is that when I SHOW a Lead, I should be able to reuse the show function of customer admin class, and I don't have to redo it in the show function of the Lead admin class.
Similarly, I want to be able add the LIST and CREATE function of the Sales Activity class into the Lead SHOW function without having to recode that which is already present. I could use render(controller()) in a custom template - but that includes the base template as well of the target controller, and it just messes the whole layout
I appreciate any input on the matter. thanks for your time.
Basic answer would be Admin class inheritance.
Another one would be to make a trait with your configureShowFields and use this trait in all of your admin classes.
If you are open to trying out a new bundle you can check : https://github.com/blast-project/CoreBundle
This bundle allows configuration of you admins in Yaml
And one of the features would suit your use case it would look like:
all:
Sonata\AdminBundle\Show\ShowMapper:
add:
name:
type: text
address:
type: textarea
...
It will let you configure your mappers for all your admins

I am currently using Shopizer as a sort of headless CMS, leveraging its out of the box admin pages and REST API for the content. There is a page for editing products in the admin system but I would like to add and/or remove specific fields. Making changes to the base code seems to be the most obvious solution but it is taking me a significant amount of time to implement it successfully.
Is there some sort of a config file or an initialization process to customize the fields for creating categories and products using Shopizer's admin page? What is the best practice for this scenario if the former approach is not possible?
If you need to add fields the easiest way is to add them in model objects
com.salesmanager.core.model.*
Example of an annotated field
#Column (name ="IP_ADDRESS")
private String ipAddress;
Once you restart your instance the new field will be available.

Please help me
I believe you need to add a filter to your xml code.
such as:
filter="RAW" or, probably more appropriately, filter="HTML"
This will keep Joomla from cleaning your code. There are a number of filters available to XML fields when creating modules. You can examine the code here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/master/libraries/joomla/filter/input.php#L167 to see the exact list.
What user group is the account you are using a member of? Super Users and Administrator group types should have no filtering set by default but it sounds like you might need to edit those settings.
From the main menu:
System > Global Configuration > Text Filters (tab)
You will see all the available user groups for you website. The group your user belongs to should have a Filter Type of No Filtering. Another important note is its better to add the user account to a group with the permissions then to arbitrarily adding it to a group type typically reserved for registrants, guests or low-level editing.
I need an advice for my application. I have fleet with Vehicles and every vehicle has its owner. I would like to have possibility to add "Items" to these vehicles such as Insurance etc.
http://s27.postimg.org/c4hb8o02r/screens.jpg
I would like to click on the icon and have a list of items for this vehicle.
Should I create a methods for this within Vehicles Controller or create another one?
The "Items" are different database entities than the Vehicles. You will probably end up doing other actions with those "Items" in the future beyond viewing them (e.g. Create/Edit/Update).
You'll want to manage different database entities separately in an MVC framework.
So yes, create an ItemsController. You can then code a "getItemsByVehicleId" method and build out the View to display them.
I am quite new to ACL
The website is about cars where a dealer can have several brands and in several countries.
For example:
Dealer: John Doe
has the brands Audi in UK, and Kia in France.
I have the below models:
- Brand
- Country
- Dealer
- BrandsCountriesDealers (which links the above three together)
The dealer cannot add / edit a brand or a country. He can only add/edit/delete a car in the country that he has access to and to the brand that he owns.
I was wondering if I use a specific foreign key of the BrandsCountriesDealers model as an ACO only and when the dealer adds a car, I check if this car's brand and country are valid by checking the record in the BrandsCountriesDealers model which he has access to ?
I hope this was clear.
Implementing ACL is a bit hard but not impossible. Once you get use to working with ACL you undrestand how easy and powerful it is. It might take some research to configure and learn it but it is really worthed.
I think you should use ACL for certain reasons:
It makes your code very clean and tidy:
You don't need to keep assign
if user logged in do this
or if user type is this do that
Access Level: No need to write validation for each types of user.
High Security: ACL is working with Auth component
each method can be granted to one or more user type (Role)
Almost every thing is stored in DB so your code is clear again
I remember when I started to work with ACL I followed this tutorial. It is in Portuguese language. I don't know this language but I followed step by step and get it worked.

I have the next issue.
I have a custom object called 'Application', and I have this requirement:
"Show all Contacts related to an Application. Create a field on Application object, must be read only".
I solve it with apex code. 'Application' has a lookup to Opportunity, Opportunity to Account, and all my contacts have AccountId, so this way, I get all the contacts using apex code in a trigger.
But, I've been ask to change this to a Formula field in Application object.
So, my issue is next. I'm not able to get all contacts with advance formula editor, because they're not part of any object. I have no master-detail relationship.
Does any one know how can I achieve this using configuration? I should not use apex code for this req.
Thank in advance guys.
I don't think you can do it.
In formulas / merge fields syntax there's no way to go "up, up then down" (Application -> Opportunity -> Account -> down to Contacts related list). There's also nothing that would let you loop through Contacts (and display what? Ids? Names? Emails?). Roughly speaking you can only go up through dots.
You might want to explore path of "cross object workflow" rules but I imagine that when I add a new Contact to Account it should somehow "spread itself" to all related Applications? There's no straight way to fire a workflow on delete too - so you'd eventually end up with inaccurate list.
I'd say trigger was a good solution. Maybe it ws unoptimized but if it has to be in a field - tough.
There might be a fairly simple way of achieving that by embedding a visualforce page within Application page layout.
This should be doable with pure Visualforce (so technically there will be no Apex code ;))
Something as simple as
<apex:relatedList list="Contacts" subject="Application__c.Opportunity__r.AccountId" />
would be a good start (if you want your own layout and not a rel. list - you should be still able to pull it off with <apex:repeat> or <apex:pageBlockTable>.
There's one BUT here: it's not a field, just a display trick. Forget about using it in reports, mobile applications etc.
Another way - would it be acceptable to be 1 click away from these contacts? You could make a report "Account with Contacts", filter it by Id of one Account and later use "URL hacking" to change the filter depending on from which Application you'll click it. This link could be either a formula field or a real custom button/link. Technically - it's pure config, no apex & VF.
