after_ui_frame

Overview

The after_ui_frame hook executes after the frame has been invoked and before the footer has been invoked for modules in backward compatibility mode. This logic hook has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. For information on modifying the footer, please refer to Adding Buttons to the Application Footer.

Definition

function after_ui_frame($event, $arguments){}

Arguments

Name Type Description
event String The current event
arguments Array Additional information related to the event (typically empty)

Considerations

  • This hook is only applicable for modules in backward compatibility mode.
  • This hook is executed on most views such as the DetailView, EditView, and Listview.
  • Application hooks do not make use of the $bean argument.
  • This is logic hook can be used as a global reference (./custom/modules/logic_hooks.php) or as a module reference (./custom/modules/<module>/logic_hooks.php).

    $hook_array['after_ui_frame'][] = Array(
        //Processing index. For sorting the array.
        1, 

        //Label. A string value to identify the hook.
        'after_ui_frame example', 

        //The PHP file where your class is located.
        'custom/modules/{module}/logic_hooks_class.php', 

        //The class the method is in.
        'logic_hooks_class', 

        //The method to call.
        'after_ui_frame_method' 
    );

?>

./custom/modules/<module>/logic_hooks_class.php

<?php

    if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

    class logic_hooks_class
