How to Enable Inline Editing in 7.3 Step by Step

SuiteCRM Forum - English Language SuiteCRM General Discussion

There seem to be a TON of threads popping up with people having issues getting the Inline Editing to work. I’m going to attempt to be helpful by writing a step by step guide… Hopefully this will be beneficial. Fair warning in advance… I’m just another user trying to run a small business. I can’t help you troubleshoot. :slight_smile:

Step 1: Edit your config.php file. You need to add the following lines:

  'enable_line_editing_list' => true,
  'enable_line_editing_detail' => true,

Here’s how my config.php looks:

Step 2: Clear your browser cache! Obliterate everything from the beginning of time! This solves 99% of the problem.s

Step 3: Log back into Suite. Go to Admin -> System Settings

Step 4: Uncheck the following checkboxes and save changes.

Step 5: Go to Admin -> Repair

Step 6: Select “Quick Repair and Rebuild”. Let it do its thing…

Step 7: Return to Admin -> System Settings

Step 8: Re-Check these checkboxes and save…

Step 9: Go back to Admin -> Repair

Step 10: Do another “Quick Repair and Rebuild”. Let it do its thing again…

Step 11: Obliterate your browser cache once again for good measure…

Step 12: Go to a contact… You should be able to edit a field by either double clicking on it or clicking on the pencil that appears to the right.

:slight_smile: It seems suitecrm lose ‘enable_line_editing_list’ => true, ‘enable_line_editing_detail’ => true,. Thank you very much for help!!!

Another little issue is --inline editing response a little slow. How to fix it? I am working on openshift small gear.

Awesome guide but I get database failure error, when editing in cases module. With other modules no problem. Here is the log:

‘contact_created_by_id’ field seems to be a problem. this is not contacts but cases. fix anyone?

Wish I could help you there… I don’t use the cases module and am not familiar enough with the Suite code base to help. :\

Thanx a lot for guide.

However, after modyfying a value, after hitting enter (triggering updating?) I get an error:

Warning: Missing argument 5 for formatDisplayValue(), called in /home/swzycie/domains/crm.swiadomezycie.eu/public_html/include/InlineEditing/InlineEditing.php on line 332 and defined in /home/swzycie/domains/crm.swiadomezycie.eu/public_html/include/InlineEditing/InlineEditing.php on line 337
98

However, the filed is updated corretly after refreshing

Do you by any chance have any hints?

thanx in advance!

Thanks for your help.

Great work Matthew! I’ve asked offline for the correct channel to start adding content to the SuiteCRM wiki, so hopefully we’ll soon have a way of making community documentation contributions like this.

Cheers,
Dave
