SugarCRM- How to get POPUP when click on Save butt

I want when click Save in Edit View of some module (example Contact) to get pop up with some message (later I will get options OK and Cancel on that pop up.).

My function

YAHOO.SUGAR.MessageBox.show({msg: 'Foo'} );

is working when I put it at top of editviewdefs.php (I also must include cache/include/javascript/sugar_grp_yui_widgets.js) ) file and when opening that view I am getting that pop up. But I want it to popup on Save,not when opening EditView (this was just testing that showed me that YAHOO function is working). So I try to create seperate customJavascript.js file in custom/modules/Contacts:

    //<script type="text/javascript"
 src="cache/include/javascript/sugar_grp_yui_widgets.js"></script>
    function check_custom_data()
    {
    YAHOO.SUGAR.MessageBox.show({msg: 'Foo'} );

    }

I modified custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php

<?php
$module_name = 'Contacts';
$viewdefs ['Contacts'] = 
array (
  'EditView' => 
  array (
    'templateMeta' => 
    array (
      'form' => 
      array (
        'hidden' => 
        array (
          0 => '<input type="hidden" name="opportunity_id" value="{$smarty.request.opportunity_id}">',
          1 => '<input type="hidden" name="case_id" value="{$smarty.request.case_id}">',
          2 => '<input type="hidden" name="bug_id" value="{$smarty.request.bug_id}">',
          3 => '<input type="hidden" name="email_id" value="{$smarty.request.email_id}">',
          4 => '<input type="hidden" name="inbound_email_id" value="{$smarty.request.inbound_email_id}">',
        ),
      ),

      array(
         'buttons' =>
        array (
         0 =>
          array(
           'customCode' =>
            '<input title="Save [Alt+S]" accessKey="S" onclick="this.form.action.value=\'Save\'; return check_custom_data();" type="submit" name="button" value="'.$GLOBALS['app_strings']['LBL_SAVE_BUTTON_LABEL'].'">',
          ),
         1 =>'Cancel'
        )
      ),
        'includes'=> array(
   array('file'=>'custom/modules/Contacts/customJavascript.js'),
      ),
..........
.......

but when I click Save in EditView nothing happens but I want in that moment to get pop up with message (later I will add OK and Cancel options).

What am I doing wrong? thank you

Updated with code for pop up only with some condition:

....
     window.formToCheck = formname;

        var contactTypeField = document.getElementById('first_name');
        if (contactTypeField.value == 'Tori')
        {
        if (confirm("This dialog will pop-up whenever the user click on the Save button. "
                + "If you click OK, then you can execute some custom code, and then "
                + "execute the old form check function, which will process and submit "
                + "the form, using SugarCRM's standard behavior.")) {

            var customCodeVariable = 5;
            customCodeVariable = 55 + (customCodeVariable * 5);

            return window.old_check_form(formname);
        }

        return false;
        }

There are a number of ways to do things in SugarCRM, which makes it both very powerful and at times very difficult to customize - as there are so many different options available to you.

To make some kind of pop-up, or any custom log, happen upon clicking the "Save" button, I'd recommend the below solution rather than altering the editviewdefs.

The below solution does not require you modify any core SugarCRM files, so it is upgrade safe and can easily be installed on another instance.

What you will need to do is create a custom installable package, and install it into SugarCRM using the Module Loader.

This is the layout of the directory structure you will ultimately need to end up with:

SugarModuelPopUp
   ->custom
      ->include
         ->customPopUps
            ->custom_popup_js_include.php
            ->customPopUpContacts.js
   ->manifest.php

Create the SugarModuelPopUp folder, which will server as the root of this custom package.

Inside of SugarModuelPopUp, create a new PHP file with the name manifest.php. This file tells SugarCRM how to install the package.

In manifest.php, paste the following code:

<?php
$manifest = array(
        array(
                'acceptable_sugar_versions' => array()
        ),
        array(
                'acceptable_sugar_flavors' => array()
        ),
        'readme' => 'Please consult the operating manual for detailed installation instructions.',
        'key' => 'customSugarMod1',
        'author' => 'Kyle Lowry',
        'description' => 'Adds pop-up dialog on save on Contacts module.',
        'icon' => '',
        'is_uninstallable' => true,
        'name' => 'Pop-Up Dialog On Save',
        'published_date' => '2013-03-06 12:00:00',
        'type' => 'module',
        'version' => 'v1',
        'remove_tables' => 'prompt'
);

$installdefs = array(
        'id' => 'customSugarMod1',
        'copy' => array(
                array(
                        'from' => '<basepath>/custom/',
                        'to' => 'custom/'
                )
        ),
        'logic_hooks' => array(
                array(
                        'module' => 'Contacts',
                        'hook' => 'after_ui_frame',
                        'order' => 1,
                        'description' => 'Creates pop-up dialog on save action.',
                        'file' => 'custom/include/customPopUps/custom_popup_js_include.php',
                        'class' => 'CustomPopJs',
                        'function' => 'getContactJs'
                )
        )
);

Next, you will want to make the custom folder. Inside of that, create the include folder. Inside of that, create the customPopUps folder.

Next, you will want to create the custom_popup_js_include.php file. This file controls when and where your custom JavaScript gets included on the page. Paste in the below code:

<?php
// prevent people from accessing this file directly
if (! defined('sugarEntry') || ! sugarEntry) {
    die('Not a valid entry point.');
}
class CustomPopJs {
    function getContactJs($event, $arguments) {
        // Prevent this script from being injected anywhere but the EditView.
        if ($_REQUEST['action'] != 'EditView') {
            // we are not in the EditView, so simply return without injecting
            // the Javascript
            return;
        }
        echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="custom/include/customPopUps/customPopUpContacts.js"></script>';
    }
}

Next you will need to create the customPopUpContacts.js file, which will create the custom pop-up upon clicking the Save button in the Contacts module EditView. Paste in the below code:

function override_check_form() {
    // store a reference to the old form checking function
    window.old_check_form = window.check_form;
    // set the form checking function equal to something custom
    window.check_form = function(formname) {
        window.formToCheck = formname;
        // you can create the dialog however you wish, but for simplicity I am
        // just using standard javascript functions
        if (confirm("This dialog will pop-up whenever the user click on the Save button. "
                + "If you click OK, then you can execute some custom code, and then "
                + "execute the old form check function, which will process and submit "
                + "the form, using SugarCRM's standard behavior.")) {
            // you have clicked OK, so do some custom code here,
            // replace this code with whatever you really want to do.
            var customCodeVariable = 5;
            customCodeVariable = 55 + (customCodeVariable * 5);
            // now that your custom code has executed, you can let
            // SugarCRM take control, process the form, and submit
            return window.old_check_form(formname);
        }
        // the user clicked on Cancel, so you can either just return false
        // and leave the person on the form, or you can execute some custom
        // code or do whatever else you want.
        return false;
    }
}

// call the override function, which will replace the old form checker
// with something custom
override_check_form();

Once you have created the above directory structure, and the files in the correct folders, you can create a ZIP file of the project. It is important to note that for SugarCRM installable packages, your ZIP file must contain everything in the project directory. That is, you will not be zipping up the SugarModuelPopUp folder, but rather everything inside of it.

Next, you will want to install the custom package using SugarCRM's module loader. You can do this by:

Go to the SugarCRM Admin page.
Click on "Module Loader".
Click on "Browse" and select the ZIP package.
Click on the "Upload" button.
Once the package is uploaded, find its entry in the list of installable packages, and click on "Install"; proceeding with the standard SugarCRM installation process.

With this custom package installed, whenever you click on the "Save" button in the Contacts module EditView, a dialog will pop-up. You can replace the dialog code with anything you want, so as log as you don't modify the code framing it.

Further, you should be able to use this project as a foundation for future function additions to SugarCRM EditViews. Any module which uses the check_form method upon clicking of the "Save" button can have this kind of custom logic executed.

To do so for Accounts, for example, you would do the following:

Add an entry to the logic_hooks array element in manifest.php for Accounts.

'logic_hooks' => array(
                array(
                        'module' => 'Contacts',
                        'hook' => 'after_ui_frame',
                        'order' => 1,
                        'description' => 'Creates pop-up dialog on save action.',
                        'file' => 'custom/include/customPopUps/custom_popup_js_include.php',
                        'class' => 'CustomPopJs',
                        'function' => 'getContactJs'
                ),
                array(
                        'module' => 'Accounts',
                        'hook' => 'after_ui_frame',
                        'order' => 1,
                        'description' => 'Creates pop-up dialog on save action.',
                        'file' => 'custom/include/customPopUps/custom_popup_js_include.php',
                        'class' => 'CustomPopJs',
                        'function' => 'getAccountJs'
                )
        )

Add a new method to the CustomPopJs in the custom_popup_js_include.php file for the Accounts JavaScript.

function getAccountJs($event, $arguments) {
        // Prevent this script from being injected anywhere but the EditView.
        if ($_REQUEST['action'] != 'EditView') {
            // we are not in the EditView, so simply return without injecting
            // the Javascript
            return;
        }
        echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="custom/include/customPopUps/customPopUpAccounts.js"></script>';
    }

Create the customPopUpAccounts.js file, and use the customPopUpContacts.js code as a base for the functionality you want.

There are other ways of accomplishing your goal in SugarCRM, but this is the one I use personally, and it has the benefit of being upgrade safe and easily migratable to other SugarCRM instances.

I have SugarCRM CE 6.5 and this method didn't work to me (I mean creating the new module). However, I modified the logic_hook and put the files directly in custom/include folder and it works!
