Hi,
I've been looking at enhancing custom views using variables. For example, allowing a view called "My Leads" in leads in which the "Assigned To" field can be set to a variable called CURRENTUSER, and anyone who chooses this custom view will see the leads belonging only to him or her.
I notice that this blog post Customizing vTiger custom views with dynamic “variables” - II is what I need.
However, it appears that the variable sometimes works and sometimes does not.  Does anyone know why it seems to work sometimes and not at other times?
Thanks,
SRS

Hi sumanrs,
$current_user is set in index.php. If it is being used in anyother files, preferably it should be declared first as
| Code: | | global $current_user |

Hi Prasad,
Thanks a lot - I was indeed using that, but that didn't work using the "hack" I was using for the Custom Views.
I found out the reason - the SQL being generated for the username is actually being taken from the function getRealValues() in the same file (/modules/CustomView/CustomView.php), so I made one additional change to get the current user variable to work (changes inbetween comments that say HACK):
| Code: |
function getRealValues($tablename,$fieldname,$comparator,$value,$datatype)
{
if($fieldname == "smownerid" || $fieldname == "inventorymanager")
{
/* HACK - to get current user */
global $current_user;
if ($value == "CURRENTUSER")
$value = $current_user->user_name;
/* End HACK */
$value = $tablename.".".$fieldname.$this->getAdvComparator($comparator,getUserId_Ol($value),$datatype);
}else if($fieldname == "parentid")
