SugarCRM - Generating custom error popup from logic hook

gistfile1.txt

Create a custom view to load popup widget js

custom/modules/{module}/views/view.detail.php

<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
require_once('include/json_config.php');
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.detail.php');

class po_purchaseOrdersViewDetail extends ViewDetail {

    function po_purchaseOrdersViewDetail()
    {
        parent::ViewDetail();
    }

    function display(){
        $javascript= "<script type='text/javascript' src='cache/include/javascript/sugar_grp_yui_widgets.js'></script>";
        parent::display();
        echo $javascript;
    }
}
?>



If the condition is not met, throw new error in popup box. On clicking "OK", reload the page to view data again.
Without the reload, calling sugar_die will alter the original page.
