Adding a Field to the Modules Subpanels „ Popup Search “ definitions
Code way:
1.      Use metadata/popupdefs.php (custom folder, if there is none copy original)
2.      Seek section searchdefs'   => array(…)
3.      Add field to searchdefs
Or Studio way:
Admin > Studio > Contacts > Layouts > PopupView > Popup Search
Subpanel Query Change with custom fields
1.      Open subpanel def
2.      Use ‘where’ clause
3.      Query mysql like “contacts.id in ( select id_c from contacts_cstm where contact_roles_c ='past' )”
If this fails remember this:
Sugar will make a mess of your subquery. There’s an easy solution. Sugar handles query rewriting based on the strings “where” or “WHERE”. So, all you need to do is write your “WHERE” in mixed case, like so:
"where" = "id in (select id from some_table WhErE field='xyz')"

Create Custom Action
1.      create a file in custom/modules/{MODULE}/ called "controller.php".
Here is an example of a custom controller.php
2.      <?php
3.     
4.      class CustomContactsController extends SugarController
5.      {
6.          public function action_MyActionName()
7.          {
8.              $record = $_REQUEST['record'];
9.              //do something with the record here
10.                    
11.         }
12.     }

PHP Code:
function preDisplay()
{
    parent::preDisplay();
    $this->ev->tpl = 'yourtplfile.tpl';
}  
Alternate Subpanel layout
1.      Create subpanel LAyout File in modules/subpanels/metadata For instance "ForEvents";
2.      Then go to module Layout definition:
3.      //custom Ext Layoutdefs layoutdefs.ext.php
4.      Change Subpanel name to your PanelDefinitionfilename for instance "ForEvents"
Dynamic number of items in Subpanel
1.      https://github.com/sugarcrm/sugarcrm_dev/pull/141/files
2.      + next if clause find -> $limit = $sugarconfig….records per page Replace with:
3.      PHP Code:
 
if ($subpanel_def->_instance_properties['records_per_page']) {          
                $limit = $subpanel_def->_instance_properties['records_per_page'] + 0;          
             } else {
       
                $limit   = $sugar_config['list_max_entries_per_subpanel'];
            }
