=head1 NAME

FS::part_referral - Object methods for part_referral objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use FS::part_referral;

  $record = new FS::part_referral \%hash
  $record = new FS::part_referral { 'column' => 'value' };

  $error = $record->insert;

  $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

  $error = $record->delete;

  $error = $record->check;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An FS::part_referral represents a advertising source - where a customer heard
of your services.  This can be used to track the effectiveness of a particular
piece of advertising, for example.  FS::part_referral inherits from FS::Record.
The following fields are currently supported:

=over 4

=item refnum - primary key (assigned automatically for new referrals)

=item referral - Text name of this advertising source

=item disabled - Disabled flag, empty or 'Y'

=back

=head1 NOTE

These were called B<referrals> before version 1.4.0 - the name was changed
so as not to be confused with the new customer-to-customer referrals.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new HASHREF

Creates a new advertising source.  To add the referral to the database, see
L<"insert">.

=cut

sub table { 'part_referral'; }

=item insert

Adds this advertising source to the database.  If there is an error, returns
the error, otherwise returns false.

=item delete

Currently unimplemented.

=cut

sub delete {
  my $self = shift;
  return "Can't (yet?) delete part_referral records";
  #need to make sure no customers have this referral!
}

=item replace OLD_RECORD

Replaces OLD_RECORD with this one in the database.  If there is an error,
returns the error, otherwise returns false.

=item check

Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid advertising source.  If there is
an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.  Called by the insert and
replace methods.

=cut

sub check {
  my $self = shift;

  my $error = $self->ut_numbern('refnum')
    || $self->ut_text('referral')
  ;
  return $error if $error;

  if ( $self->dbdef_table->column('disabled') ) {
    $error = $self->ut_enum('disabled', [ '', 'Y' ] );
    return $error if $error;
  }

  $self->SUPER::check;
}

=back

=head1 BUGS

The delete method is unimplemented.

`Advertising source'.  Yes, it's a sucky name.  The only other ones I could
come up with were "Marketing channel" and "Heard Abouts" and those are
definately both worse.
