How are user preferences for Tabs stored?

[jollyguy77]

Hi,

I am new to SugarCRM and we are using Open source. I would like to know the following

1) How are user's preferences for Displaying stored? and where are they stored?
2) How does the tabs are displayed? Is there a common code where it will check for user's preferences and then get displayed accordingly? For example.. i may want to Hide "Lead" for all the users except for some users... How to go about it.

Please help me out..

Thanks in advance..

To enable only a specific set of users to access some tabs you need to create some Roles and disable/enable access to these modules. Add some users under these Roles.
The order of tabs to be displayed is stored into table config:
name: MySettings
category: tabs

Hi,

Where can i find the above table config?. While creating a roles i am not able to see the "My Portal". I want to disable the "My Portal" for non-admin users. Once i disable it, when i click on a User Portal, it is showing the error as "Warning: You do not have permission to access this module.". Once i enable the "My portal" for non-admin users, then there is no error message and the User Portal can be viewn. I have declared the User portal as Global. Is there a way to overcome this... That is why i thought while getting the list of modules name to be displayed, i can check if the user is admin or not. if it is not then hide the "My Portal" in the Tabs list.. but show the rest of the tabs.. Can u please help me out?

Thanks...

Hi,

I have solved my problem by not showing "My Portal" for Non-admin users and still show the Portals that has been added.. I did it by changing in the themes\sugar\header.php. since i am using only 1 theme.(LINE NO: 519 or so..Search for the '$preListHeader as $module_name')

OLD CODE:

foreach($preListHeader as $module_name)
    {
            if (!is_array($module_name)) {
            $xtpl->assign("MODULE_NAME", $app_list_strings['moduleList'][$module_name]);
            $xtpl->assign("MODULE_KEY", $module_name);


            if($module_name == $currentModule && ($module_name != 'iFrames' || empty($_REQUEST['record'])|| (!empty($_REQUEST['tab']) && $_REQUEST['tab']=='false')))
            {
                $tabClass = "currentTab";
                $otherTab = "currentTab";
                $xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "currentTab");
                $xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
            }
            else
            {
                $tabClass = "otherTab";
                $otherTab = "currentTab";
                $xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "otherTab");
                $xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
            }
            $xtpl->assign("LINK", '<a   class="'.$tabClass.'Link"  href="index.php?module='.$module_name.'&action=index">'.$app_list_strings['moduleList'][$module_name].'</A>');
            } else {

            $xtpl->assign("MODULE_NAME", $module_name[4]);
            $xtpl->assign("MODULE_KEY", $module_name[3]);


            if($module_name[3] == $currentModule && (!empty($_REQUEST['record']) and $_REQUEST['record']==$module_name[0] and !empty($_REQUEST['tab'])))
            {
                $tabClass = "currentTab";
                $otherTab = "currentTab";
                $xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "currentTab");
                $xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
            }
            else
            {
                $tabClass = "otherTab";
                $otherTab = "currentTab";
                $xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "otherTab");
                $xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
            }
            $xtpl->assign("LINK", '<a   class="'.$tabClass.'Link"  href="index.php?module='.$module_name[3].'&action=index&record='.$module_name[0].'&tab='.$module_name[2].'">'.$module_name[4].'</A>');

            }

            if ($i==$max_tabs-1 and $numb_tabs>$max_tabs) {
                //$xtpl->assign("MORE", "<img src='".$image_path."more.gif' alt='' align='absmiddle' id='MoreHandle' style=' margin-left:2px; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;' align='absmiddle' onmouseover='tbButtonMouseOver(this.id,\"\",\"\",0);'>");
                $xtpl->assign("MORE_HANDLE_CLASS", 'otherTab');
                $xtpl->parse("main.moreHandle");
            }
            $xtpl->parse("main.module_tab");
        $i++;
    }

                //$xtpl->assign("MORE", "<img src='".$image_path."more.gif' alt='' align='absmiddle' id='MoreHandle' style=' margin-left:2px; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;' align='absmiddle' onmouseover='tbButtonMouseOver(this.id,\"\",\"\",0);'>");
                $xtpl->assign("MORE_HANDLE_CLASS", 'otherTab');
                $xtpl->parse("main.moreHandle");
            }
            $xtpl->parse("main.module_tab");
        $i++;
    }

in the style.css added the following style

.PortalTab {
        display:none;
        }
.PortalTabRight , .PortalTabLeft, .PortalTab {
        display:none;
        }

By using the above code i was able to hide "my Portal" and also at the same time show the Portals for all the users.
