Changing Shortcuts of standard SugarCRM module using Module Builder!!

[Shailendu]

Hi all,

For some requirements I had in one of the projects, I was trying to add a new shortcut to "Cases" module of SugarCRM.
By default Cases module has "Create Case" and "Cases" as the two shortcuts". I wanted to add two more shortcuts (lets say "Create Urgent Case" and "View Urgent Case" with their own saperate layout.

The admin guide of module builder has the following in it - ( but I wasnt able to figure out how to go about doing this)

"Besides the two standard shortcuts for new item creation and items list, Module Builder can define shortcuts for
any module/view available on the system (native or added via Module Loader)"

If anyone know how the above can be done, please let me know....

Thanks a lot for your help in advance

Cheers,
Shailendu

Hi you,

Menu shortcuts for modules are easy to implement.. There is a ./modules/MODULE_NAME/Menu.php in
all applicable modules. Shorcuts are generated via:
$module_menu[]=Array("URLLINK", "SHORTCUTTEXT", "IMAGEFILENAME");

• URLLINK - the link that the shortcut points to
• SHORTCUTTEXT - the text that displays in the menu
• IMAGEFILENAME - the filename in the themes image directory

Note: A .gif extension is required for the image file and assumed in the definition


Good luck to you.

Hi Shailendu

You can create the file custom/Extension/modules/<ModuleName>/Ext/Menus/menu.ext.php
Add into this file something like that:

 global $module_menu;
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Accounts', 'list', true)) {
    $module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Accounts&action=<ViewForAccount1>", $mod_strings['LBL_LABEL_FOR_VIEW_FOR_ACCOUNT1'], "");
}
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Accounts', 'list', true)) {
    $module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Accounts&action=<ViewForAccount2>", $mod_strings['LBL_LABEL_FOR_VIEW_FOR_ACCOUNT2'], "");
} 
  

Modify accordingly to your needs.
Go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extension

I did this for the calendar module, but it's not picking the string from $mod_strings ...

My code in custom/modules/calendar/ext/menus is
<?php

global $mod_strings, $app_strings, $sugar_config, $module_menu ;
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Opportunities','edi t',true)){
$module_menu[]= Array("index.php?module=Opportunities&action=EditV iew&return_module=Opportunities&return_action=Deta ilView", $mod_strings['LNK_NEW_OPPORTUNITY'],"CreateOpportunities");
}

?>

I copied this from another shortcuts menu that has the shortcut to New Opportunity...

Can you help me?
Thanks
