need help: removing standart fields from massupdate

[smoothumut]

Hi all,
can anybody help me on how to remove uncustomizable fields from massupdate layout please in sugar 5.5?
thanks for now
regards

You cannot achieve this for standard sugar fields using studio. you would have to amend the vardef file for the modules that you wish to change the mass update panel for.

Create the folders and file, if don´t exist:
custom/Extension/modules/<ModuleName>/Ext/Vardefs/somescript.php

 <?PHP
$dictionary['<BeanName>']['fields']['<FieldName>']['massupdate'] = false;
?>  

Obviously go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions

Thanks for the very clear answer Andopes,

I have the same problem and try the code:

<?PHP
$dictionary['Contacts']['fields']['lead_source']['massupdate'] = false;
$dictionary['Contacts']['fields']['reports_to']['massupdate'] = false;
$dictionary['Contacts']['fields']['sync_contact']['massupdate'] = false;
?>

Hovewer, after try repair the follows errors appear:

Executing repair query: Query Failed:ALTER TABLE contacts add column NULL ,
add column NULL::MySQL error 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'NULL ,add column NULL' at line 1

Any help?

Bean name is the class of the module. For example the LucioFiamingo code.
He tried to setup $dictionary['Contacts'].
Actually Contacts is the name of the module, Contact is the name of the bean (BeanName).

To make sure what is the bean name take a look at default vardefs of the module you are going to customize.

Dear Andopes,

I change the code as you suggest:
<?PHP
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['lead_source']['massupdate'] = false;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['reports_to']['massupdate'] = false;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['sync_contact']['massupdate'] = false;
?>


but still have problems with DB update:

Executing repair query: Query Failed:ALTER TABLE contacts add column NULL ,add column NULL::MySQL error 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'NULL ,add column NULL' at line 1

What do you suggest to do?

Thanks

I fix the problem : report_to doesn't exist, I set report_to_link instead. Now no errors are swown, however the code has no action...
Any help?
