Removing buttons from Activities Sub Panel

[Steve435]

In the Accounts module there is a sub panel for Activities and I want to remove the "Create Task" and "Schedule Meeting" buttons but can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You need to create an extended Layoutdefs for Accounts:
custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php

Add a code to unset the buttons for the subpanel activities.

 <?PHP
$buttons_to_remove = array('SubPanelTopCreateTaskButton', 'SubPanelTopScheduleMeetingButton');
 
foreach($layout_defs['Accounts']['subpanel_setup']['activities']['top_buttons'] as $id => $button_def) {
  if(in_array($button_def['widget_class'], $buttons_to_remove)) {
    unset($layout_defs['Accounts']['subpanel_setup']['activities']['top_buttons'][$id]);
  }
}
?>  

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions

Hello Andopes,

I followed your advise and it worked only before I did repair. After repair of extensions the code despaired . Maybe you know of another good place to put it so it will stay.

Thanks a lot for your very helpful post

I believe you saved the code into custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php instead of custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php.
Figure it out and let us know.
