Blank shortcuts after customization

[WEB11]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to customize my shortcuts doing the following:

1- Edit the modules/<module name>/Menu.php file.
2- Add the new LNK labels to the modules/<module name>/language/en_us.lang.php file
3- Admin>Repair>Quick Repair & Rebuild.

I know its not upgrade safe but it doesn't have to be as I don't plan to upgrade once I get this setup the way I want. The problem is that I get blank shortcuts, they actually work when I click them but no label shows up.

I am attaching a screenshot of my home shortcuts where meetings, tasks and notescome up blank.

Any ideas why?

I just tried doing it using the upgrade safe instructions mentioned on on this thread but it results on the exact same problem.

Are you absolutely sure the LNK_ labels are exact,y the same in both the Menu and language files?
Have you tried forcing a refresh in the browser (Ctl+R in FF, Ctl+F5 in IE)?

Can you post the code of your Menu.php and lang file here for us to look at?

Mvngti thanks for the reply. I think I did it correctly but it seems that the Home Tab and a few other tabs are reading the labels from a different language file other than the one contained in modules/MODULE/language/.

In any case here is the code:

modules/home/Menu.php

<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point'); 

global $mod_strings;

if(ACLController::checkAccess('Contacts', 'edit', true))$module_menu[] = Array("index.php?module=Contacts&action=EditView&return_module=Contacts&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_NEW_CONTACT'],"CreateContacts", 'Contacts');
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Accounts', 'edit', true))$module_menu[] = Array("index.php?module=Accounts&action=EditView&return_module=Accounts&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_NEW_ACCOUNT'],"CreateAccounts", 'Accounts');
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Meetings', 'edit', true))$module_menu[] = Array("index.php?module=Meetings&action=EditView&return_module=Meetings&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_NEW_MEETING'],"CreateMeetings", 'Meetings');
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Tasks', 'edit', true))$module_menu[] = Array("index.php?module=Tasks&action=EditView&return_module=Tasks&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_NEW_TASK'],"CreateTasks", 'Tasks');
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Emails', 'edit', true))$module_menu[] =Array("index.php?module=Emails&action=Compose", $mod_strings['LNK_COMPOSE_EMAIL'],"CreateEmails", 'Emails');
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Notes', 'edit', true))$module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Notes&action=EditView&return_module=Notes&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_NEW_NOTE'],"CreateNotes");
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Meetings', 'list', true))$module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Meetings&action=index&return_module=Meetings&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_MEETING_LIST'],"Meetings");
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Tasks', 'list', true))$module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Tasks&action=index&return_module=Tasks&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_TASK_LIST'],"Tasks");
if(ACLController::checkAccess('Notes', 'list', true))$module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=Notes&action=index&return_module=Notes&return_action=DetailView", $mod_strings['LNK_NOTE_LIST'],"Notes");
