Changing layout

[amni]

HI Ppl,
I a new user to Sugar community edition. I need to know if we can change the layout of Sugar pages. basically i want to remove the header (the one that has logo and welcome, employees etc).
Is that possible, if yes, is there any developer guide or links where it is explained.

thanks....

You can change the appearance of Sugar in two ways:

1. You can change an existing theme or create your own theme. CSS gives you many options to change the look of the pages.
2. You could change the code of Sugar itself.

The first one is what I'd recommend. It needs lesser knowledge of the internal stuff of Sugar and upgrades will be easier to manage.
For a start you could read the Developer's guide (for 1. especially chapter "Themes") which you could find here: Sugar Community Edition Documentation | Open Source Business & Social CRM - SugarCRM.

If you go to the second suggestion, the file include/MVC/view/SugarView.php contains some functions which you can customize to change sugar layout of header and footer.

Thanks for the response.

I have to remove the header, so I believe option 2 is what i needed.


thanks.

With solution 1) you can remove the header by adding the following style definition to themes/Sugar5/css/style.css (assuming you are using the default theme):

 #header {
   display: none;
} 
  

(tested with Sugar 620 CE)
If you copy the file to custom/themes/Sugar5/css it should be upgrade safe.

I know you're inquiring about the header, but as people are also mentioning the footer here, note that there are legal issues associated with removing the "Powered by SugarCRM" image at the bottom of the page.
