Changing tab colors for modules

[enrikm]

Good afternoon all,

What part of the code should I tweak if I want to change the tab colors of the modules? For example, accounts will be blue, contacts will be red, leads will be yellow and so on. This should make the life of users much easier as instead of saying "click on the accounts module", we just say, "click on the blue tab".

Thanks for your help!

Hi enrikm!

It's really interesting question.

So you have to update the file /modules/themes/Sugar/header.php

there is code

foreach($preListHeader as $module_name)
{
$color = "";

if ($module_name == "Home") $color = "blue";
if ($module_name == "Contacts") $color = "red";
if ($module_name == "Accounts") $color = "#ffbbaa";
if (!is_array($module_name)) {
$xtpl->assign("MODULE_NAME", $app_list_strings['moduleList'][$module_name]);
$xtpl->assign("MODULE_KEY", $module_name);


if($module_name == $currentModule && ($module_name != 'iFrames' || empty($_REQUEST['record'])|| (!empty($_REQUEST['tab']) && $_REQUEST['tab']=='false')))
{
$tabClass = "currentTab";
$otherTab = "currentTab";
$xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "currentTab");
$xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
}
else
{
$tabClass = "otherTab";
$otherTab = "currentTab";
$xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "otherTab");
$xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
}
$xtpl->assign("LINK", '<span style="background-color:'.$color.';"><a class="'.$tabClass.'Link" href="index.php?module='.$module_name.'&action=ind ex">'.$app_list_strings['moduleList'][$module_name].'</A></span>');
} else {

$xtpl->assign("MODULE_NAME", $module_name[4]);
$xtpl->assign("MODULE_KEY", $module_name[3]);


if($module_name[3] == $currentModule && (!empty($_REQUEST['record']) and $_REQUEST['record']==$module_name[0] and !empty($_REQUEST['tab'])))
{
$tabClass = "currentTab";
$otherTab = "currentTab";
$xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "currentTab");
$xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
}
else
{
$tabClass = "otherTab";
$otherTab = "currentTab";
$xtpl->assign("TAB_CLASS", "otherTab");
$xtpl->assign("OTHER_TAB", "currentTab");
}
$xtpl->assign("LINK", '<a class="'.$tabClass.'Link" href="index.php?module='.$module_name[3].'&action=index&record='.$module_name[0].'&tab='.$module_name[2].'">'.$module_name[4].'</A>');

}

if ($i==$max_tabs-1 and $numb_tabs>$max_tabs) {
$xtpl->assign("MORE_HANDLE_CLASS", 'otherTab');
$xtpl->parse("main.moreHandle");
}
$xtpl->parse("main.module_tab");
$i++;
}


you can find the code i've just added as bold.

Can anyone provide an update for this for Sugar 6.1? We need the same functionality.
