    Default Email Quick Create dropdown

    Hi there! Would anyone be able to tell me how I can change the dropdown for the Quickcreate in email? May I add custom modules too? Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi Monica

    You need to create an extended language for the application:
    custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/<your_lang>.lang.ext.php

    and add something like that

    PHP Code:
    $app_list_strings['parent_type_display']['FWK1_Departments'] = 'Departments';
    $app_list_strings['record_type_display']['FWK1_Departments'] = 'Departments';
    $app_list_strings['record_type_display_notes']['FWK1_Departments'] = 'Departments'
    Then go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions

    Cheers

    I made some progress on this issue. I went in and edited EmailUI.php to add the additional modules directly there. Lines 152 and 153. I replaced the existing Bugs, Cases, and Leads modules with Accounts, Meetings and Calls.

    $QCAvailibleModules = array();
    $QCModules = array('Accounts', 'Meetings', 'Tasks', 'Contacts', 'Calls');

    The additional modules are now added to the dropdown but the labels are blank.

    Any advice on how to get the labels for this particular dropdown?

    **SOLUTION** - wanted to share in case anyone else faces this.
    In addition to the above, I added to my custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/<your_lang>.lang.ext.php file:
    'LBL_EMAIL_QC_MEETINGS' => 'Meeting',

    Thanks!

    Hi Monica

    I had file a bug proposing a fix for that: 29521

    Using this patch you can add as modules as you want easily.
    Make sure you create an extended application language (custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language) containing the entries for the modules you add:

    $app_strings['LBL_EMAIL_QC_<MODULE>'] = '<Module Name>';

    I'm trying to interpret all the code in EmailUI.php but I can't find any solution for this:

    I want to hide the Quick Create button whenever the address e-mail from is already in the contacts list. The biggest problem is that I can't find which is the function which loads up every e-mail...

    I've tried to modify in: displayEmailFrame() but it seems it is only called one time, the first time we open the emails module
