Global Links

[lmiller]

I uploaded the file globalControlLinks.php to the directory, /public_html/custom/include
The contents of the file are this

<?php
 
$sub_menu['googledocs']['weeklymaintenance'] = array(
translate('LBL_Monthky_Maintenance', 'Sync')=>'http://spreadsheets1.google.com/ccc?key=tdbEvuB1eC3f08XPbToZiww&hl=en#gid=0');
$sub_menu['googledocs']['onetimecontact'] = array(
translate('LBL_One_Time_Contact', 'Sync')=>'http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ai-cwXRw6xNKdFhLbkllWTQtaHR3OXVpUzhjaFEzckE&hl=en#gid=0');
 
$global_control_links['googledocs'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_Google_Docs'] => '#'),
'submenu' => $sub_menu['googledocs']
);

Is this done correctly? And if it is, where do I prompt sugar to load my customization?

Hi lmiller,

In versions < 5.5 this is a core hack in /include/globalControlLinks.php.
There you must edit this file directly.

Since version 5.5 you can customize the global control links by writing an own /custom/include/globalControlLinks.php which is called at the end of /include/globalControlLinks.php.

So you could solve your problem by writing a /custom/include/globalControlLinks.php with your code applied as above

Hope this helps you.

Best Regards,
Nilesh Dave

Version 5.2.0k (Build 5837)

I edited the file directly, but all it did was make an arrow, that when clicked on, opens up a menu, a pretty long distance away from where you click it, so you can't ever click the links. How do you properly edit the global links in 5.2?

Here, a few more details,

This is the code that I added to the file that is above mentioned, as a direct edit to Sugar's Global links

if(!isset($global_control_links)){
 	$global_control_links = array();
	$sub_menu = array();
 }
if(isset( $sugar_config['disc_client']) && $sugar_config['disc_client']){
	require_once('modules/Sync/headermenu.php');
}
$global_control_links['myaccount'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_MY_ACCOUNT'] => 'index.php?module=Users&action=DetailView&record='.$current_user->id.''),
'submenu' => ''
 );
$global_control_links['employees'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_EMPLOYEES']=> 'index.php?module=Employees&action=index'),
'submenu' => ''
);
if (
        is_admin($current_user)



        
        ) $global_control_links['admin'] = array(
        
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_ADMIN'] => 'index.php?module=Administration&action=index'),
'submenu' => ''
);
$global_control_links['training'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_TRAINING'] => 'index.php?module=Home&action=TrainingPortal'),
'submenu' => ''
 );
$global_control_links['users'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_LOGOUT'] => 'index.php?module=Users&action=Logout'),
'submenu' => ''
);
$global_control_links['about'] = array('linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LNK_ABOUT'] => 'index.php?module=Home&action=About'),
'submenu' => ''
);
$global_control_links['monthlymaintenance'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_MONTHLY_MAINTENANCE'] => 'http://spreadsheets1.google.com/ccc?key=tdbEvuB1eC3f08XPbToZiww&hl=en#gid=0'),
'submenu' => ''
 );
 ?>

The last link is the one that I added, and when I upload the file, I get a new break in the Global links, where it now reads

Welcome, Lane [ Logout ] My Account|Employees|Admin|Training|About|

With the new | at the end, but there is no link there. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong? Without previously doing this, I mimicked one of the default global links, and input my own info, so I'd like to know where I'm messing this up.

Thanks for the help
