Help editing Email List Layout

[Webguardian]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to edit the "My Inbox" list in the email module. Basically what I want to do is edit the width of some of the columns, delete a couple of columns and then rearrange them in a different order. I tried playing around with the Studio function in the admin section but I'm still not getting anywhere. I've read the user/admin guide but didn’t see what I was looking for. Had anyone put out a guide that may explain how to do this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Ed

Hi Ed,
Unfortunately it is out of the Studio functionality. You need to edit modules\Emails\ListViewHome.php and modules\Emails\ListViewMyInbox.html manually.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try editing those files.

Hello Uchida-san,

I would like to also edit the "My Sent Emails" submenu in the "Sent Emails" area. Can you tell me what file to edit for that? I tried to edit the ListViewSent.html but that didnt seem to work.

Thanks!

Ed

Hi,

The html file is modules\Emails\ListViewSent.html. The ListView.php file sends all of fields to this html when the records has a type of 'out' (sent email).

Good luck!

I had edited that html and only had these columns in the code...

<tr height="20">
<td scope="col" width="1%" class="listViewThS1" NOWRAP>{CHECKALL}</td>
<td scope="col" width="10%" class="listViewThS1" NOWRAP><slot><a href="{ORDER_BY}to_addrs" class="listViewThLinkS1">{MOD.LBL_LIST_TO_ADDR}{ar row_start}{to_addr_arrow}{arrow_end}</a></slot></td>
<td scope="col" width="40%" class="listViewThS1" NOWRAP><slot><a href="{ORDER_BY}name" class="listViewThLinkS1">{MOD.LBL_LIST_SUBJECT}{ar row_start}{name_arrow}{arrow_end}</a></slot></td>
<td scope="col" width="30%" class="listViewThS1" NOWRAP>&nbsp;</td>
<td scope="col" width="10%" class="listViewThS1" NOWRAP><slot><a href="{ORDER_BY}date_sent" class="listViewThLinkS1">{MOD.LBL_LIST_DATE}{arrow _start}{date_sent_arrow}{arrow_end}</a></slot></td>
</tr>

However, after uploading the changed html file I still see this order...



Any ideas? Thanks

Ed,

Try Emails\ListView.html instead. But the change may also affect other list views.

Uchida-san,

That worked perfectly. THANKS!!! My clients are very happy with SugarCRM thus far.

I have one last issue if you or someone can help with... In the same "Sent" list, the "contact" column which should be showing the email address of the person the email was sent to is only showing the email address of the sender. Below is a screen shot. Do you know how I can fix this? I looked at the /modules/Emails/ListViewMyInbox.html and the "contact" column information is the same. In My Inbox the contact column does show the email address of the person sending the email to my client in SugarCRM.

Thanks.

Ed

Hi Ed,

This seems to be an issue, if any, in a very deep layer of SugarCRM. When you compose an email, if you select a contact name from a select pop-up window, the "to" address is filled with the contact's name when the sent email is saved, but if you type in an email address manually, the "to" address gets blank and it displays a from address instead in the listview.

How do you fill out "to" addresses?

I will look into this further anyway.
