Hide Home Tab

[gerald29]

Hello,

I am trying to hide the Home tab from some users (or all users). I have tried hiding the tab globaly and removing it from a user, neither of which works.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Gerald S.

Hello Gerald,

I believe this is because the Sugar config.php file has the 'default_module' directive set to 'Home.' Try editing your config.php file to change 'default_module' to some other module name, then remove the tab again.

Thank you Julian,

I made the following changes to config_override.php. However this does not let me remove the home page. Am I doing it correctly?

/***CONFIGURATOR***/$sugar_config['lock_homepage'] = false;
/***CONFIGURATOR***/$sugar_config['default_module'] = 'Documents';

Regards
Gerald

vi ./modules/MySettings/TabController.php

comment out
//$tabs['Home'] = 'Home';
inside if (!empty($trimmed_tabs)){} logic and you should be able to hide the Home tab

I tried this in 5.2.k and it had no effect

How can I hide the Home tab from a user?

[tolungng]

./config.php:158:change default_module->Activities
./modules/Users/Authenticate.php:66:change Home->Activities
./modules/Users/SaveTimezone.php:51:change Home->Activities
./modules/MySettings/TabController.php:81:change Home->Activities

Then Configure Tabs to remove Home. This should prevent user from accessing Home page (unless the user explicitly types index.php?module=Home in the URL).

Tested on 5.2.0k and 5.5.0
