How to hide default fields from Mass update

[itx]

Hi guys,

I stumbled across a few solutions for my problem, but I could understand none of them and the posts were to old for me to reply.

How can I hide mass update fields for default fields ? I could make my custom field show up by checking the "mass update" box, but I can't figure out how to hide the default ones.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Alex

If fields is not custom.

../modules/<MODULE NAME>/vardefs.php

1. Change 'massupdate' to false.

 ...
  'field' =>
  array (
    'name' => 'field',
    'type' => 'date',
    'source'=>'non-db',
    'vname' => 'LBL_FIELD',
    'duplicate_merge'=> 'disabled',
    'massupdate' => false,                  // Mass Update
  ),

... 
  

2. Then clear cache.

Wow Alex, thanks so much, it worked !

However, I can't seem to find the 2 following fields : "Synchronize with Outlook" and "Optout email". Would you happen to know the system's data names so I can include them in the vardefs.php file ?

Thanks again,

Alex

Hi.

In which module did you see this fields?

Hi Alex,

I see these 2 fields in the Contacts module, Sugar 5.2.0j.

Thanks!

In my modules/Contacts/vardefs.php (version 5.2.0f) I have this code:

 
 'sync_contact' =>
      array (
        'massupdate' => false,
        'name' => 'sync_contact',
        'vname' => 'LBL_SYNC_CONTACT',
        'type' => 'bool',
        'source' => 'non-db',
        'comment' => 'Synch to outlook?  (Meta-Data only)',
      ), 
  

What do you whant to do with this fields ("Synchronize with Outlook" , "Optout email")?

Yes, me too, it says 'massupdate' => false, but still shows up, along with the "Opt out email" option

Try something similar to code below in custom/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php

 <?php 

$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['do_not_call']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['account_name']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['account_id']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['report_to_name']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['lead_source']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['portal_active']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['opportunity_role']['massupdate'] = false;  
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['sync_contact']['massupdate'] = true;  

?>
