HowTo: Change Subpanel Display Label

[NSNDev]

I think this will probably be an easy one for all you experienced developers out there so please pardon my lack of experience...

I want to do what I think should be a very simple thing. In the Accounts tab there is a subpanel called 'Member Organizations'. I want to change the name so that it displays 'Subsidiaries'. Apparently this isn't something that can be changed from within Studio. How do I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Add the below entry to the $mod_strings array in "custom\modules\Accounts\language\en_us.lang.p hp".

  'LBL_MEMBER_ORG_SUBPANEL_TITLE'=>'Subsidiaries',

If there is no such file available in custom directory, create the file using below code

<?php

$mod_strings = array (
        'LBL_MEMBER_ORG_SUBPANEL_TITLE'=>'Subsidiaries',
        );

?>

PS: Don't forget to enable developer mode, while doing this change

Thank you very much Siva! You're solution worked perfectly. I didn't have to create the file since it was there already so just inserting that additonal line did the trick. I must say that this little excercise has given me another precious "nugget" as to the inner workings of SugarCRM.

One last thing, you mentioned putting SugarCRM into developer mode. I couldn't figure out how to do that and even though the solution you provided apparently worked anyway, for my own edification could you tell me how to put SugarCRM into developer mode and in what circumstances I would need to do so?

You can set the enable developer mode in Admin -> System Settings, by checking the Developer Mode Checkbox.

From SugarDeveloperZone,

Use Developer Mode when Customizing the User Interface

When developing in SugarCRM, it is suggested that you turn on Developer Mode (Admin->System Settings->Advanced->Developer Mode) which causes the system to ignore the cached metadata files. This is especially helpful when you are altering templates, metadata or language files directly. When using Module Builder or Studio, the system will automatically refresh the file cache. Be sure to turn Developer Mode off when you have completed your customizations as Developer Mode does degrade system performance.
