Mass Update - Contacts - Remove Fields?

[aram]

How can I remove default fields in Mass Update seen in Contacts List View?
I don't want Sync to Outlook or Lead Source, nor a few others.

Also is there a way to only allow Admins to do Mass Updates
preventing Mass Updating by any regular user?

Sugar 5.0.0b

Thanks,
Aram

Unfortunatley the "Synch to Outlook" mass-update item is hard-coded into the code with no way to remove. The remaining fields can be removed by adding the following to custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/Aram.php
( You can name the file what you want - the contents will be merged into another file ).

$dictionary['Contact']['fieldname']['massupdate'] = false;

where fieldname is the name of the field from the /modules/Contacts/vardefs.php such as "lead_source"

Note that after adding this file you will need to run the Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions and Admin -> Repair -> Clear Vardef Data Cache for the Contacts module. Also, because of a Bug in Sugar 5.0b, please uncheck the "Clear all cache files" and check "Clear Vardefs ONLY" when running Repair->Clear Vardef Cache.

Hi aram,

To display mass update only to admin can be achieved by adding following code at,
<root directory>\custom\modules\Accounts\views\view.list .php

/************************************************** */
<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php');

class AccountsViewList extends ViewList {
function listViewProcess() {
global $current_user;

//$this->params['massupdate'] = is_admin($current_user);
$this->lv->showMassupdateFields = is_admin($current_user);
parent::listViewProcess();
}
}
?>
/************************************************** */

Thanks.

PS : Above approach is module specific i.e with above example mass update panel of Accounts module only can be made available to admin.
