Modify module variables

[oskarsson]

Hi all,

I'm completely new to SugarCRM, but so far I like it very much! I've adapted the modules and tabs as per my requirements and now I'm stuck at the second step. I would like to be able to add/remove variables from the Module that I don't need and just consider clutter (Eg. in the Action "Create Opportunity" I just need several variables, and not all that are mentioned).

Could anyone inform me on how I can edit these existing modules, removing any unwanted variables?

Thanks in advance!

welcome to SugarCRM Universe.

You need to create an extended menu for Opportunities in order to drop such menu item.

custom/Extension/modules/Opportunities/Ext/Menus/somescript.php

Inside this script you need to unset from $module_menu the options you want to drop out.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Before starting to configure scripts, I was just looking around and found that inside the Admin/Studio part I can make some adjustments to the modules, such as changing labels/fields. However, I have not found how I can delete fields. As I assume this is not possible from the admin/studio, where would I be able to find the actual (.php) files that contain the information of the module and its fields?

Best regards.

Found them (Eg. /sugarcrm/modules/Opportunities/Opportunity.php)

I understand I should be careful as some relationships with other files might be lost, but couldn't I just remove any unwanted variables from this file? if not, what would be the reasons not to? (stability?)

Best regards.

You can not delete built in fields or relationships, you just remove them from layout.
