Modifying Header Links

[tylerkolden]

I have just updated to SugarCRM 6.2.1 and would like to modify a link in the header. Specifically, I would like to change the hyperlinked username following the 'Welcome' text to take a user to their Employee module record instead of their Users module record.

In SugarCRM 5.5.2 I accomplished this task through the following steps:

Step 1: Navigate to /include/ and open globalControlLinks.php

Step 2: Locate the following block of code

$global_control_links['myaccount'] = array(

‘linkinfo’ => array($app_strings['LBL_MY_ACCOUNT'] => ‘index.php?

module=Users&action=DetailView&record=’.$current_u ser->id.”),

‘submenu’ => ”

);

Step 3: Replace it with the following block of code

$global_control_links['myaccount'] = array(

‘linkinfo’ => array($app_strings['LBL_MY_ACCOUNT'] => ‘index.php?

action=DetailView&module=Employees&record=’.$curre nt_user->id.”),

‘submenu’ => ”

);


This same technique doesn't seem to work in 6.2.1.

I have looked at the welcome.tpl file in \themes\default\tpls but wasn't able to locate where I could change the hyperlink.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The way we did it is by using custom/include/globalControlLinks.php. "include/globalControlLinks.php" has an include statement that references the custom one.

In the custom one, we unset the old link and then added the code for the custom one.

unset($global_control_links['myaccount']);

$global_control_links['myaccount'] = array(

‘linkinfo’ => array($app_strings['LBL_MY_ACCOUNT'] => ‘index.php?

action=DetailView&module=Employees&record=’.$curre nt_user->id.”),

‘submenu’ => ”

);

Hi all

I am trying to call a secondary web application calling it from one of the links included in the header of the screen.

To do so I have modifyed the globalControlLinks.php file adding this code:

Code:

$global_control_links['employees'] = array(
'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_EMPLOYEES']=> 'http://91.117.53.175:8080/binomi'),
'submenu' => ''
);

As you can see I have just added the url to the secondary application, and it is launched in the same browser, but now I would like also to get this:

a) would like the secondary application to appear in a different tab in the browser so I can use SugarCRM and this application.

b) This secondary application has a login and password screen that I would like to join by using already the current_uer_id and password of the user in SugarCRM. To do this, I need to launch a POST call to this url using variable "j_login" and "j_password". ¿Any ideas about how I can include this POST call in this link?

Thanks a lot guys

You can check the file include/MVC/view/SugarView.php There is teh method which builds the header links, there you can easialy customize it.

action=DetailView&module=Employees&record=’.$curre nt_user->id.”),

‘submenu’ => ”

);

then i copy the file to custom/include i get an internal 500
What code do you write in the "standard" globalcontrollinks.php?

thx best regards`?
