More Screen Columns

[citapinc]

SugarCRM CE 6.2.3

In Studio I can't find a way to change the screen layout from a two column to a three or four column layout. Where is this option?

It is not possible to change it in Studio.

In custom/modules/<modulename>/metadata/XXXdefs.php you'll find entries 'maxColumns' => '2' which define the column number. The indexes in the rest of these files refer to this and should always have values from 0 to maxColumns-1. Especially the 'widths' array should be filled properly and contain definitions for all columns (I'm not sure what happens otherwise).

I'm always afraid to touch any of the built-in PHP files because of upgrade issues. Will changing this value cause problems down the road when we upgrade to another release of SugarCRM?

If you do it in the custom area no.

That's great news!!!

I'm just now starting to wrap my head with the developers guide so the more I read the more I'll understand the power behind this product.
