New Contact on Homepage

[DanBrown]

Hi All

Im using sugar 5.1.0, there is a "New Contact" short cut (quick create) area on the left of the home page, i would like to remove as it confuses users of the CRM.

Many Thanks

Hi Dan

Add the following code into custom/Extension/modules/Home/Ext/Menus/menu.ext.php

global $module_menu;

$removed_menus_opt = array('CreateContacts');
foreach($module_menu as $id => $mmenu){
foreach($removed_menus_opt as $rm_menu) {
if($mmenu[2] == $rm_menu) {
unset($module_menu[$id]);
}
}
}

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Repair Extension after saving that file.

Cheers

Hi Dan

Create the file custom/modules/Contacts/views/view.sidequickcreate.php with this content:

 class ViewSidequickcreate extends SugarView {
    function ViewSidequickcreate() {
        parent::SugarView();
    }
    
    function display() {
        return '';
    }
} 
  

Cheers

Hi andre,

i created the missing path section and then made the php file with the code, when i viewed on the home page it worked but the code appeared along the top of the screen???

I tried to delete the php file and this seems to have fixed it, the part is disappeared and the writing is gone but there is no php file? how is it doing it?

Thanks

Hi Dan

I did not understand that issue.
Can you explain again?
A mockup could be useful.

Right,

I created C:\sugarcrm-5.0.0g\htdocs\sugarcrm\custom\modules\Contacts\vie ws\view.sidequickcreate.php

With the following code:

class ViewSidequickcreate extends SugarView {
function ViewSidequickcreate() {
parent::SugarView();
}

function display() {
return '';
}
}

It removes the quick create section but...

The code appears at the top, see image

Hi Dan

Make sure you added the <?php and ?>

 <?php
class ViewSidequickcreate extends SugarView {
    function ViewSidequickcreate() {
        parent::SugarView();
    }
    
    function display() {
        return '';
    }
}
?>
