Overriding vardefs in non custom module

[MissAran]

Hi, sorry if this is a really silly question, but if you can provide an answer that would be fantastic.

After following this thread regarding how to show the sub panels on Contacts to Accounts, to the point where if you select muliple accounts to one contact it shows on Contacts ListView multiple Contacts created by the relationship.

The User suggested the patch he had on the thread, this works. However, does anyone know how this can be Upgrade safe? Basically, how to override the vardefs of the Contacts module to minus 'account_name' and 'account_id' so on Listview it doesn't appear and is upgrade safe.

**EDIT**

use studio and just throw it out, it will be upgrade safe

Sorry, I don't know what you mean 'just throw it out'. Heh.

use studio to edit listview of accounts module, you can edit the fields that show on subpanel also.

There si default subpanel listview and specific views for some of the relationships.

I don't think I've explained myself well. I said ListView, but I should've said that on the index of the Contacts module shows all the contacts.

The customization I want to change that 'list' of Contacts to not include the 'default' VarDefs of the Contacts module to not include $dictionary array items 'accounts_name' and 'accounts_id'.

I'll edit my original post.

yeah i know what you said, and i have told you how to do it...

go to admin>studio>contacts>layouts>listview>EDIT!

Sorry, that hasn't worked of me.

In Studio I did just that. Contacts>Layouts>ListView>
In there the account_name was already in the 'hidden' section. But I saved and Deploy to be sure. Then I go back to my Contacts index, and there were still the multiple records shown (I also repaired and rebuilt before this).

jump into code then, first check custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/listview.php and after modules/Contacts/metadata/listview.php and remove it manualy.

Repair after.
