Remove side create view from home

[ffletch]

Hey all I'm running Sugar Version 5.2.0 (Build 5380). I am looking for a way to remove the "New Contact" side create view from the home tab. I see that customizing \custom\modules\Contacts\metadata\sidecreateviewde fs.php changes it here as well as on the contacts tab. However I'd like to remove it completely from the Home tab only and leave it on the Contacts tab and I can't see where to do that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi ffletch

Create the file custom/modules/Contacts/views/view.sidequickcreate.php and add this code into it:

 <?
require_once('include/MVC/View/SugarView.php');
class ViewSidequickcreate extends SugarView {
        function ViewSidequickcreate() {
                parent::SugarView();
        }
 
        function display() {
                return '';
        }
}
?>

Andre,

Thanks for you response. This gets rid of the New Contact side create view for BOTH the home and contacts tab. Is it possible to remove it ONLY from the home tab?

You need to override the script modules/Home/Forms.php
Note that this customization is not upgrade safe.

Try this in Andopes' code

 function display() {
            if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Home')
                return '';
           else
               return parent::display();
        }

Hi mvngti

Nice tip!
That is an obvious solution but I did not get it!

Ok, forgive me but I used the following code:

 <?php
require_once('include/MVC/View/SugarView.php');
class ViewSidequickcreate extends SugarView {
        function ViewSidequickcreate() {
                parent::SugarView();
        }

function display() {
        if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Home')
                return '';
           else
               return parent::display();
        }  
}
?>  

And it still does not appear in either module. I do see module=Contacts and module=Home in the URL so I'm pretty sure $_REQUEST['module'] is correct. Not sure if it matters but if I do this:

 <?php
require_once('include/MVC/View/SugarView.php');
class ViewSidequickcreate extends SugarView {
        function ViewSidequickcreate() {
                parent::SugarView();
        }

function display() {
         return parent::display();
        }  
}
?>  

Nothing displays in either Contacts or Home. I forgot to mention that I am running in developer mode so I'm assuming that cache shouldn't be an issue. What am I missing?

Sorry Adopes' original code was based on displaying nothing so you need a bit more in the class if it should display the view for Contacts.

Copy ./include/MVC/View/views/view.sidequickcreate.php to your custom/modules/Contacts/views/view.sidequickcreate.php and then just change the display method to start with

 if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Home')
                return ''; 
  

Keep the rest of the file, including the display method, in tact.

Is there a way of customising the sideviewcreate in home, so that it creates leads, rather then contacts?
