Removing Activities Tab at the Top

[rps1984]

When I select an Account, then click 'Create Note/Attachment' and then 'Full Form' I receive an error message that says I do not have access to view this page.

This is because I removed the Activities tab that displays at the very top (under Studio > Configure Tabs > Set 'Activities' to 'Hide Tab')

I don't want to see the Activities tab, but I still want to be able to see a note/attachment on the Accounts page (which requires the Activities module to NOT be hidden).

I think what it comes down to, is that I need to edit a php file somewhere, and if tab == Activities, then don't comment out the code. If that isn't the course I should go, maybe I should keep the Activities tab hidden, and then just change something in the source code somewhere that no longer checks if the activities tab is hidden, yet still do not display the tab at the top, while allowing access to the sections inside the activities tab.

Eh.. Hope that makes sense.

One last bump before I submit a ticket...

Try adding

$modules_exempt_from_availability_check['Notes'] = 'Notes';

somewhere in the custom directory (application/Extension ...) .

- Where is this at?

In the custom directory, I have: backup, include, modules, working. Then under modules I have Accounts and Contacts. Then under Accounts I have Language and Metadata, and then under metadata I have the listviewdefs.php file that doesn't look relevant. Am I in the right location?

It looks like you don't have any custom modules installed, so you would need to create the directories and file manually.
Under custom/ directory, create the following directory structure and file: application/Ext/Language/en_us.lang.ext.php and put the code in there.
This file gets rewritten automatically if you load any modules, so your changes might get overwritten at a later point.
You could also try creating a file with that entry under: Extension/application/Ext/Language/en_us.SOME_NAME.php and then run the Rebuild Extensions under Admin/Repair. This should write the contents into the en_us.lang.ext.php automatically, at least this is what happens during module installation.
Hope this helps

If I am only using some of the default modules, then how come I would need to manually create a directory?

This is just a more 'upgrade-safe' way, and that's where mine were put when I installed my custom module so I figured it would be a good place for it. You can add the entry anywhere you like, it should work too.

I have the same problem in that I want to hide the tab for a custom module but still get the associated sub panel

I tried adding $modules_exempt_from_availability_check['zz_jobd'] = 'Job Details';

But that made no difference

Any other ideas?

Hi, all.

You have to create an extended layoutdefs under acconts and any other module that has activities subpanel and insert the code:

 global $modules_exempt_from_availability_check;
$modules_exempt_from_availability_check['Notes'] = 'Notes';

Thanks


I did the following and it worked

$modules_exempt_from_availability_check['your module name']='Your module name';

in include/utils/security_utils.php
