removing "assigned to" from sidecreateview

[avidan]

OS: Ubuntu 7.10 Server
Sugar version: 5 CE
Webserver type: Apache 2.2
PHP: 5.2.1
Mysql: 5.0

Hello,

I am trying to eliminate the "assigned to" field for creating new contacts on the left hand "side create quick view". It shows up by default on the home screen and the contact module screen.
I found the following files that seemed to contain the magic:
/modules/Contacts/metadata/sidecreateviewdefs.php
/modules/Contacts/vardefs.php

I went into the vardefs.php page and made the following change:
'assigned_user_link' =>
array (
'name' => 'assigned_user_link',
'type' => 'link',
'relationship' => 'contacts_assigned_user',
'vname' => 'LBL_ASSIGNED_TO_USER',
'link_type' => 'one',
'required'=>false,...........

Then I went into the sidecreateviewdefs.php file and REMOVED the following lines (after trying to just change the "required" to false):

array (
array('name'=>'assigned_user_name', 'displayParams'=>array('required'=>true,'size'=>11 , 'selectOnly'=>true)),
),


What am I missing?

This was the first step of modifying the side create view, and before I move on the next step, which would be to add the "company" field, I would like to get this part working....

any thoughts?

thanks,
avidan

Hi avidan

Did you have any luck getting that working - i am trying to do something similar in Accounts - need to change the current website field to be a differernt field. Found the details in the sidecreateviewdefs.php and made the appropriate changes but I cannot get them to show up in sugar!

any help appreciated please

Hi, all.

For SugarCRM 5.0.0f you can copy the sidequickcreatedefs.php to custom/modules/Contacts/metadata and remove the assigned_user_name field.

It is not necessary to convert the require from true to false at the vardefs.php, and it is a bad idea because it is not upgrade safe customization.

I just tried that suggestion and it works properly.

Cheers
