Showing more than 10 tabs in Sugar 6.0

[avadtechnologies]

I would like to be able to view more than 10 tabs without an overflow menu showing up. I have accomplished this before but 6.0 is giving me problems. I found out how to change the drop down menu to go all the way up to 20 with the following in sugar_root/modules/users/editview.php:

$sugar_smarty->assign("MAX_TAB_OPTIONS", range(1, 10));

But whenever I select an amount over 10, it reverts my settings back down to 7 (which is the default max tabs in config.php). I think due to something in the following code:

$user_max_tabs = $focus->getPreference('max_tabs');
if(isset($user_max_tabs) && $user_max_tabs > 0) {
	$sugar_smarty->assign("MAX_TAB", $user_max_tabs);
} elseif(SugarThemeRegistry::current()->maxTabs > 0) {
    $sugar_smarty->assign("MAX_TAB", SugarThemeRegistry::current()->maxTabs);
} else {
    $sugar_smarty->assign("MAX_TAB", $GLOBALS['sugar_config']['default_max_tabs']);
}

I will attempt to both change the default value in config.php and comment out the code to set the value to default. However what I would really like to do is figure out why and where it is resetting in the first place and just make it stop. That way each user can set their own preference instead of being assigned a value.

Setting the default amount of tabs to 20 in the config.php worked. However every time a user views or changes a page it is calling that script and setting it to 20.

Anyone know where or how to best stop that from happening?

I just tried setting 20 in the config, and after logout/login, still get 7. Anyone have any more info on this?

Thanks!

I just upgraded to 6.1RC3 and I am having the sam issue but the setting in config.php is having no effect.

What I did to allow more tabs:

modules/Users/EditView.php line 346 changed to:

$sugar_smarty->assign("MAX_TAB_OPTIONS", range(1, 20));

You need to set "maxTabs" in the themedefs.php file found in

themes/Sugar5/themedef.php

$themedef = array(
'maxTabs' => '15', <-- add this line
'name' => "Classic",
'description' => "Default theme from Sugar 5",
'version' => array(
'regex_matches' => array('6\.*.*'),
),
);

You'll also need to update the EditView.php file as previously mentioned and then perform a Quick Repair
