Unable to change module name...

[djg]

I would like to rename the "leads" module

Using Studio, I modiied the value of "LBL_MODULE_NAME", but this change is not being propagated to the Sugar menu bar. I am running 5.0.0f.

Can someone from SugarCRm please confirm that this is a bug, or indicate what I need to do to change the name of a module?

thanks,

d.

As the tabs are language dependent, you need to customise the language file for such a change to take place. Renaming the module has no effect on use presentation.

Assuming version 5.*, from Admin, choose "Rename Tabs" and select the language in which you wish to make the change.

Save, and then do a quick repair to make the changes take place (Admin->Repair->Quick Repair)

The changhes cause the creation of the file custom\include\language\<language.php>

You can amend other elements of the GUI by adding additional elements to this file. ie. locate the source element in \include\<language.php> and copy the element to custom\include\language\<language.php> to override it with something else in an upgrade safe manner.

Hello,

I tried to update a module name using the 'Rename Tabs' in the Admin section, but there does seem to be a bug. It does not update the module name, and the custom/include/language/en_us.lang.php file does not seem to properly update either.

If you go into the custom/include/language/en_us.lang.php and set

$app_list_strings['moduleList']['OLDMODULENAME']='NEWMODULENAME';

Then go into the admin section and Rebuild extensions, this will sucessfully update the module name

Hi,

Got this fix from Sugar for this issue with 5.0.0d This worked for one of our customers.

Edit the file "modules/Studio/DropDowns/EditView.tpl"

Change the code < method='post' action='index.php' name='dropdowns'> <input type='hidden' name='action' value='wizard'> <input type='hidden' name='wizard' value='EditDropDownWizard'> <input type='hidden' name='option' value='EditDropdown'> <input type='hidden' name='module' value='Studio'> {html_options name='dropdown_lang' options=$dropdown_languages selected=$dropdown_lang onchange="document.dropdowns.submit();"} </> to < method='post' action='index.php' name='dropdowns'> <input type='hidden' name='action' value='wizard'> <input type='hidden' name='wizard' value='EditDropDownWizard'> <input type='hidden' name='option' value='EditDropdown'> <input type='hidden' name='module' value='Studio'> <input type='hidden' name='dropdown_name' value='{$dropdown_name}'> {html_options name='dropdown_lang' options=$dropdown_languages selected=$dropdown_lang onchange="document.dropdowns.submit();"} </>

The change is <input type='hidden' name='dropdown_name' value='{$dropdown_name}'> to that block, this retains the list of field you are looking at.
