Hiding a tab but still showing the subpanels in related modules.

[kenneth.thorman]

I would like to be able to use some generated modules from Module Builder, install them as normally but I am looking for a option in the manifest.php file.

$installdefs = array (
'id' => 'ResourceManagement',
'beans' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'module' => 'inux_Skill',
'class' => 'inux_Skill',
'path' => 'modules/inux_Skill/inux_Skill.php',
'tab' => true,
'subpanel' => true,

),

There is some additional information here.

Does anyone know if this is possible within the framework as it is today?

Regards
Ken

Hi, Ken.

Insert this piece of code at the top of subpanel_defs.php of inux_Skill module:

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

Cheers

Hi André

Thank you very much

This would make a great wiki article... just noting that so I can post it later, unless one of you wants to!

I just wanted to mention, that using 5.2.0f, I made the following changes to hide a few tabs while showing subpanels.

Example:
I'm using the SecuritySuite for team authorization in the open source verison, I wanted to allow leads to be assigned to a Group, but I did not want the SecuritySuite tab to be displayed.

File to change:
\custom\modules\Leads\Ext\Layoutdefs\layoutdefs.ex t.php

Code to add:
global $modules_exempt_from_availability_check;
$modules_exempt_from_availability_check['SecurityGroups'] = 'SecurityGroups';

This method is safer for future customizations:

1. Create a file (the name doesn't matter) with the code below and replace "ChildModule" with the name of the subpanel module.
   

    <?php 
   global $modules_exempt_from_availability_check;
   $modules_exempt_from_availability_check['ChildModule'] = 'ChildModule';
   ?>  

2. Save this file to custom/Extension/modules/<ParentModule>/Ext/Layoutdefs/ where "ParentModule" is the name of the module where the subpanel will be displayed.
3. Admin > Repair > Quick Repair and Rebuild.

For example:
custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/showDisabledModuleSubpanel.php

I've made this change on 2 custom modules and they seemed to work perfect, but I'm getting a "Warning: You do not have permission to access this module.". I checked the settings under Roles and the modules are enabled and the users have access "All". By doing this override, do I need to change something to allow users to continue to use the module after the tab has been hidden??
