How do I force a subpanel to be open

This code may help you:

({
extendsFrom: 'BaseSubpanelLayout',

initialize: function(options) {
this._super('initialize', [options]);
},

_render: function() {
this._components[0].render();
this.$('.subpanel').toggleClass('closed', false);
}
})

I see how that code works but I cant see any way to narrow it down to a particular module.

Hi Kenneth Brill,

You can override subpanel layout controller and override _initPanelState function within it which comes from parent layout panel.js.

custom/clients/base/layouts/subpanel/subpanel.js

({
   extendsFrom: 'SubpanelLayout',
    initialize: function(options) {
       this._super('initialize', [options]);
    },



   _initPanelState: function() {
       this._super('_initPanelState');
       //if override is available, use it (it will override user last state property)
       if(!_.isUndefined(this.options.def.override_subpanel_collapse)) {
          this.context.set('collapsed', this.options.def.override_subpanel_collapse);
       }
    }
})

Then, add override property to your subpanel layout metadata file. For eg:

$viewdefs['<module_name>']['base']['layout']['subpanels'] = array(
   'components' => array(
      array(
         'layout' => 'subpanel',
         'label' => 'LBL_DOCUMENTS_SUBPANEL',
         'context' => array(
         'link' => 'documents',
      ),

      //add override property for subpanel to hide/show
      'override_subpanel_collapse' => false,
   )

);

This way, you can add the above override property to any subpanel you want to be expand or collapse by default irrespective of the user last state.

Note: This would still obey the application level collapse settings (in Admin->System Settings). If checked, all subpanels will be collapsed by default.

Let us know if this helps.

Regards.

Hello Kenneth,

here is my take on this one. I know it's some time ago but maybe could be useful to someone else!

Note: This code should not obey the application level collapse settings (in Admin->System Settings).

custom/clients/base/layouts/panel/panel.js

Line 7 Subpanel module

Line 9 Main Record module

({
    extendsFrom: 'PanelLayout',

    _initPanelState: function() {
      this._super('_initPanelState');

      if(this.module=='Contacts') {
        if(!_.isUndefined(this.context.attributes.parentModule)) {
          if(this.context.attributes.parentModule == 'Cases') {
            this.context.set('collapsed', true);
          }
        }
      }
    },

})
