Yes, it would be possible to do so as sugar is highly customizable but not sure if it would be upgrade-safe as André Lopes mentioned in this thread which is very similar to what you are asking.

it didn't work this way.

I somehow need to change URL to my own Platform instead of portal. Then can create the layout. Do you think it is possible to do?

Hi Jessica Chugh,

I am not sure if it is that straightforward to just create our own custom platform and replace it with portal. Portal platform has its own router, layouts, views etc.

Are you hosted on-site? If so, maybe you can just register your own platform and then replace ^portal/ with your custom platform in RewriteRule in .htaccess file (placed in sugar root directory) and see if that routes you to your custom URL or not. If that works, then you may need to alter layouts and views based on your requirement in clients/portal directory.

I haven't done this before and not really sure if this would work 100%.

Regards.

Hi hats

Thank you for replying.

I mean if my current sugarcrm URL is : localhost/{site_url}/portal for customer registration portal. I should be able to get a new URL localhost/{site_url}/jessica (new platform is jessica) and do the customer registration from new URL.
