Hide Contacts subpanel in Accounts module

Hello Jason,

     I have achieved this  but not in an upgrade safe manner. Until you get an upgrade safe to achieve this, you can follow below instructions.

     In following path:

          modules/Accounts/metadata/subpaneldefs.php

     Comment the code written for Contact module.

e.g.

            'contacts' => array(

                'order' => 30,

                'module' => 'Contacts',

                'sort_order' => 'asc',

                'sort_by' => 'last_name, first_name',

                'subpanel_name' => 'ForAccounts',

                'get_subpanel_data' => 'contacts',

                'add_subpanel_data' => 'contact_id',

                'title_key' => 'LBL_CONTACTS_SUBPANEL_TITLE',

                'top_buttons' => array(

                    array('widget_class' => 'SubPanelTopCreateAccountNameButton'),

                    array('widget_class' => 'SubPanelTopSelectButton', 'mode'=>'MultiSelect')

                ),

            ),

    And then do a quick repair and rebuilt. Let me know if you still have the problem.

Hi Jason,,

this is upgradesafe coding..

Subpanel layouts are defined originally within metadata, e.g. /modules/Accounts/metadata/subpaneldefs.php.

These files hold the original, default layout of subpanels and the fields within them. They are overridden in custom Extension data, e.g. custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/accounts_cont.php.

After a repair & rebuild, you’ll find the data from the arbitrarily named files are merged and placed in /custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php.

<?php

unset($layout_defs["Accounts"]["subpanel_setup"]['contacts']);

Hi Sohan & Mehul,

The solutions are not working for me, but I found the solution: $layout_defs['Accounts']['subpanel_setup'][contacts] = array ();

Thanks anyway!!

Hi jason ,

Logically

unset($layout_defs["Accounts"]["subpanel_setup"]['contacts']);

and

$layout_defs['Accounts']['subpanel_setup'][contacts] = array ();

both are Same.

Hi Mehul,

But, unset($layout_defs["Accounts"]["subpanel_setup"]['contacts']); is not working for me. Weird.

Hi Mehul,

thanks for this upgradesafe coding tips. But I still can't hide my sub-panels.

1) I have created a new file in <custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/accounts_cont.php>

with following lines of code: unset($layout_defs["Accounts"]["subpanel_setup"]['contacts']);

2) clicked repair & rebuild and I can find the changes in </custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Layoutdefs/layoutdefs.ext.php>.

--> But there are NO changes in the Accounts mask for end users.
Thx for any help.

This solution works for me! Sugar (version 7.6.0.0)

1) Copy file modules/accounts/clients/base/layouts/subpanels/subpanels.php to --> custom/modules/accounts/clients/base/layouts/subpanels/subpanels.php

2) Open file custom/modules/accounts/clients/base/layouts/subpanels/subpanels.php in Editor.

3) Hiding e.g. contacts: find 'link' => 'contacts' and comment the whole section

/****

    array (

      'layout' => 'subpanel',

      'label' => 'LBL_CONTACTS_SUBPANEL_TITLE',

'override_subpanel_list_view' => 'subpanel-for-accounts',

      'context' => array (

        'link' => 'contacts',

      ),

    ),

****/

4) Save >> Quick repair and rebuild >> DONE
