Sugar 7 : how to disable "create lead" button in Main Menu?

Hello everyone,
Here i come again with a new problem/question !

Sugar 7.2.0, Pro edition :
My Leads are automatically created (by .csv imports or by another way), and I would like to disable the standard creation for all users.

My question could be cut in two parts :
- How do I disable the "Create a Lead" button in the module tab's dropdown on the Main Menu?
( tried to disable it via custom/modules/Leads/clients/base/views/headerpane/headerpane.php, ran QRR, but did nothing)
- How do I disable the "Create" button in the Leads' ListView?
(i checked out custom/modules/Leads/clients/base/views/list/list.php and there is nothing about buttons)
- How do i disable every create leads button, in all the application, in fact?

Thanks a lot for giving me clues on where i should search :)

I disabled the list view create by removing the button from list-headerpain.php

Hi Mike,
First of all, thanks for sharing your experience. I still have a question :

Did you meant that you modified the <sugarbase>/clients/base/views/list-headerpane/list-headerpane.php?

I tried to override it by copying it under custom/modules/Leads/clients/base/views/list-headerpane/list-headerpane.php, commented the array for create_button and ran a QRR... but it made a big issue : every module name on main Menu was replaced by "Module Nmae" and no more "Leads", "Accoutns" and so.. And switched between 404 error and loading page..

Sorry I was unclear as usual

In my case it was for a custom module and I created modules/zz_expenses_detail/clients/base/views/list-headerpane/list-headerpane.php

I havent tested it but I'm pretty certain for leads you could create it in custom/modules/leads/....

my code is

$viewdefs['zz_expenses_detail']['base']['view']['list-headerpane'] = array(
    'template' => 'headerpane',
    'title' => 'LBL_MODULE_NAME',
    'buttons' => array(
        array(
            'name' => 'sidebar_toggle',
            'type' => 'sidebartoggle',
        ),
    ),
);

To remove create from the Main Menu I edited modules/zz_expenses_detail/clients/base/menus/header/header.php

Thanks Mike, this solution worked like a charm!
I need to test for the listview and if it works, this subject will be clearly and quickly solved!
Thanks again! :)

thanks Mike, i made a mistake on my $viewdefs array and did not specify the leads module, that is why it removed every module's name. :)
But, by doing this, strangely i erase the module-title 'Leads', on top of the page, exactly in the list-headerpane.. Does it displays right to you?
i have to search on that...

Thanks a lot

Yup displays properly for me

hum... well that is odd, because i just saw :
this erase the module title AND the toggle sidebar button (which yet stays definitely in my custom code) and... erase every css of the list-headerpane (instead of having a gray background, it is totally white...) i've tried several QRR and repair JS, but well, nothing came up

coming with more precisions : looking at the html hierachy generated, it looks like all the div containing the headerpane is empty.
normally it looks like this :

<div id="content">
  <!-- some other parent divs -->
    <div class="main-pane span8">
      <div>
        <div class="headerpane">
          <h1>
            <div class="record-cell"><span class="module-title"> Opportunities</span>
            </div>
            <div class="btn-toolbar pull-right dropdown">
              <span sfuuid="11" class="list-headerpane"> <!-- here is the a for the create button--> </span>
              <span sfuuid="12" class="list-headerpane" tabindex="-1"> <!-- here is the button for toggling the drawer--> </span>
             </div
           </h1>

But for my leads, i now only have the following :

<div id="content">
  <!-- some other parent divs -->
    <div class="main-pane span8">
      <div>
        <div ></div>
<!-- all other code-->

So i have only a empty <div></div> instead of all my full html for my headerpane.... absolutely no idea on what happened....
