Extend viewdefs to change a value for a button

Hi Artis Plocins 

I believe this article is useful.

Good luck!

Hi, thanks but I've seen that page already and it only explains how to add something in viewdefs, not remove an element from it or change a single property of an element like a button type. Is there really no way to do that other than fully overriding the entire record.php file?

You may remove elements as well. You just have to walk through all buttons in order to make sure you will remove the correct one. Inside this walkthrough you need to look for a specific button attribute in order to identify the target one.

We had done that previously without big deal.

Good luck!

Can you please check and see why this bit of code does not do anything like I think it should?

This is the first thing I tried, and I tried again and it still doesn't work.

In the file custom/Extension/modules/Calls/Ext/clients/base/views/record/record.php

<?php

foreach ($viewdefs['Calls']['base']['view']['record']['buttons'] as &$button) {
  if ($button['name'] == 'save_dropdown') {
    foreach ($button['buttons'] as &$btn) {
      if ($btn['name'] == 'save_invite_button') {
        unset($btn);
      }
    }
  }
}

After rebuilding and clearing the cache, the button is still there:

Although this should also work, in theory, but doesn't:

function remove_button(&$item) {
    if ($item['name'] == 'save_invite_button') {
        unset($item);
    }
}

array_walk_recursive($viewdefs['Calls']['base']['view']['record']['buttons'], 'remove_button');
