Email: Change from comma to semicolon?

Hi Kristjan,

As i seen this parameter(email_address_separator) in config.php.It is set to comma(,)

I think we can override this parameter in config_override.php like below

$sugar_config['email_address_separator']=";";

1st of all there is an option in Outlook which allows comma as address separator, so if you set that option all commas will be replaced by semicolons.

If you really want to change the comma in Sugar to semicolon you must patch a core file which is not upgradesafe.

This file is \include\javascript\sugar7\plugins\EmailClientLaunch.js

I function _formatRecipientsToString you find the definition of the delim_char which is ',' by default.

If you change the defintion to:

   _formatRecipientsToString: function(recipients) {
      var emailDelim = ';',
      emails = [],
      email;

the email addresses will be separated by ";" globally.

In Version 10.2 the function looks like this:

            _formatRecipientsToString: function(recipients) {
                var emails = [];

                recipients = recipients || [];

                if (!_.isArray(recipients)) {
                    recipients = [recipients];
                }

                _.each(recipients, function(recipient) {
                    var email = getEmailAddress(recipient);

                    if (email.get('email_address')) {
                        emails.push(email.get('email_address'));
                    }
                }, this);

                return emails.join(',');
            },

The last statement (return) uses the hardcoded comma.

            _formatRecipientsToString: function(recipients) {
                var emails = [];

                recipients = recipients || [];

                if (!_.isArray(recipients)) {
                    recipients = [recipients];
                }

                _.each(recipients, function(recipient) {
                    var email = getEmailAddress(recipient);

                    if (email.get('email_address')) {
                        emails.push(email.get('email_address'));
                    }
                }, this);

                return emails.join(',');
            },
