Email: Change from comma to semicolon?

Hi.

Sugar has this very cool feature that one can email to many people at the same time by selecting the appropriate Contacts in List View, then click on the arrow and choose Email. However, the deliminator (seperator) is comma ( , ) but Outlook prefers (sure it can be configured) semicolon ( ; ).  

Can this be changed system wide?

How?

Thanks guys and have a spectacular weekend

  • Hi André, how would you propose to implement that in detail? A custom plugin which is replaced in all occurrences where the EmailClientLaunch plugin referenced?

  • Hi

    Find the steps:

    1. Create a custom plugin based on EmailClientLaunch, modifying the custom one as per your previous comment.
    2. Identify all js controllers where it is loaded in ( find -name "*.js" | xargs grep -n "'EmailClientLaunch'" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "cache" | sort )
    3. For each js controller create its custom version, override the method initialize in order to replace "EmailClientLaunch" in the plugin list by the custom one.
    4. Make sure you run all appropriate repair actions.

    I'm afraid it is not possible to extend a plugin itself , so it is required to replace it that way.

    As Mando said several times: "This is the way".

  • Thanks a lot @André,

    so the list of customizations for me looks like this one (version 10.1):

      ...\clients\base\fields\email\email.js (1 hit)
    Line 32:     plugins: ['ListEditable', 'EmailClientLaunch'],

      ...\clients\base\fields\emailaction\emailaction.js (1 hit)
    Line 29:         this.plugins = _.union(this.plugins || [], ['EmailClientLaunch']);

      ...\clients\base\fields\mass-email-button\mass-email-button.js (1 hit)
    Line 35:         this.plugins = _.union(this.plugins || [], ['EmailClientLaunch']);

      ...\clients\base\views\activity-timeline\activity-timeline.js (1 hit)
    Line 18:     plugins: ['Dashlet', 'EmailClientLaunch', 'LinkedModel'],

      ...\modules\Emails\clients\base\fields\quickcreate\quickcreate.js (1 hit)
    Line 23:         this.plugins = _.union(this.plugins || [], ['EmailClientLaunch']);

    That's what I wanted to match.
