Hide Products in the Catalog

Hi Missy Brooks,

there is no administrative way to do that. But with a custom checkbox field e.g. visible_c you should be able to filter the records in the popup view. As in version 7.8 the quotes module is still BWC you can set the filter in a custom view.popup.php.

First define a custom field type checkbox, named visible (visible_c) in module Product Catalog (ProductTemplates).

Now add this field to the Popup ListView and Popup Search of the module  Product Catalog.

Now you have to create a custom view.popup.php with following content.

File custom/modules/ProductTemplates/views/view.popup.php:

<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
require_once('modules/ProductTemplates/views/view.popup.php');
class customProductTemplatesViewPopup extends ProductTemplatesViewPopup {
 function display() {
 $_REQUEST["visible_c_advanced"] = true;
 parent::display();
 }
}

By this code you just set the advanced search parameter for visible_c to true before the popup is shown.

After Quick Repair and Rebuild the popup should only show product templates with visible = true.

In version 7.9 and above the Quotes module is sidecar enabled and uses a drawer to select the Product Templates. Therefor you should develop a custom filter for the ProductTemplates Drawer which is opened in product selection for Quotes. In the developer guide you find how to do that: http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.9/Architecture/Filters/index.html#Filt… 

This sounds like a perfect solution for now.

So when we when upgrade, we can then customize which drawers open and IF they open? 

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that should follow the rules defined in the developer guide for drawer filters in the section "Adding Initial Filters to Drawers from a Controller".
