changing order of modules appearing at the top

Seshagiri Sondur

Hi,

Tried changing the order of modules at the top using  "Select Module Tabs and Subpanels" but no matter what the old order prevails - 

As you can see I have moved a module called "Purchase Orders" up to #4 on the list but it is not the 4th module on top. Only way we can fix this is by resetting user preferences and then clear cache and reload. Is this a bug? We don't want to reset user preferences mainly because we have about 200 users and we don't want them to have to do this manually and administrators can't do a global reset from my understanding?

    this is the admin configuration, it only affect new users. In order to make it working for existing users you need to do that in the layout options panel at Advanced tab of each User profile.

    Thanks @Andre! Issue is that we would have to do this manually across 200 users or rely on users to do it themselves both of which don't seem to be feasible options for us.

    There is an alternative solution:

    • apply the changes in a specific user.
    • fetch from database (user_preferences table) the record containing the change (it is serialized and base64 encoded)
    • write a php script which load the user preference for each user and update it according to the previously configured in that user.

    We had done something similar for Home's dashlets, it works like a charm.
