The buttons can be defined in the viewdefs.php files which is found in modules/<module_name>/metadata. A good example of this is in modules/Accounts/metadata/detailviewdefs.php. Look for the “buttons” array.

Hello.

I use PHP 7 on SuiteCRM 7.9.4

I can not change the buttons on TASK anymore.
The detailviewdefs contains my own buttons, I Quick Repair, but the buttons are still the default buttons for TASK …

Any idea ?

Check for the Path if you are modifying the correct file.

custom/modules/Tasks/metadata/detailviewdefs.php

If this file does not exists, copy the core file from modules/Tasks/metadata/detailviewdefs.php and place it at the above path and modify it.

Hi all,
there is a little problem (or bug) in suitecrm version 794. I hope it’s only a problem in my test installation…

Everytime you “quick and repair”, in the custom metadata files like custom/modules/Tasks/metadata/detailviewdefs.php, suitecrm write first your customization, and at the end of the file override the “templateMeta” content of the $viewdefs array.

So, become impossible to customize “templateMeta” content of the array and also the button list.

So you mean there is no way to customize the buttons in an upgrade-safe way anymore ?

I don’t know how… but there is always some trick :wink:
(javascript can be one solution to add the button but not so elegant)

I think is a bug … is too strange and seems to have no sense this kind of rewrite of the variable

Is there a way to do this WITHOUT using/customising the detailviewdefs.php file? I’m creating an installable module with custom buttons/actions and if I do it this way my detailviewdefs.php file MAY overwrite any pre-existing customisations, not a nice thing to do :=]

Thanks for any assistance in advance
