Custom view - removing the SuiteCRM chrome, menus, footer, etc

đź’¬ General Discussion

I’d like to completely customize a view. I want the view to be void of the standard SuiteCRM “chrome”. No menus, header, recently used, footer, etc. I basically want the supporting .js files for SuiteCRM, but I want the page to not appear as though it is in SuiteCRM.

By following the steps in an old post (Hello World), I see I can get rid of all the chrome. Is this the best approach to achieving this? Or is there another suggestion someone can point me towards?

There are many tutorials online (including the one you referenced) about creating custom views. But I cannot find is a tutorial or instructions explaining how to remove the headers, footer, sidebars and all that relating to the “normal” SuiteCRM look. What I want to do is create a view that is basically blank and free from all the suiteCRM Chrome.

If you look my code :


     
    function action_Map() { 
        global $current_user;
        global $timedate;
        
        //echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_REQUEST); echo '</pre>'; echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_POST); echo '</pre>';die();
         // $_REQUEST['select_entire_list'] == 1;
         // $_REQUEST['current_query_by_page']
		$i = 1;
		$data = '';
        if ($_REQUEST['select_entire_list'] == 1){
	        $mass = new MassUpdate();
			//$mass->setSugarBean($bean);    
			$mass->generateSearchWhere($_REQUEST['module'], $_REQUEST['current_query_by_page']);
			$seed = BeanFactory::getBean($_REQUEST['module']);
			$query = $seed->create_new_list_query('name ASC', $mass->where_clauses);
			
			//var_dump($query); die();
			$result = $GLOBALS['db']->query($query, true);
			
			while($row = $GLOBALS['db']->fetchByAssoc($result) )
			{
                	$data .= '{coordinates: new google.maps.LatLng(' .$row['billing_lat'] .',' .$row['billing_lng'] .'), id: "' .$i .'", title: "' .$row['name'] .'", address_details: "' .$row['name'] .' "},';
				 	$i++;
			}
		}else{
         	if ( !empty($_REQUEST['uid']) ) {
        	//echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_REQUEST); die(); echo '</pre>';
            	$recordIds = explode(',',$_REQUEST['uid']);
            	
            	$data = '';
            	foreach ( $recordIds as $recordId ) {
                	$bean = SugarModule::get($_REQUEST['module'])->loadBean();
                	$bean->retrieve($recordId);
                	$data .= '{coordinates: new google.maps.LatLng(' .$bean->billing_lat .',' .$bean->billing_lng .'), id: "' .$i .'", title: "' .$bean->name .'", address_details: "' .$bean->name .' "},';
				 	$i++;
			 	}
		 	} 
        }
        include('custom/include/mydir//map/map.html');
        die();

    }

I load a basic HTML file… with no suitecrm css but i have always my bean.
This is for custom action but, you can add a custom button with id of the bean and the url of the action.

Or maybe, your view must not extend a sugar view. I am not try this.

Can someone explain how to use the SugarView options

show_title
show_footer
show_header
etc

??

It appears like creating a view setting these options to FALSE might achieve what I am looking for…however I am stumped right now on how to set these to false and use them.

You can remove the SuiteCRM header and footer by creating a custom view and having this code:


class myCustomView extends SugarView {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::SugarView();
        $this->options['show_footer'] = false;
        $this->options['show_header'] = false;
    }



}
