Hide Subpanels by using ModuleLoader to upload Custom LayoutDefs

💬 General Discussion
1

I do not have access to the backend of my version of SuiteCRM and want to hide SubPanels in certain Modules, so I know how to do it in an upgrade safe way by creating a custom layoutdef.php BUT I was curious whether anyone knows how I can create a module that I can upload to Suite using the Module Loader that will just place the layoutdefs where I need it?

Hi,

You need not create a module for upload the custom layoutdef.php in SuiteCRM.

You can create a package that has manifest.php that copy the file and custom folder that contains the layoutdef.php.

Manifest Code for Copy the File in SuiteCRM:-

That is exactly what I needed just was not 100% confident as to the process. Your advice was perfect.
Thanks

Is their a similar way that you can use this method to remove relationships/change relationships that were not created in Studio?

Hi,

Can you please explain the purpose of updating the existing relationship in the SuiteCRM so I can understand the exact requirement and help you.

Thank You!

Hi
My Accounts to Projects is a many-to-many relationship but I would like to change it to a one-to-many relationship so that one account can have many projects.
By doing one-to-many I will then also get the subpanel in Accounts effectively showing the Projects.

Hope that makes sense

Hi,

Thank you for the explanation. I understood the requirement.

You can hide the account subpanel from code and create a new relationship one-to-many between accounts and projects.

Because it’s not advisable to modify the existing relationship of SuiteCRM.

Thank You!
