Reorder / remove / override menu entries in side menu (ListView)

👨‍💻 Development Help

Hi,
I created a new menu entry for a custom module. I now have in the side menu that you see when the user is on the ListView of a module the following entries:

  • Create XXX
  • View XXX

I would like to remove the default ‘CREATE XX’ entry and replace it by my new custom entry. How can I do that? I figured out how to add new entries, which appear in the order of definition in the Menu file but I couldn’t figure out how to suppress or overwrite default menu entries.
Does someone know?

I use SuiteCRM 7.11.4 (Sugar 6.5.25, Build 344).

Hi,
All you need to do some php code at this location.

custom/Extension/modules/modules_name/Ext/Menus/outright_override_menu.php.

Create this file and put some code to override your default Menus.

I use this file to create my new menu entry. It didn’t exist before so I created it. It looks like this at the moment - it only contains the definition of my new entry:


$module_menu[] = Array(
    //URL
    "index.php?module=XXXXX&action=YYYYYY",

    //Label String
    $mod_strings[''] = 'Custom Option',

    'List_Maps',

    //Module Name
    'CustomXXXX'
);

How do I remove the pre-existing "CREATE " and "VIEW " option of the module? How do I remove the default menu items?

There are 2 ways to do this.

  1. initialise whole array again , ie $module_menu = array();
  2. Use unset to remove Pre-Existing Menus.
