It has been many years that I was looking for this!
Finally, inspired by Turn "module menu filters" off for new users! which shows how to modify for new users, which was not my main concern since we are using the system since around 2009…
So finally i found how to acheive this but *** it is not upgrade safe *** so if someone did it in an upgrade safe way, I am interrested.
i must point out that this has been applied to 3 instances 7.8.x
using 7.8.28
First make sure your config.php file parameter shows (remove the “g”)
‘default_navigation_paradigm’ => ‘m’,
then open \include\MVC\View\SugarView.php
around line 566 (or close to it)
comment the 3 lines as shown with the "// (here) "
// See if they are using grouped tabs or not (removed in 6.0, returned in 6.1)
// (here) $user_navigation_paradigm = $current_user->getPreference(‘navigation_paradigm’);
// (here) if (!isset($user_navigation_paradigm)) {
$user_navigation_paradigm = $GLOBALS[‘sugar_config’][‘default_navigation_paradigm’];
// (here) }
save the file, no need to rebuild the change is applied immediately, if you are in the system with the
other menu, click on the top menu to show dashboard and your menu will reorganize…
I hope this will help who wish to use it but remember that it is NOT upgrade safe…
