[SOLVED] Modify the contacts screen

[sn1405]

How to change the fields label of contacts screen (This page is accessed via Business Process Automation > Communication Management > Contacts>New).
If we enter into the we have a Contact ID, first name, location, phone1, email address etc. I want to change these labels and I want to delete the new and top button which is located in the same screen. (i.e.in the contacts screen).Iam planning to do this by directly modifying the xsl files.

Re: Modify the contacts screen

How are you planning to do this? Through Screenset Customization or by directly modifying the xsl files?

I don't think its possible through Screensets.

"Iam planning to do this is BY DIRECTLY MODIFYING THE XSL FILES". I deleted some fields which i don't require, this I did by diectly modifying the xsl files.

Re: Modify the contacts screen

The fields Contact ID, first name, location, phone1, email address etc are in the file web/xsl/contact/CommonContact.xsl . search for the template 'personContact' and you will find all these fields. You can change the labels here.

But please be informed that this 'CommonContact.xsl' is a common file accessed across different UI. So if you change the labels here, it will reflect at all other places. An alternative would be to create your own xsl (similar to commoncontact.xsl) and implement your changes here.

For removing the 'top' button, delete this code from the web/xsl/contact/PersonContactManager.xsl

<

td>

<xsl:call-template name="topbutton">

<xsl:with-param name="label"><xsl:value-of select="translator:get-translated-value('button.top')"/></xsl:with-param>

<xsl:with-param name="width"/>

<xsl:with-param name="href">#top</xsl:with-param>

</xsl:call-template>

</td>

For removing the 'new' button, add the following code in the navigation template(<xsl:call-template name="navigation">) in the above mentioned xsl.

<xsl:with-param name="enter_new">false</xsl:with-param>

Hope this helps

Re: Modify the contacts screen

You will have to add this 'field.customer/xid' in the Translation.csv and Translation_D_en.csv and do an update_one_csv to upload the translations to the database. Restart your servers.
