Sugar Developer Guide Version 5.1

Layout Defs

This is the file that contains the related modules to create subpanels for. It is stored in the $layout_defs array $layout_defs[<module>]['subpanel_setup'][<related_module>].

This example is from the account metadata/subpaneldefs.php

'contacts' => array(

'order' => 30,// the order in which this subpanel is displayed with other subpanels

'module' => 'Contacts',

'subpanel_name' => 'default', // in this case, it will use ./modules/Contacts/subpanels/default.php

'get_subpanel_data' => 'contacts',

'add_subpanel_data' => 'contact_id',

'title_key' => 'LBL_CONTACTS_SUBPANEL_TITLE',

'top_buttons' => array( // this array defines the top buttons

array('widget_class' => 'SubPanelTopCreateAccountNameButton'),

array('widget_class' => 'SubPanelTopSelectButton', 'mode'=>'MultiSelect')

),

),

In the language file for the module containing the subpanel, the following values need to be added.

•	The reference used in 'title_key' as shown above

•	In the example, it would be $mod_strings['LBL_CONTACTS_SUBPANEL_TITLE'] = 'Contacts';

•	The reference used in 'vname' as shown in the vardefs section

In the example, it would be $mod_strings['LBL_CASES'] = 'Cases';
