Custom Menu

c1nco

Hello,

I am trying to create a menu that sits at a custom location in a Theme I am working on. Are there $variables that already link to the base modules (contacts, companies, calendar, tasks)?

I found {$home.href} which links to the home/dashboard, but haven't had luck with the the rest. Any suggestions.

Thank you for looking.

Smarty template gets variables that are passed by PHP code. You have to check what variables are available looking at PHP code of the body method in certain module. In your case it would be Base/Box/Box_0.php body method. I don't see any links passed to the template.

However it's not recommended, but sometimes useful to call PHP code in smarty template using {php} {/php} tags. You can create any callback href here.
I think that is solution for you.

Thank you very much for your response.

Not to be a nuisance, but I am having a hard time trying to understand implement this. Can you provide me at least one working example, I am sure I can learn the rest from there. Thank you.

But working example of what? 😉

PHP code in smarty templates? Use google.
Creating custom menu from smarty template? There isn't any. Every menu entry can be placed in additional three places: QuickAccess menu, Launchpad, ActionBar on dashboard. It's configurable per user. Maybe you should dig into this features and utilize one.

I dont mind hacking at the template and I understand how to include php...

What I CANT figure out is what the dang links are to specific areas SPECIFICALLY (CALENDAR, CONTACTS, COMPANIES, TASKS)

How do I create this:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="goto(CALENDER)">Calendar</a>

I look art source of page and I see this:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="_chj('parent_module=CRM_Calendar&box_main_href=74928e026499faf1fe2865962dbec125', '', '');">

Where does this "74928e026499faf1fe2865962dbec125" come from and does it ever change?

Simply put: What is the best way to build links to specific areas of the crm??? (and if you can show me a working example, it would be helpful)

Thank You

One possible solution.

In Module main scope.



        // to push Tasks module

        $href = $this->create_callback_href(array('Base_BoxCommon', 'push_module'), 'CRM_Tasks');

        echo "<a $href>tasks</a>";
