Thread: Changing Entity Page Title without changing Entity Alias

Changing Entity Page Title without changing Entity Alias Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I need to change the title of the Account page (to Organization) - but because of the amount of code / link controls that link back to the Account page, changing the Account Entity and/or Page Alias for Account is not feasible. In the Account.aspx.cs file there is a function for SetTitleBar() - this is the only remaining place I have not been able to change the instances of "Account" to "Organization" - which sets the title of the page to:

text = string.Format("{0} - {1}", Type.GetType(EntityTypeName).GetDisplayName(), entityContext.GetEntity());

I was able to successfully change the title with a slight hack:

if (Type.GetType(EntityTypeName).GetDisplayName() == "Account")
{
text = string.Format("Organization - {0}", entityContext.GetEntity());
}
else
{
text = string.Format("{0} - {1}", Type.GetType(EntityTypeName).GetDisplayName(), entityContext.GetEntity());
}

This occurs in Detail mode (There is a similar line for list mode). The problem is that I am not sure of the ramifications of changing this file (I assume it will be overwritten on my next redeploy). Does anyone know of a way to get this code recognized in AA, or is it a lost cause to reintegrate this change?

Brett,
Just change the Display Name and Plural Display name for the Account entity. That's where the page grabs the title from. It should not affect any links from other places as the page name is still the same. It's working fine in my env - which I know is pretty close to yours.

is it possible to remove the title and icon alltogether from the account list and detail view? The title space seems to take up some unnecesary screen space which seems wasted. If I remove the name from the entity and the icon it defaults to Sage SalesLogix.

You could hide the div that this appears in by modifying the base/master master page. Near line 421 (in 7.5.3) there's a div named "center_panel_north_content". Inside of this is another div named "localTitle". Yopu can add the following to hide teh enetiy title and graphic:

style="visibility:hidden"

However, this will not save any real estate as teh group button is also on that same line. You would have to hide the entire panel, which would not allow the use fo teh "Groups" button on the right hand side of the page. Other work would be needed to move everything else up if you wish to take this route.

Also note that you will have to re-apply these customizations for every upgrade. In short, I would reccomend against it.
