I have the need to change all instances of 'Opportunity' to 'Deal' in SLX Web.  I have made all the changes but there is one I can't seem to change.  When I click on the opportunities level, a toolbar menu shows up at the top called 'Opportunities', containing the items 'Update Multiple Opportunities' and 'Opportunity Statistics'.  Does anyone know where I can go to change these values?  I was told it's something that is hard-coded in a SLX dll, so I'm not sure if it's something that can be adjusted, but where there's a will there's a way, right?

Thanks in advance!

Well, there are ways to get around it:

First of all, the Opportunity Menu can simply be relabeled as follows (add this javascript to the Base.Master file):

$(".x-btn-text:contains('Opportunities')").text('Deals'); 

That however doesn't give you access to the SubMenu items (because they don't exist when the page loads, but are created dynamically when the Menu is expanded).

Now, if you analyze the Toolbar, you'll notice that on the Base.Master file, the toolbar is a reference to a "Worspace:ToolbarWorkspace" object. This object renders a Span and some Javascript, which you could replace completely and just add code to render your own Script in place that would have your Own Captions built into them.

Thanks for your response, Raul.  I was able to change the title of menu easily, but couldn't figure out how to change the titles for the menu items.  I don't need to change the functionality of either of these - I just need to change the captions.  Shouldn't these be stored in a resource file somewhere, even if the menu items are created dynamically?

 <workSpace:ToolbarWorkspace runat="server" ID="ToolBar" CssClass="floatleft"></workSpace:ToolbarWorkspace>

                    <div id="ssDrowdown" class="ssdropdown" onmouseover="this.className='ssdropdownhighlite'" onmouseout="javascript:MenuBtnLeave(this)" onclick="javascript:ShowMenuItem()">

                        <asp:Image ID="imgSSOptions" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/blue/menuDropDown.gif" 

                            ImageAlign="Middle" AlternateText="<%$ resources: SpeedSearchOptions %>" />

                        </div>

                    <div id="SSButtons" class="ssbutton" onmouseover="this.className='ssbuttonhighlite'" onmouseout="this.className='ssbutton'">

             <asp:ImageButton ID="Search1"  runat="server" Width="12" Height="12" ImageUrl="~/images/icons/Speed_Search_16x16.gif" ImageAlign="Middle" OnClick="Search1_Click" AlternateText="<%$ resources: Search %>"  />

                        </div>

                    <div id="ssTextDiv" style="float:right;">

                        <asp:TextBox ID="SearchText" runat="server" style="width:150px;height:16px;padding-left:3px;" Text="<%$ resources: SpeedSearch %>" CssClass="tboxinfo" onfocus="checkSSText(this)" onkeydown="javascript:HandleEnterKeyMaster(event, this.id)"></asp:TextBox></div>

 

Can anyone help with this?

This has been an issue since web came out and there is no "nice" answers.

You can try a hack we did to modify the Edit Address dialog (embedded in a sage dll)

we added the following code to the base.master just after the

    <form id="mainform" runat="server" style="width:100%; height:100%;">

    <form id="mainform" runat="server" style="width:100%; height:100%;">
          ...
    </form>

    <!-- roduction Code added to customize the address edit screen -->   
    <script type="text/javascript">  
     try
     {
         AddressControl.fixUp = AddressControl.fixUp || {};
         AddressControl.fixUp.createFormItems = AddressControl.prototype.createFormItems;
         AddressControl.prototype.createFormItems = function() {
                for (var i = 0; i < this._fields.length; i++)
                {
                    if (this._fields[i].name == "county" || this._fields[i].name == "attention")
                        this._fields[i].visible = false;
                    if (this._fields[i].name == "state")
                        this._fields[i].fieldLabel = "State/Province:";              
                }
             return AddressControl.fixUp.createFormItems.call(this); 
         };
      }
     catch (Exception) {}
    </script> 

Now this can go after almost anything, we limited it to reduce conflicts with other forms, but the idea is here.

In your case you'd need to look for all properties containing "opportunity" ... it could be slow.

Run wild at your own peril

Thanks, Lane.  This makes sense, but how would I apply it to the Opportunities menu. So, instead of "AddressControl", I would need an OpportunityMenu object or something along those lines.  I'm rather new to SalesLogix so please forgive if my questions are elementary. 

Hi. Opportunity menu hardcoded in Sage.SalesLogix.Client.Opportunity.Modules.resources.dll. This is a resource assembly. It is used in Sage.SalesLogix.Client.Opportunity.Modules.dll. To change the menu, it is necessary to replace the assembly on its own, with the right names submenu. Once the correct assembly is ready, it should be put Portal -> SalesLogix -> SupportedFiles -> Bin. Then open the Opportunity Detail Page,Modules tab to insert our assembly, Run in mode = List. And the old assembly to remove.

The code for the assembly:
