Hide "Dev" versions from AdminYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Greetings,

Is there a way to "Hide" versions of plugs from the "Admin" user? (SLX 7.5)

I have several custom mods (screens and toolbars) that we no longer use, but I do not want to delete because there may be a time when we go back to them.
I have them set to not be released, but when I log in to the client as "Admin" they of course show up. (very annoying with the toolbars)

I did a quick "test" with the plugins table and changed the "Dev" field to F.. but that did not help.

Any other Ideas?

Move them to another database....or bundle them up and then delete them.

Or you could save them using another name in the Personal directory. Establish a simple naming convention such as "Hide_"+formname. Then delete the original.

That sounds like it would just update the author, and I'm not sure that would hide the record - but I thought I might check and see if updating the UserID or LockedID on the plugin record itself might do the trick, and those didn't work either.

The best way, if you don't want to bundle & delete, archive & delete, or just delete, is to directly update the type of the plugin record. I think it would be easiest to just add a "1" in front of the type that's already there. So, for a tab, I would use 128, and for a menu (useful in version 7.0 and later), I would use a 114. Doesn't seem to break SalesLogix, and it will retain - after the 1 - the original type so you won't have to remember what type the plugin was, and so you can also query / pull a list all the "hidden" plugins of that type at a later date.

Then, at a later date, if you wish to review all the hidden toolbars, tabs, or menus visually, you can update the plugin records and reset the types (and maybe set Family = 'Hidden' for easy identification).

(Quick Edit) - when I say "the best way", I mean "the best way in my opinion". Undoubtedly, in this forum, someone will come up with a better way
