Hi Prasad,



I'm working with Russian language pack and met some problems.

Till now I've noticed 5 bugs with strlen and substr. I'll ready to fix them
using Vtiger track, but i ask you to include the phputf8 library (
http://phputf8.sourceforge.net/ ) into the vtiger core
(vtigerCRM\include\phputf8). It work's fine on many projects (for example
Joomla!), and it doing well with VTiger.

The other thing that by default the GraphUtils.php uses Vera font:
    line 27: DEFINE("FF_FONT1",'Vera');
but it has no Cyrillic support. Probably it's better to change it to Arial.
Will it be right if I add this issue on track.

The last thing I think deals with any localisation. In Smarty Template
'Smarty/templates/ListViewEntries.tpl':
line 135:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND} !
line 172:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND}
!</span></td>
In both cases the plural form is added in template, that is absolutely
unsuitable for localisation.

For now we solve it by adding all this core (and template) files to language
pack that is totally incorrect. What can be the solution?




Best regards,
Denys Potapov

Hello all,

I saw a thread in December about PostgreSQL support for VTiger. Jens
Hamisch had done a fair amount of work to achieving this goal and I am
wondering on the current status.

Hey, everyone...

I've been lurking on this list for quite a while (could be 2 years!) For over 2 years, now, my company has been doing customization work on vTiger, most of it on a highly customized installation that is still running v4.2.

The customizations are so extensive, and the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 was so rocky that the client has never been willing to make the move. They still aren't. 

However, we just got permission from them to contribute any useful modifications and modules to the project. Hooray! My company is willing to provide at least some amount of work to make the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 for these components, but I wanted to post a short annotated list to find out whether any of these pieces might be of interest to the community, and if so, how they might be prioritized. 

Here's the list. Please let me know what you think. Any of these sound interesting?

--------
1. Auto-Email Standardization 

Our client found the vTiger email notification stuff disconcerting. Reasons for emails going out were not clearly enumerated or codified, and control over these emails was limited at best. We wrote a framework that provides a series of Auto-Email categories:
  * entity-created: sends when an entity of the chosen type is created
  * entity-altered: sends when an entity of the chosen type is altered
  * entity-deleted: sends when an entity of the chosen type is deleted
  * value-triggered: sends when a set of value conditions on an entity of the chosen type is met (can be scheduled, or reactive--on save)
  * scheduled custom: executes a custom function on schedule
  * scheduled report: emails a report on schedule

A wide variety of options exist for sending the email notifications:
  * send to arbitrary email address(es)
  * send to user(s)
  * send to contact(s)
  * send to assigned user
  * send to team
  * do not send to triggering user
  * can send attachments

Schedules can be set yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, each minute

Subject and body are template-driven, allowing parameters from triggering entities of the chosen type.

-------------------------------

2. Google Earth Report Integration

Provides a configuration tool (part of the report specification) that allows report attributes to be output within the context of a real-time KML feed as parts of a placemark. As an example, you can visualize the results of a report...say a report on your Accounts...in Google Earth...see the geographic distribution of your Accounts.

-------------------------------

3. Improvements to Uploads/File Attachments to Entities

Implements per-entity-type file repositories that can have internal folder hierarchies and maintain per-entity folders (no more clobbering files of the same name that were uploaded/attached to a different entity). Utilizes a JavaScript file browser, and allows vTiger to maintain file permissions on files and folders (optional). 

--------------------------------

4. Timesheets

I know TSolucio has one of these. We tried it out and it didn't match the needs we had very well. I suspect we'll just provide this one as an alternative to the TSolucio one from our website, just in case someone else's needs are more closely aligned with the ones our client had.

---------------------------------

5. Report Folder Permissions / Personal Report Folders

We added Reports to the profile management functionality, and added a personal "My Reports" folder for each user. You can hide report folders from some users, allow certain users to create new reports or manage certain folders, etc. Each user has their own My Reports folder where they can create reports of their own. When users have access to view a Report (but not edit it) and they want to customize it, they can clone it to their My Reports folder and modify it there. 

-----------------------------------

6. Custom Field Improvements

We put the custom fields inside a tabbed (JS) block. Added Custom Field management functionality that allows admin users to create more tabs, blocks, and sub-blocks, arranging (and rearranging) custom fields within them. Really useful when you have a lot of custom fields. When multiple tabs have not been created, the Custom Fields block looks as it normally does. Also allows Custom Fields to be renamed.

------------------------------------


As I said, we'd love to hear feedback on these. If there's anything that the vTiger project can use, we'd be happy to contribute them. We've done a lot of work with vTiger, and it's been a huge success both for us and for our client. It would be great to have the opportunity to contribute back.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Really a good piece of work. I would like to thank you and your client(s)
for deciding to contribute back.

If you can share code with us with more details that will make it easy to
analyze it further.

Regards,
Prasad

Hey...

Thanks, folks, for your kind words. I would be remiss to not mention my client, who have generously agreed to contribute this work that they paid for. They are Sutherland-Schultz Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. (www.sutherland-schultz.com) 

It looks like this is the way to proceed. I think what I'll do is start pulling together some screenshots and example code chunks for each of the features, and send them to Prasad so they can check them out more carefully.

As I said, these components are all v4.2, plus (as you may imagine) they have some client-specific parts that we will want to excise (stuff that I don't think is very useful for the community at large) before they are contributed. The upshot is that it will take a little bit of work (read *time*) to port these to 5.0.x. 

That is to some extent why I wanted to check on priorities. If there are certain things that would be *really* helpful to someone, I could see us prioritizing them so that we do those first. Not sure we'll be able to get everything together for a single version release (thanks for the nod, anyway, David) but we'll see what we can do ;)

If anybody else is *really* interested in getting something moving *very* quickly and is willing to help with the port of that feature, we might be able to arrange that. 

Prasad, should I send the code to you, or should I just post it here?

peace,
Nolan

hi
i think the most important upgrade is the 6. Custom Field Improvements
this should go first.

I can help with the porting. I am interested in Custom Field Improvement 
as well. I have some experience in block and JS. I would be more than 
happy to port that over to 5.0.4.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Thank you very much for taking more initiative. Kindly share code with me
and also put CC to out developer list
This way our developers can enhance the interesting feature a bit more.

It will definitely take more time for us to analyze the code contribution,
so please be patient till then.

Hope you don't mind if we get back to you for any clarifications.

Regards,
Prasad

Hi David,

What changes did you make to change the blocks for the custom field?

Can you please check if without change the blocks, the custom field can be
disabled for the profile?

Hi All,

I have been contracted by IMED Mobility to create a vtigerCRM email list
system. The design we have accorded with Imed, has more or less the same
goals as Peaceworks/Sutherland-Schultz number 1 extension.
Imed decided to fund the development of the extension and release it as
an opensource extension on the forge.
I have been given permission to speak in their name and help Peaceworks
to port their extension to 5.0.4 and make it available to the community,
on the forge and in the base product if vtiger team sees it fit.
At the moment I would like to thank Peaceworks and Sutherland-Schultz
for there contribution.

Nolan, if you are interested in working with TSolucio drop me an email.
We will set up a forge project and port your mailing system to 5.0.4

Regards, Joe
TSolucio

Hi everybody,
besides the fact that all of these modules sound very interesting i 
think #6 is the most interesting for the majority of vTiger-users, as 
the custom fields do play a BIG role in setting up different setups of 
vTiger for different usage. The custom fields feature is a vast Plus 
within vtiger already, a little more extended makes it even vaster, to 
leave my few words on this.

And as always: If you wizards need an extensive themer /tester / 
documenter/ translator (native german/ native english) on anything 
around vTiger count me in.

Greetings
Torsten Zenk

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Hello and the webform module
Message-ID: <47FBDBD3.60602@gmail.com>

Sorry in advance - this is quite a long message...
----------

Hello.

I'm Alan, and I run an Open Source training, consulting and support 
services business here in the UK.

We have been "playing" with vtiger for some time and now would like to 
contribute something back.

I have recently been looking at the webform module and have some ideas, 
but I am struggling to get passed first base due to the db abstraction 
library and some rather obfuscated code...

Anyway, first, A brief idea of what I'd like to do with the webform module:

1. Abstract the client side so that there is minimal or no hardcoding of 
form parameters and eliminate the need for manual duplication of lists 
of php arrays in 5 or 6 places as is now the case.
2. Migrate the forms to be valid XHTML (no tables) with external 
stylesheet(s).
3. Option to notify admin or other vtiger user by email that a form has 
been submitted.
4. Introduce a nice and friendly form builder (probably using something 
like the dojo toolkit to give a good user experience).


With respect to the above I have done some work already.

1. During some initial hacking, the client end of the webform package 
now has a single array construct which holds the basic form field 
parameters and labels etc in config.php. This is the only place - on the 
client side - where changes need to be made to alter your form's basic 
field layout and structure. However, the interaction to the server is 
not fixed. The vtiger file soap/webform.php needs manually hacking in 
several places to match the client side configuration.
2. This is kind of done.
3. Sort of done. It works but the email notification is done at the 
client end. This depends on the client server having sendmail(). I'd 
like to move this function back to vtiger. Don't think it should be too 
hard, but haven't looked into it yet.
4. Not started

Completing "1." above is giving me a headache!

What I am trying to achieve is something along the following lines:

*Start the client end "form building process"
*Select the type of form you'd like to make/edit
*Upload the schema for the relevant fields from the user's vtiger 
installation and use that information to create the basic form layout 
data...

It is here's where I am stuck. Is there any decent documentation on the 
database abstraction library that is being used? I find even simple 
queries respond with vast amounts of superfluous data. For example a 
query like:

  "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'vtiger_".$form."%'"

responds with the data but also with a tremendous amount of noise. And 
with that particular query I can't seem to iterate through the result 
and filter it because of using a wildcard in the query. Any ideas?

My plan is generate an xml schema for the fields that are available for 
a particular kind of form. This would be used to generate the wsdl on 
vtiger and be cached in a local (client-side) file and only updated as 
and when necessary. The benefit being it will display any custom fields 
or should vtiger's schema change with a new release, no manual updating 
would be necessary.

The client side Form Builder would be able to use this data to build the 
initial UI and when the user has selected the fields to display etc, 
the "design" will be saved in an XHTML file for deployment along with a 
basic stylesheet.

**Any help with extracting the data from the db would be most helpful.**

I have looked at some of the functions in the MS word module (which gets 
the "lead" field structure for example, but no schema information) as a 
starting point but it doesn't go far enough and also has hardcoded wsdl 
structures.

I also have some ideas to develop the webform module further once I get 
the basics working:

Possibly use a Javascript SOAP library, so no client-side "server 
scripting" language like PHP would be needed at all (fully platform 
agnostic). Or, enable the form to be so standalone that other 
contributors could write client form processors in other languages like 
ASP, Ruby, Java etc...

Improvements in end-user functionality such as addition of optional 
calendar features for using the form for booking appointments/events, 
adding a unique UUID to individual mail campaign emails (or just 
campaigns) so when a new user hit's the form, we know how he got 
there... And a few others ideas too.

Sorry again for the length.

Alan

hey...

I agree with Torsten. The Custom Field stuff is important. For the same reason, actually, I think the Reports stuff is pretty valuable, too. Based on the replies so far, though...

1. I've submitted a request for a forge project for the AutoEmail stuff, and am in conversation with Joe on that. I'll make sure to keep this list apprised of any developments as things move forward there.

2. I'll start pulling together some of the Custom Field stuff tonight so that I can let people know what's all involved. I'm thinking that this particular one may be a fairly easy port to 5.0.4 if the decisions I made stand the test of community inspection. Even if not, I think it'll still be pretty quick. It's really not all that complex in the end.

peace,
Nolan

Hi Alan,

Good to see you got started on the developer list.

vtiger CRM uses adodb library: http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
Look at vtigercrm/include/database/PearDatabase.php which uses adodb
functions.

OK...

I'm not quite sure how to get started on this Custom Fields thing. Not having had the opportunity to contribute something substantial to this project, I'm not quite sure what the logistics should look like. 

So...what I've done is package up a first set of stuff, and attached it to this email as a zip. The zip includes:

* new files I added
* one file I massively altered: include/uifromdbutil.php
  - this file no longer exists, it's split between include/utils/EditViewUtil.php and DetailViewUtil.php, I believe
* one set of instructions for applying my changes to modules/Settings/AddCustomFieldToDB.php

In order to complete this, I'll need to either compile a whole bunch more instructions, or else make the changes to the 5.0.4 files myself. Here's where I ask for guidance. If I'm going to make the changes to the 5.0.4 files, I might as well do the port myself. However, going through the remaining files and making the instructions may not be less work. 

Any thoughts, anyone? I could provide diffs for branch 4.2 revision 7802 (that's where we branched), but I don't think those will help anyone, will they?

peace,
Nolan

Hi Nolan,

Good to see your code contribution. Providing the diffs would definitely be
useful.
Is it possible to include some screenshot to show the changes or
enhancements made?

Me too, but not for quite so long

Re custom fields, the biggest bind is that 'LINKED' Custom Fields do not 
cross update from say an Account to a Contact or vice versa as say the 
address fields do - there is no linking beyond the point where a Lead is 
converted to an Account/Potential - at that point they are entities in 
their own right.

I have had a play about with this for a while to see if I can get the 
fields to update with SQL triggers but am no coder and cannot get 
anything satisfactory - probably just lousy SQl syntax !

ANY improvement on the usability would be useful. If not, a change to 
the naming convention for 'LINKED' Custom Fields ;-)

Absolutely brilliant to see people contributing stuff back so many 
thanks to you and your clients !

Hi Gregory,

The leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off from the input values in the
following:

File: include/utils/CommonUtils.php
function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)

The highlighted line of code can help you to preserve the leading and
trailing spaces for Faq module record saving.
NOTE: This code is based on vtiger 5.0.4

function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)
{
    global $log;
    ...
    if(isset($_REQUEST['mode']))
    {
        $focus->mode = $_REQUEST['mode'];
    }
    foreach($focus->column_fields as $fieldname => $val)
    {
        if(isset($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
        {
            if(is_array($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Faq')
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else
                $value = trim($_REQUEST[$fieldname]);
            $focus->column_fields[$fieldname] = $value;
        }

Hope you find this useful.

Hi Nolan,

I agree with you. Security on Reports is also very important stuff. I would
like to know the update on it and would be great if we can getting it ported
to 5.0.4.

Let me know if I can help you in this.

Hi List, im working for to port Vtiger 5.0.3 and 5.0.4 to Oracle, and im
working too in to implement a customized Price Book (List of prices) by
client, and improve the module for to have accounts/contacts by list and
products by list and management of profitability by list of products and
customized profitability of product in some list of prices. My question
is: How i work for that the improves are evaluated and integrated in
vtiger by default, how I work with other persons interested in help to
port vtiger to oracle,really the oracle support need changes in the names
of the tables, because the actual names present troubles for the max size
of name in oracle.

Im expecting for yours recomendations, it would be a fork named vtiger x
oracle meanwhile this updates are integrated in the official version.

Im expecting of yours comments and suggestions,

Leandro Rache.

Hi Leandro,

I would recommend you to create a project of forge for which can serve as an
add-on
for vtiger 5.0.4 to work with Oracle. This give our community direct access
and
they will be able to provide more support to your work.

Message-ID: <d09d4a7b0804220810t75457ebbs17a002e2edcac89e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys,

I need a little help, I posted on the forum a question but didn't get any
answer yet (http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=64151)
I am trying to display a custom field in a list view, for exemple the sale
order list in a specific account should display my custom field cf_354.
In 4.2.3 I made it work but cannot get it working with the same method in
5.0.4:

In salesorder.php I add my custom field in

    var $list_fields = Array(
                'Order No'=>Array('crmentity'=>'crmid'),
                'Subject'=>Array('salesorder'=>'subject'),
                'Account Name'=>Array('account'=>'accountid'),
                'Quote Name'=>Array('quotes'=>'quoteid'),
               * 'My Custom field'=>Array('salesordercf'=>'cf_354'),*
                'Total'=>Array('salesorder'=>'total'),
                'Assigned To'=>Array('crmentity'=>'smownerid')
                );

    var $list_fields_name = Array(
                        'Order No'=>'',
                        'Subject'=>'subject',
                        'Account Name'=>'account_id',
                        'Quote Name'=>'quote_id',
                       * 'My Custom field'=>'cf_354',*
                        'Total'=>'hdnGrandTfdotal',
                        'Assigned To'=>'assigned_user_id'
                      );

I also had a look for an error in the log, but none is logged..
If somebody get it working with the exact same method as in 4.2.3, I would
be glad to know(It would mean that I made a mistake) else if somebody get it
to work on 5.0.4, I would be very thankful for an hint.

Bye guys,
Clem

Dear Team,

As a starting point, the vQuickBooks add-on is developed to synchronize the
Contacts from vtigerCRM and Customer List from QuickBooks via the QuickBooks
- WebConnector.

The Basic QuickBooks Integration frame work (free package - done by Keith
Palmer) is used to develop this add-on. We welcome more questions, results
and code contributions from our members to take this add-on into next level.

Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Dear Keith,

We are glad to hear about the support you are extending for getting vtiger
QuickBooks integration.

I had a question: Is it possible to make WebConnector Application work
without https?

Hi Prasad,



I'm working with Russian language pack and met some problems.

Till now I've noticed 5 bugs with strlen and substr. I'll ready to fix them
using Vtiger track, but i ask you to include the phputf8 library (
http://phputf8.sourceforge.net/ ) into the vtiger core
(vtigerCRM\include\phputf8). It work's fine on many projects (for example
Joomla!), and it doing well with VTiger.

The other thing that by default the GraphUtils.php uses Vera font:
    line 27: DEFINE("FF_FONT1",'Vera');
but it has no Cyrillic support. Probably it's better to change it to Arial.
Will it be right if I add this issue on track.

The last thing I think deals with any localisation. In Smarty Template
'Smarty/templates/ListViewEntries.tpl':
line 135:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND} !
line 172:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND}
!</span></td>
In both cases the plural form is added in template, that is absolutely
unsuitable for localisation.

For now we solve it by adding all this core (and template) files to language
pack that is totally incorrect. What can be the solution?




Best regards,
Denys Potapov

I saw a thread in December about PostgreSQL support for VTiger. Jens

wondering on the current status.

Hey, everyone...

I've been lurking on this list for quite a while (could be 2 years!) For over 2 years, now, my company has been doing customization work on vTiger, most of it on a highly customized installation that is still running v4.2.

The customizations are so extensive, and the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 was so rocky that the client has never been willing to make the move. They still aren't. 

However, we just got permission from them to contribute any useful modifications and modules to the project. Hooray! My company is willing to provide at least some amount of work to make the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 for these components, but I wanted to post a short annotated list to find out whether any of these pieces might be of interest to the community, and if so, how they might be prioritized. 

Here's the list. Please let me know what you think. Any of these sound interesting?

--------
1. Auto-Email Standardization 

Our client found the vTiger email notification stuff disconcerting. Reasons for emails going out were not clearly enumerated or codified, and control over these emails was limited at best. We wrote a framework that provides a series of Auto-Email categories:
  * entity-created: sends when an entity of the chosen type is created
  * entity-altered: sends when an entity of the chosen type is altered
  * entity-deleted: sends when an entity of the chosen type is deleted
  * value-triggered: sends when a set of value conditions on an entity of the chosen type is met (can be scheduled, or reactive--on save)
  * scheduled custom: executes a custom function on schedule
  * scheduled report: emails a report on schedule

A wide variety of options exist for sending the email notifications:
  * send to arbitrary email address(es)
  * send to user(s)
  * send to contact(s)
  * send to assigned user
  * send to team
  * do not send to triggering user
  * can send attachments

Schedules can be set yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, each minute

Subject and body are template-driven, allowing parameters from triggering entities of the chosen type.

-------------------------------

2. Google Earth Report Integration

Provides a configuration tool (part of the report specification) that allows report attributes to be output within the context of a real-time KML feed as parts of a placemark. As an example, you can visualize the results of a report...say a report on your Accounts...in Google Earth...see the geographic distribution of your Accounts.

-------------------------------

3. Improvements to Uploads/File Attachments to Entities

Implements per-entity-type file repositories that can have internal folder hierarchies and maintain per-entity folders (no more clobbering files of the same name that were uploaded/attached to a different entity). Utilizes a JavaScript file browser, and allows vTiger to maintain file permissions on files and folders (optional). 

--------------------------------

4. Timesheets

I know TSolucio has one of these. We tried it out and it didn't match the needs we had very well. I suspect we'll just provide this one as an alternative to the TSolucio one from our website, just in case someone else's needs are more closely aligned with the ones our client had.

---------------------------------

5. Report Folder Permissions / Personal Report Folders

We added Reports to the profile management functionality, and added a personal "My Reports" folder for each user. You can hide report folders from some users, allow certain users to create new reports or manage certain folders, etc. Each user has their own My Reports folder where they can create reports of their own. When users have access to view a Report (but not edit it) and they want to customize it, they can clone it to their My Reports folder and modify it there. 

-----------------------------------

6. Custom Field Improvements

We put the custom fields inside a tabbed (JS) block. Added Custom Field management functionality that allows admin users to create more tabs, blocks, and sub-blocks, arranging (and rearranging) custom fields within them. Really useful when you have a lot of custom fields. When multiple tabs have not been created, the Custom Fields block looks as it normally does. Also allows Custom Fields to be renamed.

------------------------------------


As I said, we'd love to hear feedback on these. If there's anything that the vTiger project can use, we'd be happy to contribute them. We've done a lot of work with vTiger, and it's been a huge success both for us and for our client. It would be great to have the opportunity to contribute back.

Hey...

Thanks, folks, for your kind words. I would be remiss to not mention my client, who have generously agreed to contribute this work that they paid for. They are Sutherland-Schultz Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. (www.sutherland-schultz.com) 

It looks like this is the way to proceed. I think what I'll do is start pulling together some screenshots and example code chunks for each of the features, and send them to Prasad so they can check them out more carefully.

As I said, these components are all v4.2, plus (as you may imagine) they have some client-specific parts that we will want to excise (stuff that I don't think is very useful for the community at large) before they are contributed. The upshot is that it will take a little bit of work (read *time*) to port these to 5.0.x. 

That is to some extent why I wanted to check on priorities. If there are certain things that would be *really* helpful to someone, I could see us prioritizing them so that we do those first. Not sure we'll be able to get everything together for a single version release (thanks for the nod, anyway, David) but we'll see what we can do ;)

If anybody else is *really* interested in getting something moving *very* quickly and is willing to help with the port of that feature, we might be able to arrange that. 

Prasad, should I send the code to you, or should I just post it here?

peace,
Nolan

I can help with the porting. I am interested in Custom Field Improvement 
as well. I have some experience in block and JS. I would be more than 
happy to port that over to 5.0.4.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Thank you very much for taking more initiative. Kindly share code with me
and also put CC to out developer list
This way our developers can enhance the interesting feature a bit more.

It will definitely take more time for us to analyze the code contribution,
so please be patient till then.

Hope you don't mind if we get back to you for any clarifications.

Regards,
Prasad

Hi David,

What changes did you make to change the blocks for the custom field?

Can you please check if without change the blocks, the custom field can be
disabled for the profile?

Hi All,

I have been contracted by IMED Mobility to create a vtigerCRM email list
system. The design we have accorded with Imed, has more or less the same
goals as Peaceworks/Sutherland-Schultz number 1 extension.
Imed decided to fund the development of the extension and release it as
an opensource extension on the forge.
I have been given permission to speak in their name and help Peaceworks
to port their extension to 5.0.4 and make it available to the community,
on the forge and in the base product if vtiger team sees it fit.
At the moment I would like to thank Peaceworks and Sutherland-Schultz
for there contribution.

Nolan, if you are interested in working with TSolucio drop me an email.
We will set up a forge project and port your mailing system to 5.0.4

Regards, Joe
TSolucio

Hi everybody,
besides the fact that all of these modules sound very interesting i 
think #6 is the most interesting for the majority of vTiger-users, as 
the custom fields do play a BIG role in setting up different setups of 
vTiger for different usage. The custom fields feature is a vast Plus 
within vtiger already, a little more extended makes it even vaster, to 
leave my few words on this.

And as always: If you wizards need an extensive themer /tester / 
documenter/ translator (native german/ native english) on anything 
around vTiger count me in.

Greetings
Torsten Zenk

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Hello and the webform module
Message-ID: <47FBDBD3.60602@gmail.com>

Sorry in advance - this is quite a long message...
----------

Hello.

I'm Alan, and I run an Open Source training, consulting and support 
services business here in the UK.

We have been "playing" with vtiger for some time and now would like to 
contribute something back.

I have recently been looking at the webform module and have some ideas, 
but I am struggling to get passed first base due to the db abstraction 
library and some rather obfuscated code...

Anyway, first, A brief idea of what I'd like to do with the webform module:

1. Abstract the client side so that there is minimal or no hardcoding of 
form parameters and eliminate the need for manual duplication of lists 
of php arrays in 5 or 6 places as is now the case.
2. Migrate the forms to be valid XHTML (no tables) with external 
stylesheet(s).
3. Option to notify admin or other vtiger user by email that a form has 
been submitted.
4. Introduce a nice and friendly form builder (probably using something 
like the dojo toolkit to give a good user experience).


With respect to the above I have done some work already.

1. During some initial hacking, the client end of the webform package 
now has a single array construct which holds the basic form field 
parameters and labels etc in config.php. This is the only place - on the 
client side - where changes need to be made to alter your form's basic 
field layout and structure. However, the interaction to the server is 
not fixed. The vtiger file soap/webform.php needs manually hacking in 
several places to match the client side configuration.
2. This is kind of done.
3. Sort of done. It works but the email notification is done at the 
client end. This depends on the client server having sendmail(). I'd 
like to move this function back to vtiger. Don't think it should be too 
hard, but haven't looked into it yet.
4. Not started

Completing "1." above is giving me a headache!

What I am trying to achieve is something along the following lines:

*Start the client end "form building process"
*Select the type of form you'd like to make/edit
*Upload the schema for the relevant fields from the user's vtiger 
installation and use that information to create the basic form layout 
data...

It is here's where I am stuck. Is there any decent documentation on the 
database abstraction library that is being used? I find even simple 
queries respond with vast amounts of superfluous data. For example a 
query like:

  "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'vtiger_".$form."%'"

responds with the data but also with a tremendous amount of noise. And 
with that particular query I can't seem to iterate through the result 
and filter it because of using a wildcard in the query. Any ideas?

My plan is generate an xml schema for the fields that are available for 
a particular kind of form. This would be used to generate the wsdl on 
vtiger and be cached in a local (client-side) file and only updated as 
and when necessary. The benefit being it will display any custom fields 
or should vtiger's schema change with a new release, no manual updating 
would be necessary.

The client side Form Builder would be able to use this data to build the 
initial UI and when the user has selected the fields to display etc, 
the "design" will be saved in an XHTML file for deployment along with a 
basic stylesheet.

**Any help with extracting the data from the db would be most helpful.**

I have looked at some of the functions in the MS word module (which gets 
the "lead" field structure for example, but no schema information) as a 
starting point but it doesn't go far enough and also has hardcoded wsdl 
structures.

I also have some ideas to develop the webform module further once I get 
the basics working:

Possibly use a Javascript SOAP library, so no client-side "server 
scripting" language like PHP would be needed at all (fully platform 
agnostic). Or, enable the form to be so standalone that other 
contributors could write client form processors in other languages like 
ASP, Ruby, Java etc...

Improvements in end-user functionality such as addition of optional 
calendar features for using the form for booking appointments/events, 
adding a unique UUID to individual mail campaign emails (or just 
campaigns) so when a new user hit's the form, we know how he got 
there... And a few others ideas too.

Sorry again for the length.

Alan

hey...

I agree with Torsten. The Custom Field stuff is important. For the same reason, actually, I think the Reports stuff is pretty valuable, too. Based on the replies so far, though...

1. I've submitted a request for a forge project for the AutoEmail stuff, and am in conversation with Joe on that. I'll make sure to keep this list apprised of any developments as things move forward there.

2. I'll start pulling together some of the Custom Field stuff tonight so that I can let people know what's all involved. I'm thinking that this particular one may be a fairly easy port to 5.0.4 if the decisions I made stand the test of community inspection. Even if not, I think it'll still be pretty quick. It's really not all that complex in the end.

peace,
Nolan

Hi Alan,

Good to see you got started on the developer list.

vtiger CRM uses adodb library: http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
Look at vtigercrm/include/database/PearDatabase.php which uses adodb
functions.

OK...

I'm not quite sure how to get started on this Custom Fields thing. Not having had the opportunity to contribute something substantial to this project, I'm not quite sure what the logistics should look like. 

So...what I've done is package up a first set of stuff, and attached it to this email as a zip. The zip includes:

* new files I added
* one file I massively altered: include/uifromdbutil.php
  - this file no longer exists, it's split between include/utils/EditViewUtil.php and DetailViewUtil.php, I believe
* one set of instructions for applying my changes to modules/Settings/AddCustomFieldToDB.php

In order to complete this, I'll need to either compile a whole bunch more instructions, or else make the changes to the 5.0.4 files myself. Here's where I ask for guidance. If I'm going to make the changes to the 5.0.4 files, I might as well do the port myself. However, going through the remaining files and making the instructions may not be less work. 

Any thoughts, anyone? I could provide diffs for branch 4.2 revision 7802 (that's where we branched), but I don't think those will help anyone, will they?

peace,
Nolan

Hi Nolan,

Good to see your code contribution. Providing the diffs would definitely be
useful.
Is it possible to include some screenshot to show the changes or

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] thuderbird plugin not uploading the body for
	emails
Message-ID: <47FDF5C3.1050809@ct-net.org>

Hi
When I try and use the thunderbird plugin it loses the body of the 
message and replaces it with "


<div id="contents">

<div id="header">
<h1><img src="thunderbird_startpage.png" alt="Welcome to Thunderbird!" 
height="25" width="340"></h1>
<p>Mozilla?s Thunderbird email application is more powerful than ever. 
It?s now even easier to organize, secure and customize your mail.</p>
</div>

<p>Experience the difference. Thunderbird is developed and supported by 
<a href="/en-US/firefox/about/">Mozilla</a>, a global community working 
together to make the Internet a better place for everyone.</p>

<p>For frequently asked questions, tips and general help, visit <a 
href="http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/">Thunderbird Help 
Center</a>.</p>

<p>For product information, visit the <a 
href="/en-US/thunderbird/">Thunderbird Home Page</a>.</p>

<p id="footer">? 2005?2008 Mozilla</p>

</div>
"

what would cause this ?
i'm using thunderbird ver version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)
on fedora core 8 linux

thanks

Me too, but not for quite so long

Re custom fields, the biggest bind is that 'LINKED' Custom Fields do not 
cross update from say an Account to a Contact or vice versa as say the 
address fields do - there is no linking beyond the point where a Lead is 
converted to an Account/Potential - at that point they are entities in 
their own right.

I have had a play about with this for a while to see if I can get the 
fields to update with SQL triggers but am no coder and cannot get 
anything satisfactory - probably just lousy SQl syntax !

ANY improvement on the usability would be useful. If not, a change to 
the naming convention for 'LINKED' Custom Fields ;-)

Absolutely brilliant to see people contributing stuff back so many 
thanks to you and your clients !

Hi Gregory,

The leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off from the input values in the
following:

File: include/utils/CommonUtils.php
function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)

The highlighted line of code can help you to preserve the leading and
trailing spaces for Faq module record saving.
NOTE: This code is based on vtiger 5.0.4

function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)
{
    global $log;
    ...
    if(isset($_REQUEST['mode']))
    {
        $focus->mode = $_REQUEST['mode'];
    }
    foreach($focus->column_fields as $fieldname => $val)
    {
        if(isset($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
        {
            if(is_array($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Faq')
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else
                $value = trim($_REQUEST[$fieldname]);
            $focus->column_fields[$fieldname] = $value;
        }

Hope you find this useful.

Hi Nolan,

I agree with you. Security on Reports is also very important stuff. I would
like to know the update on it and would be great if we can getting it ported
to 5.0.4.

Let me know if I can help you in this.

Hi List, im working for to port Vtiger 5.0.3 and 5.0.4 to Oracle, and im
working too in to implement a customized Price Book (List of prices) by
client, and improve the module for to have accounts/contacts by list and
products by list and management of profitability by list of products and
customized profitability of product in some list of prices. My question
is: How i work for that the improves are evaluated and integrated in
vtiger by default, how I work with other persons interested in help to
port vtiger to oracle,really the oracle support need changes in the names
of the tables, because the actual names present troubles for the max size
of name in oracle.

Im expecting for yours recomendations, it would be a fork named vtiger x
oracle meanwhile this updates are integrated in the official version.

Im expecting of yours comments and suggestions,

Hi Leandro,

I would recommend you to create a project of forge for which can serve as an
add-on
for vtiger 5.0.4 to work with Oracle. This give our community direct access
and
they will be able to provide more support to your work.

Hi guys,

I need a little help, I posted on the forum a question but didn't get any
answer yet (http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=64151)
I am trying to display a custom field in a list view, for exemple the sale
order list in a specific account should display my custom field cf_354.
In 4.2.3 I made it work but cannot get it working with the same method in
5.0.4:

In salesorder.php I add my custom field in

    var $list_fields = Array(
                'Order No'=>Array('crmentity'=>'crmid'),
                'Subject'=>Array('salesorder'=>'subject'),
                'Account Name'=>Array('account'=>'accountid'),
                'Quote Name'=>Array('quotes'=>'quoteid'),
               * 'My Custom field'=>Array('salesordercf'=>'cf_354'),*
                'Total'=>Array('salesorder'=>'total'),
                'Assigned To'=>Array('crmentity'=>'smownerid')
                );

    var $list_fields_name = Array(
                        'Order No'=>'',
                        'Subject'=>'subject',
                        'Account Name'=>'account_id',
                        'Quote Name'=>'quote_id',
                       * 'My Custom field'=>'cf_354',*
                        'Total'=>'hdnGrandTfdotal',
                        'Assigned To'=>'assigned_user_id'
                      );

I also had a look for an error in the log, but none is logged..
If somebody get it working with the exact same method as in 4.2.3, I would
be glad to know(It would mean that I made a mistake) else if somebody get it
to work on 5.0.4, I would be very thankful for an hint.

Bye guys,
Clem

Dear Team,

As a starting point, the vQuickBooks add-on is developed to synchronize the
Contacts from vtigerCRM and Customer List from QuickBooks via the QuickBooks
- WebConnector.

The Basic QuickBooks Integration frame work (free package - done by Keith
Palmer) is used to develop this add-on. We welcome more questions, results
and code contributions from our members to take this add-on into next level.

Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Dear Keith,

We are glad to hear about the support you are extending for getting vtiger
QuickBooks integration.

I had a question: Is it possible to make WebConnector Application work
without https?

Hi Prasad,



I'm working with Russian language pack and met some problems.

Till now I've noticed 5 bugs with strlen and substr. I'll ready to fix them
using Vtiger track, but i ask you to include the phputf8 library (
http://phputf8.sourceforge.net/ ) into the vtiger core
(vtigerCRM\include\phputf8). It work's fine on many projects (for example
Joomla!), and it doing well with VTiger.

The other thing that by default the GraphUtils.php uses Vera font:
    line 27: DEFINE("FF_FONT1",'Vera');
but it has no Cyrillic support. Probably it's better to change it to Arial.
Will it be right if I add this issue on track.

The last thing I think deals with any localisation. In Smarty Template
'Smarty/templates/ListViewEntries.tpl':
line 135:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND} !
line 172:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND}
!</span></td>
In both cases the plural form is added in template, that is absolutely
unsuitable for localisation.

For now we solve it by adding all this core (and template) files to language
pack that is totally incorrect. What can be the solution?




Best regards,
Denys Potapov

Hey, everyone...

I've been lurking on this list for quite a while (could be 2 years!) For over 2 years, now, my company has been doing customization work on vTiger, most of it on a highly customized installation that is still running v4.2.

The customizations are so extensive, and the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 was so rocky that the client has never been willing to make the move. They still aren't. 

However, we just got permission from them to contribute any useful modifications and modules to the project. Hooray! My company is willing to provide at least some amount of work to make the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 for these components, but I wanted to post a short annotated list to find out whether any of these pieces might be of interest to the community, and if so, how they might be prioritized. 

Here's the list. Please let me know what you think. Any of these sound interesting?

--------
1. Auto-Email Standardization 

Our client found the vTiger email notification stuff disconcerting. Reasons for emails going out were not clearly enumerated or codified, and control over these emails was limited at best. We wrote a framework that provides a series of Auto-Email categories:
  * entity-created: sends when an entity of the chosen type is created
  * entity-altered: sends when an entity of the chosen type is altered
  * entity-deleted: sends when an entity of the chosen type is deleted
  * value-triggered: sends when a set of value conditions on an entity of the chosen type is met (can be scheduled, or reactive--on save)
  * scheduled custom: executes a custom function on schedule
  * scheduled report: emails a report on schedule

A wide variety of options exist for sending the email notifications:
  * send to arbitrary email address(es)
  * send to user(s)
  * send to contact(s)
  * send to assigned user
  * send to team
  * do not send to triggering user
  * can send attachments

Schedules can be set yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, each minute

Subject and body are template-driven, allowing parameters from triggering entities of the chosen type.

-------------------------------

2. Google Earth Report Integration

Provides a configuration tool (part of the report specification) that allows report attributes to be output within the context of a real-time KML feed as parts of a placemark. As an example, you can visualize the results of a report...say a report on your Accounts...in Google Earth...see the geographic distribution of your Accounts.

-------------------------------

3. Improvements to Uploads/File Attachments to Entities

Implements per-entity-type file repositories that can have internal folder hierarchies and maintain per-entity folders (no more clobbering files of the same name that were uploaded/attached to a different entity). Utilizes a JavaScript file browser, and allows vTiger to maintain file permissions on files and folders (optional). 

--------------------------------

4. Timesheets

I know TSolucio has one of these. We tried it out and it didn't match the needs we had very well. I suspect we'll just provide this one as an alternative to the TSolucio one from our website, just in case someone else's needs are more closely aligned with the ones our client had.

---------------------------------

5. Report Folder Permissions / Personal Report Folders

We added Reports to the profile management functionality, and added a personal "My Reports" folder for each user. You can hide report folders from some users, allow certain users to create new reports or manage certain folders, etc. Each user has their own My Reports folder where they can create reports of their own. When users have access to view a Report (but not edit it) and they want to customize it, they can clone it to their My Reports folder and modify it there. 

-----------------------------------

6. Custom Field Improvements

We put the custom fields inside a tabbed (JS) block. Added Custom Field management functionality that allows admin users to create more tabs, blocks, and sub-blocks, arranging (and rearranging) custom fields within them. Really useful when you have a lot of custom fields. When multiple tabs have not been created, the Custom Fields block looks as it normally does. Also allows Custom Fields to be renamed.

------------------------------------


As I said, we'd love to hear feedback on these. If there's anything that the vTiger project can use, we'd be happy to contribute them. We've done a lot of work with vTiger, and it's been a huge success both for us and for our client. It would be great to have the opportunity to contribute back. 

peace,
Nolan Andres

My company is willing to provide at least some amount of work to make the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 for these components, but I wanted to post a short annotated list to find out whether any of these pieces might be of interest to the community, and if so, how they might be prioritized. 

Here's the list. Please let me know what you think. Any of these sound interesting?

--------
1. Auto-Email Standardization 

Our client found the vTiger email notification stuff disconcerting. Reasons for emails going out were not clearly enumerated or codified, and control over these emails was limited at best. We wrote a framework that provides a series of Auto-Email categories:
  * entity-created: sends when an entity of the chosen type is created
  * entity-altered: sends when an entity of the chosen type is altered
  * entity-deleted: sends when an entity of the chosen type is deleted
  * value-triggered: sends when a set of value conditions on an entity of the chosen type is met (can be scheduled, or reactive--on save)
  * scheduled custom: executes a custom function on schedule
  * scheduled report: emails a report on schedule

A wide variety of options exist for sending the email notifications:
  * send to arbitrary email address(es)
  * send to user(s)
  * send to contact(s)
  * send to assigned user
  * send to team
  * do not send to triggering user
  * can send attachments

Schedules can be set yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, each minute

Subject and body are template-driven, allowing parameters from triggering entities of the chosen type.

-------------------------------

2. Google Earth Report Integration

Provides a configuration tool (part of the report specification) that allows report attributes to be output within the context of a real-time KML feed as parts of a placemark. As an example, you can visualize the results of a report...say a report on your Accounts...in Google Earth...see the geographic distribution of your Accounts.

-------------------------------

3. Improvements to Uploads/File Attachments to Entities

Implements per-entity-type file repositories that can have internal folder hierarchies and maintain per-entity folders (no more clobbering files of the same name that were uploaded/attached to a different entity). Utilizes a JavaScript file browser, and allows vTiger to maintain file permissions on files and folders (optional). 

--------------------------------

4. Timesheets

I know TSolucio has one of these. We tried it out and it didn't match the needs we had very well. I suspect we'll just provide this one as an alternative to the TSolucio one from our website, just in case someone else's needs are more closely aligned with the ones our client had.

---------------------------------

5. Report Folder Permissions / Personal Report Folders

We added Reports to the profile management functionality, and added a personal "My Reports" folder for each user. You can hide report folders from some users, allow certain users to create new reports or manage certain folders, etc. Each user has their own My Reports folder where they can create reports of their own. When users have access to view a Report (but not edit it) and they want to customize it, they can clone it to their My Reports folder and modify it there. 

-----------------------------------

6. Custom Field Improvements

We put the custom fields inside a tabbed (JS) block. Added Custom Field management functionality that allows admin users to create more tabs, blocks, and sub-blocks, arranging (and rearranging) custom fields within them. Really useful when you have a lot of custom fields. When multiple tabs have not been created, the Custom Fields block looks as it normally does. Also allows Custom Fields to be renamed.

------------------------------------


As I said, we'd love to hear feedback on these. If there's anything that the vTiger project can use, we'd be happy to contribute them. We've done a lot of work with vTiger, and it's been a huge success both for us and for our client. It would be great to have the opportunity to contribute back. 

peace,

Hi Nolan Andres,

Really a good piece of work. I would like to thank you and your client(s)
for deciding to contribute back.

If you can share code with us with more details that will make it easy to
analyze it further.

Hey...

Thanks, folks, for your kind words. I would be remiss to not mention my client, who have generously agreed to contribute this work that they paid for. They are Sutherland-Schultz Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. (www.sutherland-schultz.com) 

It looks like this is the way to proceed. I think what I'll do is start pulling together some screenshots and example code chunks for each of the features, and send them to Prasad so they can check them out more carefully.

As I said, these components are all v4.2, plus (as you may imagine) they have some client-specific parts that we will want to excise (stuff that I don't think is very useful for the community at large) before they are contributed. The upshot is that it will take a little bit of work (read *time*) to port these to 5.0.x. 

That is to some extent why I wanted to check on priorities. If there are certain things that would be *really* helpful to someone, I could see us prioritizing them so that we do those first. Not sure we'll be able to get everything together for a single version release (thanks for the nod, anyway, David) but we'll see what we can do ;)

If anybody else is *really* interested in getting something moving *very* quickly and is willing to help with the port of that feature, we might be able to arrange that. 

Prasad, should I send the code to you, or should I just post it here?

peace,
Nolan

I can help with the porting. I am interested in Custom Field Improvement 
as well. I have some experience in block and JS. I would be more than 
happy to port that over to 5.0.4.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Thank you very much for taking more initiative. Kindly share code with me
and also put CC to out developer list
This way our developers can enhance the interesting feature a bit more.

It will definitely take more time for us to analyze the code contribution,
so please be patient till then.

Hope you don't mind if we get back to you for any clarifications.

Regards,
Prasad

Hi David,

What changes did you make to change the blocks for the custom field?

Can you please check if without change the blocks, the custom field can be
disabled for the profile?

Hi All,

I have been contracted by IMED Mobility to create a vtigerCRM email list
system. The design we have accorded with Imed, has more or less the same
goals as Peaceworks/Sutherland-Schultz number 1 extension.
Imed decided to fund the development of the extension and release it as
an opensource extension on the forge.
I have been given permission to speak in their name and help Peaceworks
to port their extension to 5.0.4 and make it available to the community,
on the forge and in the base product if vtiger team sees it fit.
At the moment I would like to thank Peaceworks and Sutherland-Schultz
for there contribution.

Nolan, if you are interested in working with TSolucio drop me an email.
We will set up a forge project and port your mailing system to 5.0.4

Regards, Joe
TSolucio

Hi everybody,
besides the fact that all of these modules sound very interesting i 
think #6 is the most interesting for the majority of vTiger-users, as 
the custom fields do play a BIG role in setting up different setups of 
vTiger for different usage. The custom fields feature is a vast Plus 
within vtiger already, a little more extended makes it even vaster, to 
leave my few words on this.

And as always: If you wizards need an extensive themer /tester / 
documenter/ translator (native german/ native english) on anything 
around vTiger count me in.

Greetings
Torsten Zenk

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Hello and the webform module
Message-ID: <47FBDBD3.60602@gmail.com>

Sorry in advance - this is quite a long message...
----------

Hello.

I'm Alan, and I run an Open Source training, consulting and support 
services business here in the UK.

We have been "playing" with vtiger for some time and now would like to 
contribute something back.

I have recently been looking at the webform module and have some ideas, 
but I am struggling to get passed first base due to the db abstraction 
library and some rather obfuscated code...

Anyway, first, A brief idea of what I'd like to do with the webform module:

1. Abstract the client side so that there is minimal or no hardcoding of 
form parameters and eliminate the need for manual duplication of lists 
of php arrays in 5 or 6 places as is now the case.
2. Migrate the forms to be valid XHTML (no tables) with external 
stylesheet(s).
3. Option to notify admin or other vtiger user by email that a form has 
been submitted.
4. Introduce a nice and friendly form builder (probably using something 
like the dojo toolkit to give a good user experience).


With respect to the above I have done some work already.

1. During some initial hacking, the client end of the webform package 
now has a single array construct which holds the basic form field 
parameters and labels etc in config.php. This is the only place - on the 
client side - where changes need to be made to alter your form's basic 
field layout and structure. However, the interaction to the server is 
not fixed. The vtiger file soap/webform.php needs manually hacking in 
several places to match the client side configuration.
2. This is kind of done.
3. Sort of done. It works but the email notification is done at the 
client end. This depends on the client server having sendmail(). I'd 
like to move this function back to vtiger. Don't think it should be too 
hard, but haven't looked into it yet.
4. Not started

Completing "1." above is giving me a headache!

What I am trying to achieve is something along the following lines:

*Start the client end "form building process"
*Select the type of form you'd like to make/edit
*Upload the schema for the relevant fields from the user's vtiger 
installation and use that information to create the basic form layout 
data...

It is here's where I am stuck. Is there any decent documentation on the 
database abstraction library that is being used? I find even simple 
queries respond with vast amounts of superfluous data. For example a 
query like:

  "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'vtiger_".$form."%'"

responds with the data but also with a tremendous amount of noise. And 
with that particular query I can't seem to iterate through the result 
and filter it because of using a wildcard in the query. Any ideas?

My plan is generate an xml schema for the fields that are available for 
a particular kind of form. This would be used to generate the wsdl on 
vtiger and be cached in a local (client-side) file and only updated as 
and when necessary. The benefit being it will display any custom fields 
or should vtiger's schema change with a new release, no manual updating 
would be necessary.

The client side Form Builder would be able to use this data to build the 
initial UI and when the user has selected the fields to display etc, 
the "design" will be saved in an XHTML file for deployment along with a 
basic stylesheet.

**Any help with extracting the data from the db would be most helpful.**

I have looked at some of the functions in the MS word module (which gets 
the "lead" field structure for example, but no schema information) as a 
starting point but it doesn't go far enough and also has hardcoded wsdl 
structures.

I also have some ideas to develop the webform module further once I get 
the basics working:

Possibly use a Javascript SOAP library, so no client-side "server 
scripting" language like PHP would be needed at all (fully platform 
agnostic). Or, enable the form to be so standalone that other 
contributors could write client form processors in other languages like 
ASP, Ruby, Java etc...

Improvements in end-user functionality such as addition of optional 
calendar features for using the form for booking appointments/events, 
adding a unique UUID to individual mail campaign emails (or just 
campaigns) so when a new user hit's the form, we know how he got 
there... And a few others ideas too.

Sorry again for the length.

Alan

hey...

I agree with Torsten. The Custom Field stuff is important. For the same reason, actually, I think the Reports stuff is pretty valuable, too. Based on the replies so far, though...

1. I've submitted a request for a forge project for the AutoEmail stuff, and am in conversation with Joe on that. I'll make sure to keep this list apprised of any developments as things move forward there.

2. I'll start pulling together some of the Custom Field stuff tonight so that I can let people know what's all involved. I'm thinking that this particular one may be a fairly easy port to 5.0.4 if the decisions I made stand the test of community inspection. Even if not, I think it'll still be pretty quick. It's really not all that complex in the end.

peace,
Nolan

Hi Alan,

Good to see you got started on the developer list.

vtiger CRM uses adodb library: http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
Look at vtigercrm/include/database/PearDatabase.php which uses adodb
functions.

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Custom Fields enhancements...getting started
In-Reply-To: <10479955.131207805299108.JavaMail.root@zimbra>
Message-ID: <21806911.151207805303970.JavaMail.root@zimbra>

OK...

I'm not quite sure how to get started on this Custom Fields thing. Not having had the opportunity to contribute something substantial to this project, I'm not quite sure what the logistics should look like. 

So...what I've done is package up a first set of stuff, and attached it to this email as a zip. The zip includes:

* new files I added
* one file I massively altered: include/uifromdbutil.php
  - this file no longer exists, it's split between include/utils/EditViewUtil.php and DetailViewUtil.php, I believe
* one set of instructions for applying my changes to modules/Settings/AddCustomFieldToDB.php

In order to complete this, I'll need to either compile a whole bunch more instructions, or else make the changes to the 5.0.4 files myself. Here's where I ask for guidance. If I'm going to make the changes to the 5.0.4 files, I might as well do the port myself. However, going through the remaining files and making the instructions may not be less work. 

Any thoughts, anyone? I could provide diffs for branch 4.2 revision 7802 (that's where we branched), but I don't think those will help anyone, will they?

peace,
Nolan

Hi Nolan,

Good to see your code contribution. Providing the diffs would definitely be
useful.
Is it possible to include some screenshot to show the changes or
enhancements made?

Message-ID: <47FDF5C3.1050809@ct-net.org>

Hi
When I try and use the thunderbird plugin it loses the body of the 
message and replaces it with "


<div id="contents">

<div id="header">

height="25" width="340"></h1>
<p>Mozilla?s Thunderbird email application is more powerful than ever.

<p>Experience the difference. Thunderbird is developed and supported by

what would cause this ?
i'm using thunderbird ver version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

Me too, but not for quite so long

Re custom fields, the biggest bind is that 'LINKED' Custom Fields do not 
cross update from say an Account to a Contact or vice versa as say the 
address fields do - there is no linking beyond the point where a Lead is 
converted to an Account/Potential - at that point they are entities in 
their own right.

I have had a play about with this for a while to see if I can get the 
fields to update with SQL triggers but am no coder and cannot get 
anything satisfactory - probably just lousy SQl syntax !

ANY improvement on the usability would be useful. If not, a change to 
the naming convention for 'LINKED' Custom Fields ;-)

Absolutely brilliant to see people contributing stuff back so many 
thanks to you and your clients !

Hi Gregory,

The leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off from the input values in the
following:

File: include/utils/CommonUtils.php
function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)

The highlighted line of code can help you to preserve the leading and
trailing spaces for Faq module record saving.
NOTE: This code is based on vtiger 5.0.4

function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)
{
    global $log;
    ...
    if(isset($_REQUEST['mode']))
    {
        $focus->mode = $_REQUEST['mode'];
    }
    foreach($focus->column_fields as $fieldname => $val)
    {
        if(isset($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
        {
            if(is_array($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Faq')
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else
                $value = trim($_REQUEST[$fieldname]);
            $focus->column_fields[$fieldname] = $value;
        }

Hope you find this useful.

Prasad

Hi Nolan,

I agree with you. Security on Reports is also very important stuff. I would
like to know the update on it and would be great if we can getting it ported
to 5.0.4.

Let me know if I can help you in this.

Hi Leandro,

I would recommend you to create a project of forge for which can serve as an
add-on
for vtiger 5.0.4 to work with Oracle. This give our community direct access
and
they will be able to provide more support to your work.

Message-ID: <d09d4a7b0804220810t75457ebbs17a002e2edcac89e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys,

I need a little help, I posted on the forum a question but didn't get any
answer yet (http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=64151)
I am trying to display a custom field in a list view, for exemple the sale
order list in a specific account should display my custom field cf_354.
In 4.2.3 I made it work but cannot get it working with the same method in
5.0.4:

In salesorder.php I add my custom field in

    var $list_fields = Array(
                'Order No'=>Array('crmentity'=>'crmid'),
                'Subject'=>Array('salesorder'=>'subject'),
                'Account Name'=>Array('account'=>'accountid'),
                'Quote Name'=>Array('quotes'=>'quoteid'),
               * 'My Custom field'=>Array('salesordercf'=>'cf_354'),*
                'Total'=>Array('salesorder'=>'total'),
                'Assigned To'=>Array('crmentity'=>'smownerid')
                );

    var $list_fields_name = Array(
                        'Order No'=>'',
                        'Subject'=>'subject',
                        'Account Name'=>'account_id',
                        'Quote Name'=>'quote_id',
                       * 'My Custom field'=>'cf_354',*
                        'Total'=>'hdnGrandTfdotal',
                        'Assigned To'=>'assigned_user_id'
                      );

I also had a look for an error in the log, but none is logged..
If somebody get it working with the exact same method as in 4.2.3, I would
be glad to know(It would mean that I made a mistake) else if somebody get it
to work on 5.0.4, I would be very thankful for an hint.

Bye guys,
Clem

Dear Team,

As a starting point, the vQuickBooks add-on is developed to synchronize the
Contacts from vtigerCRM and Customer List from QuickBooks via the QuickBooks
- WebConnector.

The Basic QuickBooks Integration frame work (free package - done by Keith
Palmer) is used to develop this add-on. We welcome more questions, results
and code contributions from our members to take this add-on into next level.

Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Dear Keith,

We are glad to hear about the support you are extending for getting vtiger
QuickBooks integration.

I had a question: Is it possible to make WebConnector Application work
without https?

Hi Prasad,



I'm working with Russian language pack and met some problems.

Till now I've noticed 5 bugs with strlen and substr. I'll ready to fix them
using Vtiger track, but i ask you to include the phputf8 library (
http://phputf8.sourceforge.net/ ) into the vtiger core
(vtigerCRM\include\phputf8). It work's fine on many projects (for example
Joomla!), and it doing well with VTiger.

The other thing that by default the GraphUtils.php uses Vera font:
    line 27: DEFINE("FF_FONT1",'Vera');
but it has no Cyrillic support. Probably it's better to change it to Arial.
Will it be right if I add this issue on track.

The last thing I think deals with any localisation. In Smarty Template
'Smarty/templates/ListViewEntries.tpl':
line 135:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND} !
line 172:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND}
!</span></td>
In both cases the plural form is added in template, that is absolutely
unsuitable for localisation.

For now we solve it by adding all this core (and template) files to language
pack that is totally incorrect. What can be the solution?




Best regards,
Denys Potapov

Hey, everyone...

I've been lurking on this list for quite a while (could be 2 years!) For over 2 years, now, my company has been doing customization work on vTiger, most of it on a highly customized installation that is still running v4.2.

The customizations are so extensive, and the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 was so rocky that the client has never been willing to make the move. They still aren't. 

However, we just got permission from them to contribute any useful modifications and modules to the project. Hooray! My company is willing to provide at least some amount of work to make the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 for these components, but I wanted to post a short annotated list to find out whether any of these pieces might be of interest to the community, and if so, how they might be prioritized. 

Here's the list. Please let me know what you think. Any of these sound interesting?

--------
1. Auto-Email Standardization 

Our client found the vTiger email notification stuff disconcerting. Reasons for emails going out were not clearly enumerated or codified, and control over these emails was limited at best. We wrote a framework that provides a series of Auto-Email categories:
  * entity-created: sends when an entity of the chosen type is created
  * entity-altered: sends when an entity of the chosen type is altered
  * entity-deleted: sends when an entity of the chosen type is deleted
  * value-triggered: sends when a set of value conditions on an entity of the chosen type is met (can be scheduled, or reactive--on save)
  * scheduled custom: executes a custom function on schedule
  * scheduled report: emails a report on schedule

A wide variety of options exist for sending the email notifications:
  * send to arbitrary email address(es)
  * send to user(s)
  * send to contact(s)
  * send to assigned user
  * send to team
  * do not send to triggering user
  * can send attachments

Schedules can be set yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, each minute

Subject and body are template-driven, allowing parameters from triggering entities of the chosen type.

-------------------------------

2. Google Earth Report Integration

Provides a configuration tool (part of the report specification) that allows report attributes to be output within the context of a real-time KML feed as parts of a placemark. As an example, you can visualize the results of a report...say a report on your Accounts...in Google Earth...see the geographic distribution of your Accounts.

-------------------------------

3. Improvements to Uploads/File Attachments to Entities

Implements per-entity-type file repositories that can have internal folder hierarchies and maintain per-entity folders (no more clobbering files of the same name that were uploaded/attached to a different entity). Utilizes a JavaScript file browser, and allows vTiger to maintain file permissions on files and folders (optional). 

--------------------------------

4. Timesheets

I know TSolucio has one of these. We tried it out and it didn't match the needs we had very well. I suspect we'll just provide this one as an alternative to the TSolucio one from our website, just in case someone else's needs are more closely aligned with the ones our client had.

---------------------------------

5. Report Folder Permissions / Personal Report Folders

We added Reports to the profile management functionality, and added a personal "My Reports" folder for each user. You can hide report folders from some users, allow certain users to create new reports or manage certain folders, etc. Each user has their own My Reports folder where they can create reports of their own. When users have access to view a Report (but not edit it) and they want to customize it, they can clone it to their My Reports folder and modify it there. 

-----------------------------------

6. Custom Field Improvements

We put the custom fields inside a tabbed (JS) block. Added Custom Field management functionality that allows admin users to create more tabs, blocks, and sub-blocks, arranging (and rearranging) custom fields within them. Really useful when you have a lot of custom fields. When multiple tabs have not been created, the Custom Fields block looks as it normally does. Also allows Custom Fields to be renamed.

------------------------------------


As I said, we'd love to hear feedback on these. If there's anything that the vTiger project can use, we'd be happy to contribute them. We've done a lot of work with vTiger, and it's been a huge success both for us and for our client. It would be great to have the opportunity to contribute back.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Really a good piece of work. I would like to thank you and your client(s)
for deciding to contribute back.

If you can share code with us with more details that will make it easy to
analyze it further.

Hey...

Thanks, folks, for your kind words. I would be remiss to not mention my client, who have generously agreed to contribute this work that they paid for. They are Sutherland-Schultz Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. (www.sutherland-schultz.com) 

It looks like this is the way to proceed. I think what I'll do is start pulling together some screenshots and example code chunks for each of the features, and send them to Prasad so they can check them out more carefully.

As I said, these components are all v4.2, plus (as you may imagine) they have some client-specific parts that we will want to excise (stuff that I don't think is very useful for the community at large) before they are contributed. The upshot is that it will take a little bit of work (read *time*) to port these to 5.0.x. 

That is to some extent why I wanted to check on priorities. If there are certain things that would be *really* helpful to someone, I could see us prioritizing them so that we do those first. Not sure we'll be able to get everything together for a single version release (thanks for the nod, anyway, David) but we'll see what we can do ;)

If anybody else is *really* interested in getting something moving *very* quickly and is willing to help with the port of that feature, we might be able to arrange that. 

Prasad, should I send the code to you, or should I just post it here?

peace,
Nolan

i think the most important upgrade is the 6. Custom Field Improvements
this should go first.

I can help with the porting. I am interested in Custom Field Improvement 
as well. I have some experience in block and JS. I would be more than 
happy to port that over to 5.0.4.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Thank you very much for taking more initiative. Kindly share code with me
and also put CC to out developer list
This way our developers can enhance the interesting feature a bit more.

It will definitely take more time for us to analyze the code contribution,
so please be patient till then.

Hope you don't mind if we get back to you for any clarifications.

Regards,
Prasad

Hi David,

What changes did you make to change the blocks for the custom field?

Can you please check if without change the blocks, the custom field can be
disabled for the profile?

Hi All,

I have been contracted by IMED Mobility to create a vtigerCRM email list
system. The design we have accorded with Imed, has more or less the same
goals as Peaceworks/Sutherland-Schultz number 1 extension.
Imed decided to fund the development of the extension and release it as
an opensource extension on the forge.
I have been given permission to speak in their name and help Peaceworks
to port their extension to 5.0.4 and make it available to the community,
on the forge and in the base product if vtiger team sees it fit.
At the moment I would like to thank Peaceworks and Sutherland-Schultz
for there contribution.

Nolan, if you are interested in working with TSolucio drop me an email.
We will set up a forge project and port your mailing system to 5.0.4

Regards, Joe
TSolucio

Hi everybody,
besides the fact that all of these modules sound very interesting i 
think #6 is the most interesting for the majority of vTiger-users, as 
the custom fields do play a BIG role in setting up different setups of 
vTiger for different usage. The custom fields feature is a vast Plus 
within vtiger already, a little more extended makes it even vaster, to 
leave my few words on this.

And as always: If you wizards need an extensive themer /tester / 
documenter/ translator (native german/ native english) on anything 
around vTiger count me in.

Greetings
Torsten Zenk

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Hello and the webform module
Message-ID: <47FBDBD3.60602@gmail.com>

Sorry in advance - this is quite a long message...
----------

Hello.

I'm Alan, and I run an Open Source training, consulting and support 
services business here in the UK.

We have been "playing" with vtiger for some time and now would like to 
contribute something back.

I have recently been looking at the webform module and have some ideas, 
but I am struggling to get passed first base due to the db abstraction 
library and some rather obfuscated code...

Anyway, first, A brief idea of what I'd like to do with the webform module:

1. Abstract the client side so that there is minimal or no hardcoding of 
form parameters and eliminate the need for manual duplication of lists 
of php arrays in 5 or 6 places as is now the case.
2. Migrate the forms to be valid XHTML (no tables) with external 
stylesheet(s).
3. Option to notify admin or other vtiger user by email that a form has 
been submitted.
4. Introduce a nice and friendly form builder (probably using something 
like the dojo toolkit to give a good user experience).


With respect to the above I have done some work already.

1. During some initial hacking, the client end of the webform package 
now has a single array construct which holds the basic form field 
parameters and labels etc in config.php. This is the only place - on the 
client side - where changes need to be made to alter your form's basic 
field layout and structure. However, the interaction to the server is 
not fixed. The vtiger file soap/webform.php needs manually hacking in 
several places to match the client side configuration.
2. This is kind of done.
3. Sort of done. It works but the email notification is done at the 
client end. This depends on the client server having sendmail(). I'd 
like to move this function back to vtiger. Don't think it should be too 
hard, but haven't looked into it yet.
4. Not started

Completing "1." above is giving me a headache!

What I am trying to achieve is something along the following lines:

*Start the client end "form building process"
*Select the type of form you'd like to make/edit
*Upload the schema for the relevant fields from the user's vtiger 
installation and use that information to create the basic form layout 
data...

It is here's where I am stuck. Is there any decent documentation on the 
database abstraction library that is being used? I find even simple 
queries respond with vast amounts of superfluous data. For example a 
query like:

  "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'vtiger_".$form."%'"

responds with the data but also with a tremendous amount of noise. And 
with that particular query I can't seem to iterate through the result 
and filter it because of using a wildcard in the query. Any ideas?

My plan is generate an xml schema for the fields that are available for 
a particular kind of form. This would be used to generate the wsdl on 
vtiger and be cached in a local (client-side) file and only updated as 
and when necessary. The benefit being it will display any custom fields 
or should vtiger's schema change with a new release, no manual updating 
would be necessary.

The client side Form Builder would be able to use this data to build the 
initial UI and when the user has selected the fields to display etc, 
the "design" will be saved in an XHTML file for deployment along with a 
basic stylesheet.

**Any help with extracting the data from the db would be most helpful.**

I have looked at some of the functions in the MS word module (which gets 
the "lead" field structure for example, but no schema information) as a 
starting point but it doesn't go far enough and also has hardcoded wsdl 
structures.

I also have some ideas to develop the webform module further once I get 
the basics working:

Possibly use a Javascript SOAP library, so no client-side "server 
scripting" language like PHP would be needed at all (fully platform 
agnostic). Or, enable the form to be so standalone that other 
contributors could write client form processors in other languages like 
ASP, Ruby, Java etc...

Improvements in end-user functionality such as addition of optional 
calendar features for using the form for booking appointments/events, 
adding a unique UUID to individual mail campaign emails (or just 
campaigns) so when a new user hit's the form, we know how he got 
there... And a few others ideas too.

Sorry again for the length.

Alan

hey...

I agree with Torsten. The Custom Field stuff is important. For the same reason, actually, I think the Reports stuff is pretty valuable, too. Based on the replies so far, though...

1. I've submitted a request for a forge project for the AutoEmail stuff, and am in conversation with Joe on that. I'll make sure to keep this list apprised of any developments as things move forward there.

2. I'll start pulling together some of the Custom Field stuff tonight so that I can let people know what's all involved. I'm thinking that this particular one may be a fairly easy port to 5.0.4 if the decisions I made stand the test of community inspection. Even if not, I think it'll still be pretty quick. It's really not all that complex in the end.

peace,
Nolan

Hi Alan,

Good to see you got started on the developer list.

vtiger CRM uses adodb library: http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
Look at vtigercrm/include/database/PearDatabase.php which uses adodb
functions.

Message-ID: <21806911.151207805303970.JavaMail.root@zimbra>

OK...

I'm not quite sure how to get started on this Custom Fields thing. Not having had the opportunity to contribute something substantial to this project, I'm not quite sure what the logistics should look like. 

So...what I've done is package up a first set of stuff, and attached it to this email as a zip. The zip includes:

* new files I added
* one file I massively altered: include/uifromdbutil.php
  - this file no longer exists, it's split between include/utils/EditViewUtil.php and DetailViewUtil.php, I believe
* one set of instructions for applying my changes to modules/Settings/AddCustomFieldToDB.php

In order to complete this, I'll need to either compile a whole bunch more instructions, or else make the changes to the 5.0.4 files myself. Here's where I ask for guidance. If I'm going to make the changes to the 5.0.4 files, I might as well do the port myself. However, going through the remaining files and making the instructions may not be less work. 

Any thoughts, anyone? I could provide diffs for branch 4.2 revision 7802 (that's where we branched), but I don't think those will help anyone, will they?

peace,
Nolan

Hi Nolan,

Good to see your code contribution. Providing the diffs would definitely be
useful.
Is it possible to include some screenshot to show the changes or
enhancements made?

Message-ID: <47FDF5C3.1050809@ct-net.org>

Hi
When I try and use the thunderbird plugin it loses the body of the 
message and replaces it with "


<div id="contents">

<div id="header">

height="25" width="340"></h1>
<p>Mozilla?s Thunderbird email application is more powerful than ever.

<p>Experience the difference. Thunderbird is developed and supported by

what would cause this ?
i'm using thunderbird ver version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

Me too, but not for quite so long

Re custom fields, the biggest bind is that 'LINKED' Custom Fields do not 
cross update from say an Account to a Contact or vice versa as say the 
address fields do - there is no linking beyond the point where a Lead is 
converted to an Account/Potential - at that point they are entities in 
their own right.

I have had a play about with this for a while to see if I can get the 
fields to update with SQL triggers but am no coder and cannot get 
anything satisfactory - probably just lousy SQl syntax !

ANY improvement on the usability would be useful. If not, a change to 
the naming convention for 'LINKED' Custom Fields ;-)

Absolutely brilliant to see people contributing stuff back so many 
thanks to you and your clients !

Hi Gregory,

The leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off from the input values in the
following:

File: include/utils/CommonUtils.php
function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)

The highlighted line of code can help you to preserve the leading and
trailing spaces for Faq module record saving.
NOTE: This code is based on vtiger 5.0.4

function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)
{
    global $log;
    ...
    if(isset($_REQUEST['mode']))
    {
        $focus->mode = $_REQUEST['mode'];
    }
    foreach($focus->column_fields as $fieldname => $val)
    {
        if(isset($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
        {
            if(is_array($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Faq')
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else
                $value = trim($_REQUEST[$fieldname]);
            $focus->column_fields[$fieldname] = $value;
        }

Hope you find this useful.

Hi Nolan,

Wanted to make a follow up on the contribution items. How are things coming
along.

I saw the forge project on email but didn't find any downloads.

Kindly keep us updated on the work progress, our community will be able to
provide more assistance.

Hi Nolan,

I agree with you. Security on Reports is also very important stuff. I would
like to know the update on it and would be great if we can getting it ported
to 5.0.4.

Let me know if I can help you in this.

Hi List, im working for to port Vtiger 5.0.3 and 5.0.4 to Oracle, and im
working too in to implement a customized Price Book (List of prices) by
client, and improve the module for to have accounts/contacts by list and
products by list and management of profitability by list of products and
customized profitability of product in some list of prices. My question
is: How i work for that the improves are evaluated and integrated in
vtiger by default, how I work with other persons interested in help to
port vtiger to oracle,really the oracle support need changes in the names
of the tables, because the actual names present troubles for the max size
of name in oracle.

Im expecting for yours recomendations, it would be a fork named vtiger x
oracle meanwhile this updates are integrated in the official version.

Im expecting of yours comments and suggestions,

Hi Leandro,

I would recommend you to create a project of forge for which can serve as an
add-on
for vtiger 5.0.4 to work with Oracle. This give our community direct access
and
they will be able to provide more support to your work.

Message-ID: <d09d4a7b0804220810t75457ebbs17a002e2edcac89e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys,

I need a little help, I posted on the forum a question but didn't get any
answer yet (http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=64151)
I am trying to display a custom field in a list view, for exemple the sale
order list in a specific account should display my custom field cf_354.
In 4.2.3 I made it work but cannot get it working with the same method in
5.0.4:

In salesorder.php I add my custom field in

    var $list_fields = Array(
                'Order No'=>Array('crmentity'=>'crmid'),
                'Subject'=>Array('salesorder'=>'subject'),
                'Account Name'=>Array('account'=>'accountid'),
                'Quote Name'=>Array('quotes'=>'quoteid'),
               * 'My Custom field'=>Array('salesordercf'=>'cf_354'),*
                'Total'=>Array('salesorder'=>'total'),
                'Assigned To'=>Array('crmentity'=>'smownerid')
                );

    var $list_fields_name = Array(
                        'Order No'=>'',
                        'Subject'=>'subject',
                        'Account Name'=>'account_id',
                        'Quote Name'=>'quote_id',
                       * 'My Custom field'=>'cf_354',*
                        'Total'=>'hdnGrandTfdotal',
                        'Assigned To'=>'assigned_user_id'
                      );

I also had a look for an error in the log, but none is logged..
If somebody get it working with the exact same method as in 4.2.3, I would
be glad to know(It would mean that I made a mistake) else if somebody get it
to work on 5.0.4, I would be very thankful for an hint.

Bye guys,
Clem

Dear Team,

As a starting point, the vQuickBooks add-on is developed to synchronize the
Contacts from vtigerCRM and Customer List from QuickBooks via the QuickBooks
- WebConnector.

The Basic QuickBooks Integration frame work (free package - done by Keith
Palmer) is used to develop this add-on. We welcome more questions, results
and code contributions from our members to take this add-on into next level.

Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Dear Keith,

We are glad to hear about the support you are extending for getting vtiger
QuickBooks integration.

I had a question: Is it possible to make WebConnector Application work
without https?

Hi Prasad,



I'm working with Russian language pack and met some problems.

Till now I've noticed 5 bugs with strlen and substr. I'll ready to fix them
using Vtiger track, but i ask you to include the phputf8 library (
http://phputf8.sourceforge.net/ ) into the vtiger core
(vtigerCRM\include\phputf8). It work's fine on many projects (for example
Joomla!), and it doing well with VTiger.

The other thing that by default the GraphUtils.php uses Vera font:
    line 27: DEFINE("FF_FONT1",'Vera');
but it has no Cyrillic support. Probably it's better to change it to Arial.
Will it be right if I add this issue on track.

The last thing I think deals with any localisation. In Smarty Template
'Smarty/templates/ListViewEntries.tpl':
line 135:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND} !
line 172:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND}
!</span></td>
In both cases the plural form is added in template, that is absolutely
unsuitable for localisation.

For now we solve it by adding all this core (and template) files to language
pack that is totally incorrect. What can be the solution?




Best regards,
Denys Potapov

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] PostgreSQL support
Message-ID: <2b2cf48288ead57e23c7254ea0d5f05a@localhost>

Hello all,

I saw a thread in December about PostgreSQL support for VTiger. Jens
Hamisch had done a fair amount of work to achieving this goal and I am
wondering on the current status.

Regards,

Stephen.

Hey, everyone...

I've been lurking on this list for quite a while (could be 2 years!) For over 2 years, now, my company has been doing customization work on vTiger, most of it on a highly customized installation that is still running v4.2.

The customizations are so extensive, and the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 was so rocky that the client has never been willing to make the move. They still aren't. 

However, we just got permission from them to contribute any useful modifications and modules to the project. Hooray! My company is willing to provide at least some amount of work to make the transition from 4.2 to 5.0 for these components, but I wanted to post a short annotated list to find out whether any of these pieces might be of interest to the community, and if so, how they might be prioritized. 

Here's the list. Please let me know what you think. Any of these sound interesting?

--------
1. Auto-Email Standardization 

Our client found the vTiger email notification stuff disconcerting. Reasons for emails going out were not clearly enumerated or codified, and control over these emails was limited at best. We wrote a framework that provides a series of Auto-Email categories:
  * entity-created: sends when an entity of the chosen type is created
  * entity-altered: sends when an entity of the chosen type is altered
  * entity-deleted: sends when an entity of the chosen type is deleted
  * value-triggered: sends when a set of value conditions on an entity of the chosen type is met (can be scheduled, or reactive--on save)
  * scheduled custom: executes a custom function on schedule
  * scheduled report: emails a report on schedule

A wide variety of options exist for sending the email notifications:
  * send to arbitrary email address(es)
  * send to user(s)
  * send to contact(s)
  * send to assigned user
  * send to team
  * do not send to triggering user
  * can send attachments

Schedules can be set yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, each minute

Subject and body are template-driven, allowing parameters from triggering entities of the chosen type.

-------------------------------

2. Google Earth Report Integration

Provides a configuration tool (part of the report specification) that allows report attributes to be output within the context of a real-time KML feed as parts of a placemark. As an example, you can visualize the results of a report...say a report on your Accounts...in Google Earth...see the geographic distribution of your Accounts.

-------------------------------

3. Improvements to Uploads/File Attachments to Entities

Implements per-entity-type file repositories that can have internal folder hierarchies and maintain per-entity folders (no more clobbering files of the same name that were uploaded/attached to a different entity). Utilizes a JavaScript file browser, and allows vTiger to maintain file permissions on files and folders (optional). 

--------------------------------

4. Timesheets

I know TSolucio has one of these. We tried it out and it didn't match the needs we had very well. I suspect we'll just provide this one as an alternative to the TSolucio one from our website, just in case someone else's needs are more closely aligned with the ones our client had.

---------------------------------

5. Report Folder Permissions / Personal Report Folders

We added Reports to the profile management functionality, and added a personal "My Reports" folder for each user. You can hide report folders from some users, allow certain users to create new reports or manage certain folders, etc. Each user has their own My Reports folder where they can create reports of their own. When users have access to view a Report (but not edit it) and they want to customize it, they can clone it to their My Reports folder and modify it there. 

-----------------------------------

6. Custom Field Improvements

We put the custom fields inside a tabbed (JS) block. Added Custom Field management functionality that allows admin users to create more tabs, blocks, and sub-blocks, arranging (and rearranging) custom fields within them. Really useful when you have a lot of custom fields. When multiple tabs have not been created, the Custom Fields block looks as it normally does. Also allows Custom Fields to be renamed.

------------------------------------


As I said, we'd love to hear feedback on these. If there's anything that the vTiger project can use, we'd be happy to contribute them. We've done a lot of work with vTiger, and it's been a huge success both for us and for our client. It would be great to have the opportunity to contribute back. 

peace,

Hey...

Thanks, folks, for your kind words. I would be remiss to not mention my client, who have generously agreed to contribute this work that they paid for. They are Sutherland-Schultz Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. (www.sutherland-schultz.com) 

It looks like this is the way to proceed. I think what I'll do is start pulling together some screenshots and example code chunks for each of the features, and send them to Prasad so they can check them out more carefully.

As I said, these components are all v4.2, plus (as you may imagine) they have some client-specific parts that we will want to excise (stuff that I don't think is very useful for the community at large) before they are contributed. The upshot is that it will take a little bit of work (read *time*) to port these to 5.0.x. 

That is to some extent why I wanted to check on priorities. If there are certain things that would be *really* helpful to someone, I could see us prioritizing them so that we do those first. Not sure we'll be able to get everything together for a single version release (thanks for the nod, anyway, David) but we'll see what we can do ;)

If anybody else is *really* interested in getting something moving *very* quickly and is willing to help with the port of that feature, we might be able to arrange that. 

Prasad, should I send the code to you, or should I just post it here?

peace,
Nolan

i think the most important upgrade is the 6. Custom Field Improvements
this should go first.

I can help with the porting. I am interested in Custom Field Improvement 
as well. I have some experience in block and JS. I would be more than 
happy to port that over to 5.0.4.

Hi Nolan Andres,

Thank you very much for taking more initiative. Kindly share code with me
and also put CC to out developer list
This way our developers can enhance the interesting feature a bit more.

It will definitely take more time for us to analyze the code contribution,
so please be patient till then.

Hope you don't mind if we get back to you for any clarifications.

Regards,
Prasad

Hi David,

What changes did you make to change the blocks for the custom field?

Can you please check if without change the blocks, the custom field can be
disabled for the profile?

Hi All,

I have been contracted by IMED Mobility to create a vtigerCRM email list
system. The design we have accorded with Imed, has more or less the same
goals as Peaceworks/Sutherland-Schultz number 1 extension.
Imed decided to fund the development of the extension and release it as
an opensource extension on the forge.
I have been given permission to speak in their name and help Peaceworks
to port their extension to 5.0.4 and make it available to the community,
on the forge and in the base product if vtiger team sees it fit.
At the moment I would like to thank Peaceworks and Sutherland-Schultz
for there contribution.

Nolan, if you are interested in working with TSolucio drop me an email.
We will set up a forge project and port your mailing system to 5.0.4

Regards, Joe
TSolucio

Hi everybody,
besides the fact that all of these modules sound very interesting i 
think #6 is the most interesting for the majority of vTiger-users, as 
the custom fields do play a BIG role in setting up different setups of 
vTiger for different usage. The custom fields feature is a vast Plus 
within vtiger already, a little more extended makes it even vaster, to 
leave my few words on this.

And as always: If you wizards need an extensive themer /tester / 
documenter/ translator (native german/ native english) on anything 
around vTiger count me in.

Greetings
Torsten Zenk

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Hello and the webform module
Message-ID: <47FBDBD3.60602@gmail.com>

Sorry in advance - this is quite a long message...
----------

Hello.

I'm Alan, and I run an Open Source training, consulting and support 
services business here in the UK.

We have been "playing" with vtiger for some time and now would like to 
contribute something back.

I have recently been looking at the webform module and have some ideas, 
but I am struggling to get passed first base due to the db abstraction 
library and some rather obfuscated code...

Anyway, first, A brief idea of what I'd like to do with the webform module:

1. Abstract the client side so that there is minimal or no hardcoding of 
form parameters and eliminate the need for manual duplication of lists 
of php arrays in 5 or 6 places as is now the case.
2. Migrate the forms to be valid XHTML (no tables) with external 
stylesheet(s).
3. Option to notify admin or other vtiger user by email that a form has 
been submitted.
4. Introduce a nice and friendly form builder (probably using something 
like the dojo toolkit to give a good user experience).


With respect to the above I have done some work already.

1. During some initial hacking, the client end of the webform package 
now has a single array construct which holds the basic form field 
parameters and labels etc in config.php. This is the only place - on the 
client side - where changes need to be made to alter your form's basic 
field layout and structure. However, the interaction to the server is 
not fixed. The vtiger file soap/webform.php needs manually hacking in 
several places to match the client side configuration.
2. This is kind of done.
3. Sort of done. It works but the email notification is done at the 
client end. This depends on the client server having sendmail(). I'd 
like to move this function back to vtiger. Don't think it should be too 
hard, but haven't looked into it yet.
4. Not started

Completing "1." above is giving me a headache!

What I am trying to achieve is something along the following lines:

*Start the client end "form building process"
*Select the type of form you'd like to make/edit
*Upload the schema for the relevant fields from the user's vtiger 
installation and use that information to create the basic form layout 
data...

It is here's where I am stuck. Is there any decent documentation on the 
database abstraction library that is being used? I find even simple 
queries respond with vast amounts of superfluous data. For example a 
query like:

  "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'vtiger_".$form."%'"

responds with the data but also with a tremendous amount of noise. And 
with that particular query I can't seem to iterate through the result 
and filter it because of using a wildcard in the query. Any ideas?

My plan is generate an xml schema for the fields that are available for 
a particular kind of form. This would be used to generate the wsdl on 
vtiger and be cached in a local (client-side) file and only updated as 
and when necessary. The benefit being it will display any custom fields 
or should vtiger's schema change with a new release, no manual updating 
would be necessary.

The client side Form Builder would be able to use this data to build the 
initial UI and when the user has selected the fields to display etc, 
the "design" will be saved in an XHTML file for deployment along with a 
basic stylesheet.

**Any help with extracting the data from the db would be most helpful.**

I have looked at some of the functions in the MS word module (which gets 
the "lead" field structure for example, but no schema information) as a 
starting point but it doesn't go far enough and also has hardcoded wsdl 
structures.

I also have some ideas to develop the webform module further once I get 
the basics working:

Possibly use a Javascript SOAP library, so no client-side "server 
scripting" language like PHP would be needed at all (fully platform 
agnostic). Or, enable the form to be so standalone that other 
contributors could write client form processors in other languages like 
ASP, Ruby, Java etc...

Improvements in end-user functionality such as addition of optional 
calendar features for using the form for booking appointments/events, 
adding a unique UUID to individual mail campaign emails (or just 
campaigns) so when a new user hit's the form, we know how he got 
there... And a few others ideas too.

Sorry again for the length.

Alan

hey...

I agree with Torsten. The Custom Field stuff is important. For the same reason, actually, I think the Reports stuff is pretty valuable, too. Based on the replies so far, though...

1. I've submitted a request for a forge project for the AutoEmail stuff, and am in conversation with Joe on that. I'll make sure to keep this list apprised of any developments as things move forward there.

2. I'll start pulling together some of the Custom Field stuff tonight so that I can let people know what's all involved. I'm thinking that this particular one may be a fairly easy port to 5.0.4 if the decisions I made stand the test of community inspection. Even if not, I think it'll still be pretty quick. It's really not all that complex in the end.

peace,
Nolan

Hi Alan,

Good to see you got started on the developer list.

vtiger CRM uses adodb library: http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
Look at vtigercrm/include/database/PearDatabase.php which uses adodb
functions.

Message-ID: <21806911.151207805303970.JavaMail.root@zimbra>

OK...

I'm not quite sure how to get started on this Custom Fields thing. Not having had the opportunity to contribute something substantial to this project, I'm not quite sure what the logistics should look like. 

So...what I've done is package up a first set of stuff, and attached it to this email as a zip. The zip includes:

* new files I added
* one file I massively altered: include/uifromdbutil.php
  - this file no longer exists, it's split between include/utils/EditViewUtil.php and DetailViewUtil.php, I believe
* one set of instructions for applying my changes to modules/Settings/AddCustomFieldToDB.php

In order to complete this, I'll need to either compile a whole bunch more instructions, or else make the changes to the 5.0.4 files myself. Here's where I ask for guidance. If I'm going to make the changes to the 5.0.4 files, I might as well do the port myself. However, going through the remaining files and making the instructions may not be less work. 

Any thoughts, anyone? I could provide diffs for branch 4.2 revision 7802 (that's where we branched), but I don't think those will help anyone, will they?

peace,
Nolan

Hi Nolan,

Good to see your code contribution. Providing the diffs would definitely be
useful.
Is it possible to include some screenshot to show the changes or
enhancements made?

Me too, but not for quite so long

Re custom fields, the biggest bind is that 'LINKED' Custom Fields do not 
cross update from say an Account to a Contact or vice versa as say the 
address fields do - there is no linking beyond the point where a Lead is 
converted to an Account/Potential - at that point they are entities in 
their own right.

I have had a play about with this for a while to see if I can get the 
fields to update with SQL triggers but am no coder and cannot get 
anything satisfactory - probably just lousy SQl syntax !

ANY improvement on the usability would be useful. If not, a change to 
the naming convention for 'LINKED' Custom Fields ;-)

Absolutely brilliant to see people contributing stuff back so many 
thanks to you and your clients !

Hi Gregory,

The leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off from the input values in the
following:

File: include/utils/CommonUtils.php
function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)

The highlighted line of code can help you to preserve the leading and
trailing spaces for Faq module record saving.
NOTE: This code is based on vtiger 5.0.4

function setObjectValuesFromRequest($focus)
{
    global $log;
    ...
    if(isset($_REQUEST['mode']))
    {
        $focus->mode = $_REQUEST['mode'];
    }
    foreach($focus->column_fields as $fieldname => $val)
    {
        if(isset($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
        {
            if(is_array($_REQUEST[$fieldname]))
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else if ($_REQUEST['module'] == 'Faq')
                $value = $_REQUEST[$fieldname];
            else
                $value = trim($_REQUEST[$fieldname]);
            $focus->column_fields[$fieldname] = $value;
        }

Hope you find this useful.

Hi Nolan,

I agree with you. Security on Reports is also very important stuff. I would
like to know the update on it and would be great if we can getting it ported
to 5.0.4.

Let me know if I can help you in this.

Hi List, im working for to port Vtiger 5.0.3 and 5.0.4 to Oracle, and im
working too in to implement a customized Price Book (List of prices) by
client, and improve the module for to have accounts/contacts by list and
products by list and management of profitability by list of products and
customized profitability of product in some list of prices. My question
is: How i work for that the improves are evaluated and integrated in
vtiger by default, how I work with other persons interested in help to
port vtiger to oracle,really the oracle support need changes in the names
of the tables, because the actual names present troubles for the max size
of name in oracle.

Im expecting for yours recomendations, it would be a fork named vtiger x
oracle meanwhile this updates are integrated in the official version.

Im expecting of yours comments and suggestions,

Leandro Rache.
Hipertek.

Hi Leandro,

I would recommend you to create a project of forge for which can serve as an
add-on
for vtiger 5.0.4 to work with Oracle. This give our community direct access
and
they will be able to provide more support to your work.

Message-ID: <d09d4a7b0804220810t75457ebbs17a002e2edcac89e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys,

I need a little help, I posted on the forum a question but didn't get any
answer yet (http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=64151)
I am trying to display a custom field in a list view, for exemple the sale
order list in a specific account should display my custom field cf_354.
In 4.2.3 I made it work but cannot get it working with the same method in
5.0.4:

In salesorder.php I add my custom field in

    var $list_fields = Array(
                'Order No'=>Array('crmentity'=>'crmid'),
                'Subject'=>Array('salesorder'=>'subject'),
                'Account Name'=>Array('account'=>'accountid'),
                'Quote Name'=>Array('quotes'=>'quoteid'),
               * 'My Custom field'=>Array('salesordercf'=>'cf_354'),*
                'Total'=>Array('salesorder'=>'total'),
                'Assigned To'=>Array('crmentity'=>'smownerid')
                );

    var $list_fields_name = Array(
                        'Order No'=>'',
                        'Subject'=>'subject',
                        'Account Name'=>'account_id',
                        'Quote Name'=>'quote_id',
                       * 'My Custom field'=>'cf_354',*
                        'Total'=>'hdnGrandTfdotal',
                        'Assigned To'=>'assigned_user_id'
                      );

I also had a look for an error in the log, but none is logged..
If somebody get it working with the exact same method as in 4.2.3, I would
be glad to know(It would mean that I made a mistake) else if somebody get it
to work on 5.0.4, I would be very thankful for an hint.

Bye guys,
Clem

Dear Team,

As a starting point, the vQuickBooks add-on is developed to synchronize the
Contacts from vtigerCRM and Customer List from QuickBooks via the QuickBooks
- WebConnector.

The Basic QuickBooks Integration frame work (free package - done by Keith
Palmer) is used to develop this add-on. We welcome more questions, results
and code contributions from our members to take this add-on into next level.

Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Dear Keith,

We are glad to hear about the support you are extending for getting vtiger
QuickBooks integration.

I had a question: Is it possible to make WebConnector Application work
without https?

Prasad

PS: vtiger Forum does not let you post URL's in the first post.
