Hi everybody,
i would love to see it as simple as the installation in drupal OR joomla.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When i talk about VTPM in this post i mean vTiger Plugin Module ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I´d appreciate the following steps:
1.just download the module
2.unzip it into the vTiger Plugin module folder
At this point the application (e.g. VTPM) recognizes that there is a new
folder and automatically includes it into the adminsection
3.The Admin logs in into the VTPM Adminsection and has the choice to
just leave it unactivated (for testing purposes in the future for
example) or activates it.
A. A tight set of rules for the development of new modules for that VTPM
is recommended as the recognition of new folders after step 2 needs to
have a certain routine to guarantee a certain quality of the code within
that plugin. Otherwise new plugins may ruin the vTiger install.
B. It would be great if there would also be a "Bridge"- Module that
would help in the process of letting major PHP/ SQL OpenSource Projects
get connected to vTiger.
Best Regards
Torsten Zenk
Thank you Greg.
I want to let everybody know that the work has started on this task but
not directly by us.
I hope more information can be post on this mailing list soon.
Meanwhile the team working on this project needs a maximum of comments
and request from you to be able to focus our needs.
So please everyone, reply and let us know what you expect from this
plugin module.
