[Vtigercrm-developers] Preview of New Marketplace (Portal) for Extensions

[Zebra Hosting]

Marketplace link not working here. DNS issue?

Needing an extension loader will not make vTiger popular on shared hosting….
More reason than before to keep the manual install button!

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Preview of New Marketplace (Portal) for Extensions

I am excited to share a preview of the new marketplace with you. Here is a Quick Overview for Marketplace<https://marketplace.vtiger.com/docs/marketplace/#/>. Please visit marketplace.vitger.com<https://marketplace.vitger.com/> to access it.

The new Marketplace is integrated with the Extensions Store inside Vtiger CRM<http://community.vtiger.com/help/vtigercrm/marketplace/about-extension-store.html> (6.1 and later) to allow users to install apps with 1-click. Users can also browse and find extensions by visiting to marketplace.vtiger.com<https://marketplace.vtiger.com/>. The new marketplace brings the following features.

For Developers

>From Marketplace, Developers can

  1.  Publish commercial / free extensions for open source and on demand users.
  2.  Keep track downloads and revenue
  3.  Encrypt and Lock extensions to a device

For Users

  1.  Users can search and find extension from within the CRM or on the Web.
  2.  Users can rate and review extensions
  3.  Users can try the extensions for free for 1 week.

Limitations

  1.  External plugins are not yet accepted on the marketplace (ex: Thunderbird plugin, Outlook plugin). We will soon be addressing this

Extension Loader is required on  CRM server

To install extensions through the Store in the CRM,  Vtiger PHP Extension Loader will need to be installed. This is a proprietary php-extension that helps to protect the php source files of extension.

NOTE: The php-extension binary (*.so, *.dll) is made freely available for different OS and PHP versions. If you don't find a suitable one - please send us an email.

For more details, please view Extension loader documentation<http://community.vtiger.com/help/vtigercrm/php/extension-loader.html>.

Regards,
Vtiger Team
