[Vtigercrm-developers] New Extensions Store! - Take a Tour

[Sreenivas Kanumuru]

Yes, Matteo. We will improve framework APIs to reduce the need to modify
system files. We understand that is important for the success of the Store.

Blazej,

Console (command line tool) will allow the installation of such modules
that are not listed on the store. It is a complementary tool that will be
useful for developers and users who want to install extensions that are not
yet published on the store. In essence, there are 2 ways to install
extensions. first through the store (certainly more easier), and the other
is through the Console. If we are finding that users are having difficulty
with the Console, then we will try to provide a UI for the console (that is
separate from the store).

Andrew,

Yes, upgrading framework from 6.0 to 6.1 will leave custom modules
untouched. They will need to be updated manually through the Store
(possible only if the name matche) , or from outside the store  (through
the Console).

*Can I claim one extension to be published - email campaigns? Vtiger really

Thanks for the suggestion. We are discussing internally on the On Demand
features we can release to open source and support well. I expect we will
be releasing a couple of extensions initially (Quickbooks, Magento
connectors for example) and add more over time.

Regards,
Sreenivas
