[Vtigercrm-developers] Contacts Duplicated

[IT-Solutions4You]

Hi all,

I agree with Alan too, it has to be configurable. You inspired me and I 
spent two nights developing it. Now the result is available on 
http://martin.vtigercrm.sk/DuplicityCheck/ , you can log in as 
adminuser/adminuser . Under Settings -> Other Settings -> Duplicity 
Check you can set up which fields (in which module) are checked for 
duplicity. Then when you are about to create an entity which is 
duplicity, you become a warning (so far only warning and no cross-module 
check). The control is triggered on page load and on field change, so 
you became the warning when you duplicate an entity too. What is your 
oppinion, should I put it in Market Place? Alan - maybe you can help me 
with better warning text...

Have a great day,
Martin
