[Vtigercrm-developers] Custom modules and migrating to vt7.5.0

[Sutharsan J]

Hi

What are the custom modules? We're they Developed by you or third party,
such as Vtexperts? They have their own way to upgrade extentions.

And if those are developed by you following entity modules standards, I
don't think they should be disabled.

we upgraded different versions
1. Vtiger 6.0 to 7.4
2. 6.5 to 7.5

The db was upgraded using vtiger migration scripts, then core
customizations were added manually.

Those were success but took time more than 100 hours because of some core
customization old developers did.

Thanks
