I just posted a bug fix for the Outlook plug in error "Invalid return value from vTiger CRM" on the forum.<br><a href="http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=31365#31365">http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=31365#31365
</a><br><br><br><span class="postbody">Vtiger doesn't have a middle name field and the bug occurred in trying to parse the middle name out. </span>I would like to see the logic for determining what a middle name is extracted from
<span class="postbody">vtigerolservice.php and moved to the outlook plug in.<br><br>Reasons:<br>1. Users are prevented from putting spaces in last names.<br>2. Middle name problems are specific to Outlook.<br>3. If it is decided that we should have middle names then add a middle name field.
<br><br>This is my proposed change:<br>1. Remove the support for "middlename" from </span><span class="postbody">vtigerolservice.php<br>2. Add a setting in the Outlook preference for where to store the middle name. There will be three selections. "Do not store middle name", "Store middle name in the First Name field", "Store middle name in the Last Name field".
<br><br>Though unrelated, I would also like to:<br></span><ol><li><span class="postbody">Allow attaching emails to Leads and Opportunities.</span></li><li><span class="postbody">Create an install using Setup2Go or Installer2Go (
</span><span class="postbody"><a href="http://www.dev4pc.com/">http://www.dev4pc.com/</a>) </span><span class="postbody">which is a free installation program. This would allow anyone to create an install script. <br></span>
</li><li><span class="postbody">Launch a configuration UI at the end of the install process so the user will be prompted for their username/password/url. Let this be defaulted through an ini file included in the install script. Example: username=%windowslogin%; password=; url=

e.g. Don't require logging in first. If they click on the contacts folder and click Sync, then attempt to login and tell them if there is a problem.</span></li></ol><span class="postbody">If we can get a consensus then I will make the changes.
