Hi everybody,<br>
i would love to see it as simple as the installation in drupal OR
joomla.<br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
When i talk about VTPM in this post i mean vTiger Plugin Module ;)<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
I´d appreciate the following steps:<br>
<br>
1.just download the module<br>
2.unzip it into the vTiger Plugin module folder<br>
At this point the application (e.g. VTPM) recognizes that there is a
new folder and automatically includes it into the adminsection<br>
3.The Admin logs in into the VTPM Adminsection and has the choice to
just leave it unactivated (for testing purposes in the future for
example) or activates it.<br>
<br>
A. A tight set of rules for the development of new modules for that
VTPM is recommended as the recognition of new folders after step 2
needs to have a certain routine to guarantee a certain quality of the
code within that plugin. Otherwise new plugins may ruin the vTiger
install.<br>
B. It would be great if there would also be a "Bridge"- Module that
would help in the process of letting major PHP/ SQL OpenSource Projects
get connected to vTiger. <br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
Torsten Zenk<br>
