Alan,<br><br>Thank you very much for the work you are doing on this project.<br><br>Here are my suggestions :<br><br>- Improve the Customer Portal to be able to also display custom modules (Vtlib modules)<br>- Allow customer to add or edit specific information (add a new contact or change a phone number)<br>
<br>Of course we don't want a customer to change an invoice but if the admin can choose what is editable or not, we will end up with a much more powerfull CP.<br><br clear="all">David V.<br>

Following the recent discussions on this list we now have a new project<br>
on the vtiger forge. I called it Customer Portal Next Generation.<br>
<br>
When I started this, my initial objectives were:<br>
<br>
* Separate presentation from logic;<br>
* Remove all unnecessary tables and markup;<br>
* Use at least XHTML 1.0 Transitional Doctype;<br>
* Enhance the end-user's ability to customise the look & feel;<br>
* Re-factor the logic to improve performance remove unnecessary duplication;<br>
<br>
Prasad requested that the styling of the customer portal be changed so<br>
it matches the vtiger CRM itself (A good idea I think).<br>
<br>
I am looking for help, suggestions, bug reporting and anything else you<br>
can think of. I don't want to do it on my own ;-)<br>
<br>
Carlo Beschi has already joined the project - Thanks.<br>
<br>
So far, I have done an initial import of the code I linked to at the<br>
start of this thread there is now a SVN tree and the code is in trunk.<br>
Feel free to check it out and play with it.<br>
<br>
A fair amount of the table removal has already been done in this import.<br>
The basic logic hasn't really been changed/re-factored and the look &<br>
feel could still be improved quite a bit I think.<br>
<br>
