Hi Clint, did you ever get any responses for this get together?

Are there any more planned? I am based in NW England, but am usually in Dublin, on business, a couple of times a year.

Meeting other Sugar users would be good for me.

Absolutely! We have 15 people signed up for the user group already and still growing. We had our first meeting last month and the second will be next week. Come join the fun!

Next week might be pushing it, but with a little notice, I'll certainly come along!

If you sign up on the Meetup.com site, you will get email notices of upcoming meetings well in advance. It's a very useful tool for managing meetings.

Hi Guys,

Following up on our Meetup last night, just wanted to followup on of the items covered - cutomising the Plugins:

We have had some sucess Customising the Word Plugin by editing an un-documented XML file.

This file allows you to add modules that are not on the out-of-the-box list. However there are some limitations - you cannot access relate fields - however in the past we have used logic hooks to copy any necessary text from a relate field to a hidden field in the custom module - which sort of works round the issue - however it does cause some data bloat and can be difficult to manage.

The Path to the XML file is as follows:

C:\Program Files\SugarCRM\SugarWord\SugarWord.XML

Cheers,

John

Here is a Sample of the XML File Content for the word Plugin:

Good posting John and always nice to see your face after meeting you at SugarCON. As for Outlook unfortunately there is really no workaround there like you so adeptly found in Word plugin. This is however something others have asked for and I will be sure to bring it up to the proper authorities and report back what I have found.

Hi Everybody,

Sorry to have missed the meetup, but I am a bit new to SugarCRM.

I would be very keen on hosting an event in the West of Ireland and show case the features, mixed with our Business Network.

I believe there would be great benefits to showcase SugarCRM in a business networking environment, especially where a considerable are entrepreneurs developing their own SAAS apps an business startups.

Venue in Sligo, Galway or Derry.

Let me know

Hi David,

Great Idea to have a SugarCRM meeting in the NorthWest.

Does the Northwest Business Network meet regularly at fixed locations, if so it would be good to tie up with this?

Lets put some dates out there and get a discussion going - I can posted it on the SugarCRM Ireland Linked-In page too.

Cheers,

John
