Connect Joomla contact from to sugar?

**hristo17** · 2009-06-23, 02:14 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to find a solution for the following:

I have a joomla web site (1.5.10) and I would like to have a contact form that upon submit to enter the data directly into SugarCRM.

I couldn't find any working solution on that so I'm writing here, can someone help me please?

You can create a web to lead form that will populate into the lead module.

Thanks Sugarcane!

I tried that already and it works but I was wondering if I can put the dta from a form directly into contacts, not into leads?

Thanks again

Sure, you'd basically copy that form on the Sugar side and change all references from Leads to Contacts then send the data to that form instead.

Is that possible? For example in my WebToLead form I have things like this:

action="http://eval.sugarondemand.com/route75/index.php?entryPoint=WebToLeadCapture"

document.WebToLeadForm.submit();

and so on, what should be chnaged to if I would like it to go to Contacts?

Thanks

It definitely is possible. I've done the same thing. I copied the lead capture form in the modules\Leads directory and created a contactCapture.php file in the root sugar directory with the contents:

PHP Code:

 <?php

if(!defined('sugarEntry'))define('sugarEntry', true);

 
require_once('include/entryPoint.php');

require_once('include/utils.php');

require_once('modules/Contacts/ContactFormBase.php');

 
global $app_strings, $app_list_strings;

 
$mod_strings = return_module_language($sugar_config['default_language'], 'Contacts');

 
$app_list_strings['record_type_module'] = array('Contact'=>'Contacts', 'Account'=>'Accounts', 'Opportunity'=>'Opportunities', 'Case'=>'Cases', 'Note'=>'Notes', 'Call'=>'Calls', 'Email'=>'Emails', 'Meeting'=>'Meetings', 'Task'=>'Tasks', 'Contact'=>'Contacts','Bug'=>'Bugs',);

 
$users = array(

    'FORMUSERHEREr' => array('name'=>'FORMUSERHERE', 'pass'=>'USERHASHHERE'),

);

 
if (!empty($_POST['user']) && !empty($users[$_POST['user']])) {

    require_once('modules/Users/User.php');

    $current_user = new User();

    $current_user->user_name = $users[$_POST['user']]['name'];

 
    if($current_user->authenticate_user($users[$_POST['user']]['pass'])){

        $userid = $current_user->retrieve_user_id($users[$_REQUEST['user']]['name']);

        $current_user->retrieve($userid);

        $contactForm = new ContactFormBase();

        $prefix = '';

        if(!empty($_POST['prefix'])){

            $prefix =     $_POST['prefix'];

        }

 
 
        $_POST['record'] ='';

 
        if( isset($_POST['_splitName']) ) {

            $name = explode(' ',$_POST['name']);

            if(sizeof($name) == 1) {

                $_POST['first_name'] = '';  $_POST['last_name'] = $name[0];

            }

            else {

                $_POST['first_name'] = $name[0];  $_POST['last_name'] = $name[1];

            }

        }

 
        $return_val = $contactForm->handleSave($prefix, false, true);

 
        if(isset($_POST['redirect']) && !empty($_POST['redirect'])){

 
            //header("Location: ".$_POST['redirect']);

            echo '<html><head><title>SugarCRM</title></head><body>';

            echo '<form name="redirect" action="' .$_POST['redirect']. '" method="POST">';

 
            foreach($_POST as $param => $value) {

 
                if($param != 'redirect' || $param != 'submit') {

                    echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$param.'" value="'.$value.'">';

                }

 
            }

 
            if( ($return_val == '') || ($return_val  == 0) || ($return_val < 0) ) {

                echo '<input type="hidden" name="error" value="1">';

            }

            echo '</form><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">document.redirect.submit();</script>';

            echo '</body></html>';

        }

        else{

            echo "Thank You For Your Submission.";

        }

        sugar_cleanup();

        // die to keep code from running into redirect case below

        die();

    }

}

 
echo "We're sorry, the server is currently unavailable, please try again later.";

if (!empty($_POST['redirect'])) {

    echo '<html><head><title>SugarCRM</title></head><body>';

    echo '<form name="redirect" action="' .$_POST['redirect']. '" method="POST">';

    echo '</form><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">document.redirect.submit();</script>';

    echo '</body></html>';

}

?>

And then my action from my external site on the form submits to that page:
action="...../sugar/contactCapture.php"
