Custom extension/library for SugarCRM

[solid]

Hi!

I would like to have in Sugar a custom extension/library/plug-in for particular functions that could be used by one or more modules, say a weight conversion library.

How could I integrate such a thing in Sugar while keeping it upgrade-safe?

Thanks.

Yes, you can do that.

You just have to implement into controller, views or logic hooks the trigers for the functions according to your needs.

Let us know in detail what are you going to implement.

Kind regards

Hi!

Thanks for your answer.

Actually, we have a separate directory completely outside Sugar (in /var/html/crm) to store functions used by different modules (custom and native). For example, we have a file weightConverter.php with a function to convert a weight into another unit.

However, I would like to put all code into the Sugar directory, in a upgrade-safe way of course. I read on the forum, I read in the book "The Definitive Guide to SugarCRM" from John Mertic, but I can't find a place where to put simple code, not whole modules, to do particular tasks needed in our business process.

We already use the code in the external directory into controller and views of Sugar. That is not a problem. As I say, I would like, and think it would be more logic, to put all code into Sugar directory.

If you need more details, please ask.

Thanks.

Best regards.

You can put the code into custom/include/utils folder. Obviously you have to create these folder if they don´t exist.
There is no a definitive role regarding where to put generic and custom functions, but it is a good idea to put them in an intuitive folder.

So you can invoke these functions from controllers, views and logic_hooks.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer.

I already have the /custom/include folder. I just need to add a /utils folder. We already had a tree of folder. It will be easy to just tranfer it in the /utils folder.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the /custom folder, we can put almost anything? I know from my boss that this folder is upgrade-safe, so it fit perfectly into my needs.
