Custom Fields e.g. Business Card section

[maximillian64]

Hello All - my first posting

Our environment
----------------- nothing special here --------
Sugar Version Version 4.5.1 (Build 1197)
Category CONTACTS
Operating System Debian Sarge
PHP Version 5.1.x
Database MySQL 5.x
Web Server Apache 2.2.x
---------------- ----------------------------------------


We sucessfully added in the Studio 4 custom fields in the SugarCrm OpenSource version to enhance customers contacts with custom fields (type Checkbox) like e.g. "contact is VIP", "Subscriber of A" , "Subscriber of B", "blacklisted" etc.

Good first Results: Stodio
We added them to all contact modules so this custom fields now can be shown, entered, listed and searched. So far congratulation - i couldnt get that in the 4.2.x versions.

How to add additional Languages for Custom Fields ..
I logged then out and loged in as "German" then as "Russian" language User and added to the Details in the Studio the Field Tags in this Languages. (i was not able to manage that loged in as english Admin.

Problem: how to add the custom fields to the Business Card ?
Only trouble entering the Contact Data, we usualy use the "Business Card" entry.

I browesed shortly the forum and found - there have been some requests
but how to add a custom field to the e.g. business cards entry form - no details. ?

Q: Is it still so complicated ( do i need / hire a PHP Professional) to get that done ?
Q: is this maybe better in the payed versions of Sugar CRM - ?
Q: or does there exist a cooking book whichs i culpable not found ?


any feedback appriciated by me (a non programmer) and our sales staff
thanks to the forum anyway for the education i got
