export

hello friends I just updated my sugar from 4.2.1d to 6.1.7, and I have one question:

is possible to export modules from 4.2.1d in order to install in sugar version 6.1.7? I reply myself: I think that this isn't possible, because sugar v.4.2.1 hasn't module builder or studio, so for have these modules in sugar v.6.1.7, I will have to create these modules again.....but I'm not sure of this....

could anyone suggest in this?

Thanks in advance, Daniel

Theorically yes, but I don't recommend that. I suggest you to recreate the module through Module Builder. That should be easy enough, once you know how such module must work.

Hi andopes! Thanks!

And do you know if is a safe way do it by hand in this way?

1. Copying the directory /modules/mymodule/ (from the old version) into /modules (new version)
2. Copying the directory /custom/modules/mymodule/ (from the old version) into custom/modules (new version)
3. Copying the file custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/mymodule.php (from the old version) into custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/ (new version)
4. Modify include/modules.php in order to add my module:

1. $moduleList[] = 'mymodule';
2. $beanList['mymodule'] = 'mymodule';
3. $beanFiles['mymodule'] = 'modules/mymodule/mymodule.php';

Making this, I find my module in administration > tabs manager, in order to add it.

Regards, Daniel

It MAY work, but it depends on how that module was implemented. It may use some old SugarCRM classes obsoletes nowadays.
