Portal to Joomla

[CreatorsFire]

We have SugarCRM 6.1.3 Community Edition installed and working but want to make a connection to Joomla. Before I spend any more time will someone confirm whether of not the portal has been disabled in this edition?
Thanks,
Mike

What do you need your Portal to link to in Sugar? If you need to sync Accounts/Contacts in Sugar with Users in Joomla, Hedron4 from SouthwestCRM might be a solution. It works with Community Builder and CBSubs so you are able to create custom fields in both and keep these fields in sync.

Thanks for your response but will it work with the community edition? Is it open source?

Well, what you´re looking for is probably a Joomla plugin that connects to SugarCE.
SugarCE offers everything you need via SOAP/REST to allow easy access from Joomla, Typo3 or any other CMS framework to retrieve and write user data from/into SugarCRM.

Here´s some examples that should get you started:

Hi Mike

Yes it works with CE. Its all open sourced based. There is a small cost to pay for the download but it's a one-off amount not recurring subscription

Hi madmat,
I do have a Joomla plugin for Sugar that uses SOAP however it requires the "Portal User API" and the "Portal User API Password". In my search of these forums it appears that the portal setup has been disabled in newer versions of SugarCE. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for the links; I will check them out.

Thanks for your time,
Mike
