Posting leads from WebForm into Sugar

[sangs786]

Hi all,

I am creating new lead in sugarcrm by using webform. To some extent I am sucessfull in importing lead from my webform into the lead fields of SugarCRM. However this I do by using a fixed "Id", but I am unable to generate a random id.

What I want is that Sugar should automatically assign an random id to the lead posts in its database which I have not been able to achieve. Also webform posts should not create duplicate lead insertions.

Please let me know if anyone can suggest me....

With regards,

Sangs

this is so dog darn easy it's not funny...
though only a few outside of the sugar team are familiar with this..
It didn't even take us 2 hours to master this aspect of the sugar framework.

My first editing of the sugar devlopers wiki, today, and
I made it brief, but this is what it was ultimately about..

Read it there... The module & action variable...

What your goal is...is to have YOUR webform POST directly to sugar..
If non-sugar users are using it, you'll need to duplicate the action [php] file
to one with a unique name. Then remove the entry check..
And have your form post directly to sugar..
