Publishing & Installing modules in another sugarcrm instance

[prajeesh]

Hi,

I created one custom module. Also I modified some of the common files like modules\DynamicFields\DynamicField.php , data\SugarBean.php and added some new php files in the root folder(For ajax calls). Now When I publish/export the module, It doesn't take care about the modifications done in the common files or the files which are added into the root folder.

I would like to know whether any module installers are available which will also take care of the changes we do outside the module. Please guide me.


Thanks ,
Prajeesh.

Hi Prajeesh

Nowadays only upgrade patch override these files you had modified.
It is possible some other module package override these same file, but I believe it is a good programming approach.

To identify other module packages which override these files you should extract its installer.
SugarCRM frequently provide hooks which enable you modify the system behaviour in an upgrade safe way.

Cheers

Hi andopes,

Thank you for your answer . Is It possible to create new custom files for a particular module which will do the work of files like modules\DynamicFields\DynamicField.php or data\SugarBean.php . In that case I don't have to worry about the upgrade patches and I will be able to export my custom module without touching the core files like DynamicField.php or SugarBean.php. Please give me an idea.

Thanks,
Prajeesh
