Pulling info from Sugar to another website?

[Dustin09]

I'm coming into Sugar not knowing a whole lot. I have been trying to find the answer to this question for the past couple of hours. I looked into SOAP and leads, but only left confused.
Basically what I want to do is pull info. from my custom module in Sugar and view some of the fields on a page hosted outside of Sugar. I need to know what database strings and such to put.
Sugar Version 5.2.0k (Build 5837)

If you look to the examples in your sugar installation (directory examples), you can see how to load data from sugarcrm into your own web application.
Surely you can access the database directly but the SOAP interface gives you upgrade security and easy access to the objects of sugarcrm.

I know it's been frustrating the crap out of me. I entered my username and password and everytime I try to load the examples I get, "Not A Valid Entry Point". Is there something I'm leaving out?

[kuske]

Oh yeah,

the first line of the SOAP examples is wrong !!!

Change it from

if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

to

if(!defined('sugarEntry'))define('sugarEntry', true);

That helps a lot, now just got to figure out how to work it. I logged into "SoapTest" and all that popped up was "LOGIN:"

Did you unprotect the examples directory?

Just open the file /.htaccess

If it looks like this:

# BEGIN SUGARCRM RESTRICTIONS
RedirectMatch 403 (?i).*\.log$
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+not_imported_.*\.txt
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+(soap|cache|xtemplate|data|examples|include|log4p hp|metadata|modules)/+.*\.(php|tpl)
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+emailmandelivery\.php
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+cache/+upload
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+files\.md5$
# END SUGARCRM RESTRICTIONS

you must remove the examples directory in that kind:

# BEGIN SUGARCRM RESTRICTIONS
RedirectMatch 403 (?i).*\.log$
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+not_imported_.*\.txt
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+(soap|cache|xtemplate|data|include|log4php|metada ta|modules)/+.*\.(php|tpl)
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+emailmandelivery\.php
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+cache/+upload
RedirectMatch 403 (?i)/+files\.md5$
# END SUGARCRM RESTRICTIONS


Then you should get the login panel of the SoapTest.php, in which you can type a valid userid and password of a sugar user to start the test.

[Dustin09]

Yes I did that, but when I login I get everything up to LOGIN: to print and it just stops

[kuske]

Oh I see,

did you change the SOAP Server address to your own SOAP address?

$soapclient = new nusoapclient('http://localhost/sugarcrm/soap.php'); //define the SOAP Client an

[Dustin09]

Yes, I've done that

[kuske]

Mmmmhhh...

can you post your file here?
