Sending to PHP page

**inv** · 2011-02-01, 07:49 AM

Hello everybody,

I'm using the free Sugar CRM and I would like to add some special functionalities.
Therefore, I want to use an external module written in GWT.
As input for this module, I need many parameters from Sugar (opportunity, current user ...). After having searched on the sugar sites, it seems to me that the only solution is to have a php script gathering every information I need and then call my external module.

I plan to use the "url" field in the opportunity module to go on my php page. I already tried to add the following php page:

Code:

<html>

<head>
</head>

<body>
<?php

global $current_user;
echo $current_user->user_name;  

?>
</body>
</html>

The link to this page works but the page doesn't display anything and it's source code is empty.

Are there some steps I did forget ?
Do you have any hints ?

In the documentation I saw something about writing an action, do I have to do this ?

Thank you for your help !
Inv.

Hi inv

Where did you save this script? How are you calling it?

Cheers

Hello,

First, thank you for your reply !

I put my script at the root of the CRM application (same directory as the index.php).

I called it with the url field of the opportunity. The url's value is: "localhost/CRM/test.php" (I access my suger with localhost/CRM/index.php).

When I click on the url, my browser is going to my test page (the urlbar indicates the test.php file).

Best regards,
Inv.

So you need to include the include/entryPoint.php. This script will load all SugarCRM environment in order to let you access all SugarCRM features, including $current_user, $db and so on.
Take a look at cron.php for reference.

Hello,

Thank you very much andopes, I took example on the cron.php file and it works !

Here is my simple php script:

Code:

<html>

<head>
</head>

<body>

<?php
	if(!defined('sugarEntry'))define('sugarEntry', true);
	require_once('include/entryPoint.php');
	
	global $current_user;
	$current_user = new User();
	$current_user->getSystemUser();
	
	$id = $current_user->id;
	$team_id = $current_user->default_team;  

	echo 'User name: '.$current_user->user_name.'<br/>';  
	echo 'Team ID: '.$team_id.'<br/>';
	echo 'Id: '.$id.'<br/>'; 
	echo 'Last name: '.$current_user->last_name.'<br/>';
?>
</body>

</html>

This is perfectly working.

Best regards,
Inv.
