import for custom fields and custom modules

[waverider]

Hello,

I have 2 questions about importing data.

1. Is there a way to add some hooks for Account and Contact import? I have some custom fields that are kept in a different bean/table. And I need a custom logic on some fields on import.
2. Is there some import support provided by SugarCRM 5 CE for custom modules or I'll have to code that from zero?

Thanks

1) I would suggest adding a new method on the module's bean and then call it from the the bean's save method.

2) In 5.1, this will be available.

Thanks for the reply, John.

Is there a way to find out in before_save hook if there is an import in progress.

Or I have to modify core code save method? Is there a way here to find out if the function call happens during import?
