SugarCRM 7 - Extending a View
Continuing on our journey of adding a global menu item, last week I covered how to pass data through to our custom menu option. However, I did so by simply copying over the core profileactions .hbt and .js file over to custom which leaves it vulnerable to being overwritten by some other add-on down the road. To minimize that risk I will now cover how to create a custom view that extends the core profileactions view.
SugarCRM 7 - Passing Data to Views
Expanding on last week's example, we now look at how to pass data to the menu item to make the URL built specifically for the user who is currently logged in. A custom javascript object is created for a view along with a custom client API method that extends an existing endpoint.
SugarCRM 7 - Adding a Global Menu Item
SugarCRM 7 is here and it is time to start digging under the hood. Along with it is a whole new, powerful way of customizing SugarCRM. This is a good thing. It’s an opportunity to rewrite our add-ons for our users which is one of those things developers always say that we’ll get to some time. In this example, we look at how to add a menu item to the global profile menu.

Upgrading Your Modules for SugarCRM 7
SugarCRM 7 is here. Well, sort of. For new customers who are On Demand at least. What this means is that the traffic light has turned from green to yellow and modules for SugarCRM 6.x need to start making progress towards 7.x compatibility. From our experiences with 7, there will be some hills to climb initially to figure out best practices for converting existing functionality to the new ways of doing things. Thankfully there are some great resources already available out there.
