After a few weeks of looking around, digging into example after example after example, I finally stumbled across a simple method to dynamically hide a panel on the Detail and Edit View in SugarCRM. As you’re probably aware, SugarCRM has a ton of business logic hooks, whether for the application frame, the modules themselves, or the [...]
Today I’m going to write about sending a file attachment to SugarCRM via the SOAP API. The setup, as in previous posts, is a LAMP web server running our main web site on WordPress–and the cForms plugin to process form input data. You don’t need cForms, but it’s a great plugin that will help you manage multiple types of forms on your WordPress site. It also has its own API, which allows you to run PHP code when a form is submitted. If you’re not using WordPress or cForms, that’s ok, too.

Under an agreement that is still being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, [...]
This is my third tutorial on the SugarCRM SOAP API. It’s slightly more advanced than the last two, so if you are new to the SOAP API, you should probably start with this one. If you are looking for more tutorials on SugarCRM SOAP API, (as always) LornaJane’s blog is a great intro, and the [...]

Something that has been plaguing my SugarCRM SOAP API implementation: inserting dates into the Leads module. Just as in any other module, we have at least one date field. In this case, an “Expected Start Date” field for various fee-for-service inquiries is the culprit. Our original insert code for this field looked like this: array(“name” [...]

Quite an interesting take on Systems Consciousness. Enjoy. Man is God. He is everywhere, he is anybody, he knows everything. This is the Prometeus new world. All started with the Media Revolution, with Internet, at the end of the last century. Everything related to the old media vanished: Gutenberg, the copyright, the radio, the television, [...]
