vtiger CRM 5.4.0 to coreBOS 5.4.0 Changes

Comments on important changes

There are full details of the change on the ticket and some have their own wiki page with an explanation, this is just a quick call of attention.

re-branding and adapting

We had to change the vtiger company references, for legal issues and also to not confuse the user base, but in our effort to convert this project into a useful tool for many business we went the extra mile and did it in a way that you can easily change the name and logo of the application in one place and get a customized installer with no reference to coreBOS (or vtiger). We will continue to go down this path making it easier both for the implementor and the final user of the software.

In coreBOS 5.4 you can change the variables

$coreBOS_app_name ='coreBOS';
$coreBOS_app_url = 'http://corebos.org';

that are in the vtigerversion.php file and then change the logo in include/install/images/app_logo.png and the themes/images/favicon.ico (just one in one place!) and you should not see any references to coreBOS (we are not completely there yet)

Global search direct access

With this enhancement if the global search only finds one record, it will open that record in Detail View directly for you

Report totals for inventory modules

This one is important; the sum of totals of invoice columns in report is not the same as on the summary block

Reporting on product lines of inventory modules

some important improvements there

This is related to the failing Mass Edit problem, whereas if you search on the list view and then launch a mass action you really do it on all the records not on the selected subset.

set of minor bug fixes appeared along the last two years

You should have these if you are working with vtiger CRM 5.4: ~~issue:92~~ (most of our clients do)

Event and Task workflows not respecting AM/PM selection

~~issue:86~~

config-dev.inc.php: config.inc.php developer override

This is a “must have” if you are developing with coreBOS. thanks to this include we can put the client's config.inc.php under version control and still have each programmer working on the project install it on their local computer for development as they can override any configuration variable locally.

protect some sensitive directories from web access

Interesting security enhancement

On send PDF by email fill in email address by default

Interesting enhancement which supports B2C model also

Duplicate Filter

Adds the functionality to duplicate (Save as) any filter
