Just started implementing SugarCRM CE in our company and found SuiteCRM by looking at AOS. Iāve installed SuiteCRM locally and love it so far. From the short amount of time Iāve used it, one thing would be the need to integrate Contracts with the PDF templates module (unless I missed something and itās already there). Iām guessing it wouldnāt be too difficult since you already have it in place for Invoices and Quotes.
Hi staganyi,
Please see this forum topic which discusses how to implement the Print to PDF functionality on modules such as Contracts.
Thanks,
Will.
Excellent (iāll take your word that it works lol).
But can you add it to SuiteCRM to avoid having to do the manual work (specifically for contracts)? I can see all my deployments having this requirement and not having to customize each one would be great.
Iāve got the same issue in making the āGenerate Letterā option for pdf templates available in Contracts and other custom modules. iāve read the topic and have no idea what steps to take to insert ārequire_once(āmodules/AOS_PDF_Templates/formLetter.phpā);ā. There is not a view.detail.php for contracts or any of my custom modules and this directory doesnāt exist: /custom/modules//views/view.detail.php for any custom module.
Please help clear my confusionā¦
I am also interested in this PDF print function / templating under contracts.
Is this already added to the newer suiteCRM (7.1.1.) or must it still come, or is there no intention of adding it to contracts? (Seems to me a very useful function under contracts and many other -custom- modules.)
Thanks.
Someone please help. Will why dont you give a step by step guide to do it. THIS CLEARLY IS IMPORTANT. The topic you have linked is old.
Why isnāt this capability added anyway! Please help this is very important. I will keep bumping this until we get a step by step guide buz itās clear that everybody needs this!!
BUMBUMBUBMBUMBUMBUMBPPPPP!!!
The functionality clearly is not standard so in order to implement it you have to be a programmer, Will would have to sit and write a step by step guide telling people who are not programmers ever single line of code and exaclty where to put. Many people would no doubt still get it wrong and start asking for further help and so onā¦
It may be made standard at some point if enough people want it, its just down to time.
I will look into whats involved in doing this and see if its feasible to write an idiot-proof guide.
That would be great because to me, this is the most obvious case of a module needing to be integrated with pdf templates.
Finally some sort of response! Yes please, idiot-proof in 7000 languages, doesnāt matter as long as we get there! Please try to also try to integrate the following:
- Print as PDF
- Email Contract
- Email as PDF
- Convert to Invoice
I would also love it if we can Create a Contract from Opportunity. Thanks!
Please. Any updates?
We also require this help! Being able to add PDF templates would benefit us and our clients and make this system even more powerful!
I hope a solution comes soon
Thanks
We are all very busy here please be patient.
Also I am trying to get this put into the next version of suite as the missing PDF functionality from contracts is really just an oversight.
Youāre awesome! Thanks for the effort!
Hello Andy
Above Will referred to this forum - http://www.salesagility.com/index.php/forum/8-aos-5x/2642-creating-pdf-for-custom-module#4031
This forum ends with getting a quote from SuiteCRM for this work to be done
Can you guide me to where I can get a quote for this?
Thanks
It seems that itās taking way longer for a just a couple of lines code. Can you guys just tell us how to do it. I created a custom module anyway and Iād like to add āEmailā āEmail as PDFā and āPrint as PDFā.
Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Good news guys. The pdf template functionality has been added to contracts and should be out on Monday. :woohoo:
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Cant wait till Monday. Please direct me to other forums that will explain how to ad pdf functionality in my custom module. Thanks.
ITāS MONDAY!!! ITāS MONDAY!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
This might be of some help:
Hey Andy,
I just upgrade the crm. The pdf buttons on the Contracts Module are no where to be found!! :ohmy: :pinch:
