After a long try, I am able to migrate my suitecrm application to SuiteCRM-8.2.2. But unfortunately, I don’t see the navigation menu. Also, the notification icon is missing from the top right corner.
Yes, this SuiteCRM 8 is itself strange. It behaves oddly every time I start to test. Some times api/graphql returns a 403 error. Sometimes switching php 7.4 and PHP 8.0 works. I don’t see any proper documentation as well.
It doesn’t help much, it only eliminates a slim chance that it was something peculiar about your browser.
I’m sorry but I can’t help much further, from a distance. I’ve installed quite a few v8’s, and after some initial fights with web root settings, and mod_rewrites, if I follow the installation instructions, it works. It’s not that hard to install.
There must be some bug, or some configuration detail, that is making your experience such a failure.
Maybe try a different stack. Ubuntu with regular LAMP stack is probably the most tested.
I am on the LAMP stack. Let me share my debugging output if that will help. Please check the screenshot. If I commented out the below code, I see the “ALL”. Here navigation.groupedTabs is empty. I am not an angular guy, so I could not figure it out. Can you help me? If this is the reason for the missing navigation menu.
if (!ready([navigation.tabs, navigation.modules, navigation.groupedTabs])) {
return;
}
Are you actually rebuilding the front-end after making those changes? I assume you must be, if you’re seeing different behaviors.
I suggest removing the different items one by one to see which one is “not ready” when it should. Again, this is just a further step diagnosing, but I don’t know what to do after you discover, so it might not be worth the effort…
So, try
if (!ready([navigation.tabs, navigation.modules])) {
return;
}
then
if (!ready([navigation.tabs, navigation.groupedTabs])) {
return;
}
I’ve ran into this very same problem but only from a preexisting 7 instance (new 7 instances upgrade to 8 like a charm)
upgrade from 7.13 to 8.3
the commands were executed without error messages.
I think it has something to do with the language files
When going back to the CRM
GlobalLinks are rendered without labels, However without text to fill the a tag they can’t be clicked on.
in fact, most places I look it would seem the labels are very broken.
Leads detail view has only 3 or 4 visible field labels
I discovered that the update steps failed around the part where it should be installing the portability folder in the “legacy-pre-install” step. I tried to hunt down the causes for it but the command line interface swallows the error message and I couldn’t find a log for it.
There’s something different about the deployment we use “my company” over a brand new one,
I know that we’ve had our CRM for many years and I’ve updated it a few times before testing my 7 to 8 update with it.
I’ve since moved onto other things but when I get the time I can start a test instance from 7.10 and updating up to 7.13.3 then give it another go.
If it fails then the community has something to go on
