Suite8 - ModuleNameMapper for custom modules

[anthony.oak.castro]

Hey @Bungle,

I’ve searched the code for the warning message. It comes from: public/legacy/include/portability/ModuleNameMapper.php

From there, by reading the code, I was able to find out that there is a configuration file that maps the legacy module names to front end names.

File: public/legacy/include/portability/module_name_map.php

sample from the file:

    'Prospects' => [
        'frontend' => 'prospects',
        'core' => 'Prospects'
    ],
    'ProspectLists' => [
        'frontend' => 'prospect-lists',
        'core' => 'ProspectLists'
    ],
    'Documents' => [
        'frontend' => 'documents',
        'core' => 'Documents'
    ],

At the end of the file it has an import for custom files, using Suite7’s extension mechanism:

if (file_exists('custom/application/Ext/ModuleNameMap/module_name_map.ext.php')) {
    /* @noinspection PhpIncludeInspection */
    include('custom/application/Ext/ModuleNameMap/module_name_map.ext.php');
}

I did a quick search on the forum for module_name_map and I think you can extend $module_name_map in a upgrade safe way, by doing:

@clemente.raposo

On the fix file public/legacy/custom/Extension/application/Ext/ModuleNameMap/my_module.php in have:

<?php

$module_name_map = $module_name_map ?? [];

$module_name_map['test_MyModule'] = [
    'frontend' => 'my-module',
    'core' => 'test_MyModule'
];

Then I had to do a repair and rebuild.

Hi @Cadej, Thanks for your feedback and for trying on SuiteCRM 8 RC. Could you try the following: Create a file at public/legacy/custom/Extension/application/Ext/ModuleNameMap/my_module.php with the following contents please? Replace MyModule by the name of your module, should be the “machine name” something like ABC_MyModule or similar. Run a repair and rebuild <?php $module_name_map = $module_name_map ?? []; $module_name_map['MyModule'] = [ 'frontend' => 'my-module', 'core' => …

Hi @Cadej, I was able to replicate the issue on my side. I’ve applied the solution I told you and it worked ok. Could you check if the case in the letters of your module name is correct? if you go to public/legacy/custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include there should be a file with the name of your module. In my case I added a MyModule module, with package prefix of test. On public/legacy/custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/MyModule.php I have <?php //WARNING: The contents of this f…

Hi @art, Sorry for the delay. I’m glad you were able get it working. The reference to public/legacy/custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/<file>.php, was just to open it and check the machine name for the module. From what I’ve understood in your case the module name is PKG1_Staff. That module name is the name that should be used on the code inside the public/legacy/custom/Extension/application/Ext/ModuleNameMap/<any_name>.php like $module_name_map = $module_name_map ?? []; $module_na…
