SuiteCRM 8 General Feedback

Hi @Edun,

Welcome to the community! :wave: and thank you for trying out SuiteCRM 8 and your feedback.

Regarding the questions you’ve mentioned:

1. Full documentation

Our plan is to continue releasing more and more documentation as we go along.
We are focusing on the new parts first. Mostly the new front-end extension framework and how to extend the new Suite 8 backend.

We have just released the first articles on the front end extensions, you can find the on Developer Guide. From this guide the current status is:

2. Documentation Repo

Yes, its the following one.

3. Module loader and custom modules

From a metadata perspective, you should be able to add all new module metadata using the existing module structure.

The module loader has been updated to support adding SuiteCRM 8 side extensions to the /extensions folder. More documentation on that soon.

Regarding the module architecture, at the moment is mostly the same, with same metadata and same place to add the files. However, there are some new module specific files that can only be added on Suite 8 side, like “Statistics” (chart data and others) for example.

Hope this helps. If you have more questions or any of the above wasn’t clear, please feel free to reach out.
