SuiteCRM 8 : Struggle with code documenation

How to add a custom javascript action button on views?
e.g. clicking a button on record view to open a popup or something else?

Currently I think there’s only one person in the world who knows the answer, but he’s too busy developing :slight_smile: , to find time to create docs… :frowning:

Although I did hear him promise that there was time scheduled very soon to do some work on helping out developers with SuiteCRM v8.

I was expecting a better answer on my question… which is not in title of topic, it is inside actually topic.

Any hope in getting Code Documentation?

Will this never be available? Are we going to not have documentation ever?

Not too good to depend on a single person. I generally find migration to SuiteCRM 8 is stack backwards and very very risky. We moved and we are not happy with it. Mostly with speed, layout, and in general it’s buggy. We’d love to fork it ourselves and and fix it to fit our needs. For this we’d love docs.

This can be solved quite simply by all the people using SuiteCRM for free pulling together and subsidizing SalesAgility to hire more people into the Team.

It’s not too good to depend on a single company to sponsor the work of many, many others. Funny enough, many companies that use SuiteCRM are vastly bigger and richer than SalesAgility.

The question has been raised to provide a code sample to accomplish basic things.

  1. Extending views and fields
  2. Triggering Javascript on views.
    3)Adding more actions.
    Many many want to move to Suite8 but cannot as their old development will not work. This is where initial code documentation is required.

i still can`t find samples for such basic customizations.

Does anybody use Sugar8 in Production already? If so i suppose without code-customizations.

There is still not much documentation, but there were a few relevant additions lately.

In the top level of the docs, at docs.suitecrm.com there is a section called “recently updated pages”, have a look there.

There is also a new package in the releases just for dev purposes.

Is there any update on this thread , any news on Development guide to extend Views?

In this page

you will find that these two are new:

Process API
Front-end logic

You can track these things easily right from the front-page of the Docs, in the Recently Edited section.
