I'm a php developer but haven't yet worked with Sugar CRM yet. Where do i find the files for dashlet charts?
Tried editing the files inside modules/Charts/ but there were no change found in front end.
modules/Charts/Dashlets/{Dashlet}/{Dashlet}.php
Taken from the documentation, which also includes a guide.
You'll ideally want to make the changes in custom/modules... though.

Hopefully someone can help me, I'm new to EPiServer and have been given a data migration task. We are using the latest version 8.5. I need to migrate content from a clients home grown CMS (that luckily is in a tree like structure) to EPiServer. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information about this on the web - perhaps I just don't know the right thing to search for.
It looks like using the EPiServer.ServiceApi might be the route to go but again locating useful documentation is proving difficult.
I was thinking of setting up the client CMS in SQL Server and writing a simple console application to call the EPiServer.ServiceApi inserting the content. If anyone has any information on this or better still and example i would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Dan
If you are just importing content from another CMS I would write a scheduled job in EPiServer:
http://world.episerver.com/code/dannymurphy/Stoppable-Scheduled-Job-with-feedback/
That job then uses the standard IContentRepository to create content:
http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/8/Content/Persisting-IContent-instances/
That way you can run it whenever you want and have access to EPiServers complete API. Also you can see progress of the import through the job status.
In the job you can read the content as a file in any format you like or directly from the source CMS database or some xml or RSS feed perhaps.
I have moved content from PHP, Java and .NET CMS this way. In .NET you could even access the source CMS via WCF or SOAP if available.
The ServiceApi is relatively new and more focused on Commerce products and media assets rather than CMS page and block content so I wouldn't use that.
There is complete documentation below for the ServiceApi by the way, did you not find it?
http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/EPiServer-Service-API/
Regarding language management you can read more in the below links:
http://cjsharp.com/blog/2013/04/11/working-with-localization-and-language-branches-in-episerver-7-mvc/
http://tedgustaf.com/blog/2010/5/create-a-new-page-language-branch-programmatically-in-episerver/
Basically you have two options for multiple languages. If the content is just straight translations you should create nine different language versions (branches) of the same page. You can also have multiple sites in an EPiServer installation but that requires 9 separate licenses (and the associated costs).
I've done a lot of EpiServer content migration projects. The easiest way if it's possible is to export your current sites tree in Json and then import that into EpiServer. I've had to do it on a recent project and mixed with Json.net it's pretty easy.
If you want to go that route you can find all the code to do it here: EpiServer Content Migration With Json.Net/
Ok so i just purchased a new sugarcrm professional instance on sugarcrm and I would like to add some custom logic to my leads. I would like to add them to an external service (mailchimp) through their api. ive seen that I have to create some custom php files, but I dont know how to upload them to my instance, and how is the structure of that upload. any help would be appreciated
You should create your Hook and subsequently created the installation package to install using Module Loader. Try to follow the guidance that you find here Creating an Installable Package for a Logic Hook

Inline Relational Record Editing is the answer. Handy stuff.

QUESTION
I created a front-end plugin using extension builder in TYPO3 6.1.0. For this plugin, extension builder of course generates few default forms in the backend. However, my intention is to have the forms customized. My plugin has 3 tables related it and all these have to be integrated to be inputted from one common form, than having individual forms, which is not ideal.
Do I configure my TCA stuff for this ?.. If so, please suggest me some good tutorials on that.
Or will using FlexForm do the trick ?...also please suggest some good tutorials.
I also checked out Flux, but did not quite understand the architecture of it.
Thank You :)
EDIT:
I want forms to give the user to fill in records. Lets say I have an extension for creating Calendar Events. I need a form, in the TYPO3 backend, through which an administrator can add events and its details.
I have successfully installed a plugin called "Plotalot", which draws flashcharts, on my Joomla! 1.7.
I have unfortunately installed the free version of it because I want to be sure it's useful, and the free version comes with the component-tool only and not with the plugin (It's cheap, but I hate purchasing stuff that's not worth using).
With the component-tool on the backend site I'm able to create new charts, edit existing charts and I'm also capable of seeing a demonstration of the chart that I just made on the backend site.
But, when I try to see the chart on the frontend site, I only see the tags which I wrote in an Article and no chart. In this case: {plotalot id="1"}
I've been in touch with this customer support guy on this matter, and all he can say is that it should be a chart when i write {plotalot id="1"} if there's a chart with the ID=1. Which it does
Does anyone have any experience on how plugins or component-tools in Joomla! 1.7 works and how they can be displayed in an Article?
I would very much appreciate if someone can help me :)
Kind regards, Steve-O
I'm also a Plotalot user. Your question does not make sense. If you installed the free version, you did not install a plugin, you installed a component. Plotalot does not draw flash charts, it draws Google charts. If you want a chart in an article, buy the plugin. And read the user guide, it explains all of this very clearly.
you have to use some tags in the article in which you want to display the charts.The tags will be explained in the documentation of the plug in
eg:we use {flashchart data="50,60,70,80,90,60|109,120,100,130,140,100"} sample01{/flashchart}
to display flash chart.
I looking for either an open source (or otherwise) php script/library/code that will provide me with a similar email composer that Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor have.
I've played around with lots of wysiwyg editors (eg: tinymce, ckeditor) but, they don't work very well for allowing users to compose emails.
Mosaico Editor is the first open source email template builder of this kind (AFAIK).
You can find a free to use deployment (working also as live demo) at http://mosaico.io and you can get sources at https://github.com/voidlabs/mosaico
I choose blocks from a set defined by the "master template", then you fill you contents and change their styles in a WYSIWYG style. If you're on a large window you can also have live preview for the mobile version.
The master template defines what are the blocks, what you can edit and what you can style and it contains any html trick to make it compatible with most clients: this means you can change the editor behaviour a lot by simply writing a new master template.
It is 99% javascript (IE10+, and any other modern browser) and depends on server-side functions only to do "final inlining" and "image upload/resizing"
Next generation tool for building templates without coding
Grapejs official site
GrapesJS is an open-source, multi-purpose, Web Builder Framework which combines different tools and features with the goal to help you (or users of your application) to build HTML templates without any knowledge of coding. It's a perfect solution to replace the common WYSIWYG editors, which are good for content editing but inappropriate for creating HTML structures. You can see it in action with the official demos, but using its API you're able to build your own editors.
I'm in the process of building one but as a designer it is a work in progress! I'd suggest looking at PHP template engines. They have a similar functionality. Most however will use php variables inside the html page instead of tags.
Another oprion is to check out Perch it is officially a CMS, but is really lightweight and might get the job done for you.
Hope that helps even though it is a year after you posted the question...
EDIT: Actually just stumbled across this thread which links to the new CKEditor - looks pretty cool.
