I needed this for a talk, and could not find a vector logo anywhere. So I knocked one up and it would be rude not to share. All the workings are in the SVG (the traced bitmap and layers that may be useful) as well as the final vectors. Update August 2015 The logo I […]

SugarCRM CE Codebase Improvements Wishlist
Since SugarCRM CE has now been forked as SuiteCRM, given the uncertainly of its ongoing support from the company behind it, I thought it time to start putting my wishlist codebase improvements that will help make it a lot more maintainable and usable. These are simply things that I have found a royal pain to […]
Query SugarCRM Contacts by Email Address over the API
Update (2013-12-19): I have found a great technique that allows custom queries to be written and accessed through the API, and without having to customise the API at all. It involves creating a simple module then switching its main table for a view. I’ll write this up in a later article, but what it does […]
REST API Library for SugarCRM
I’m working on this library for a couple of projects, and it may be useful if you want to talk to SugarCRM from your PHP application: https://github.com/academe/sugarrestapi The library contains access to all of SugarCRM’s REST API functions (V4, so far) and attempts to wrap the Sugar data up into a number of models (Entry, […]
SugarCRM: relate field passing default values to pop-up select form
Note: This article needs some pictures, which I will do in good time. These are notes on how to set up a pop-up select form on a relate field in SugarCRM 6.5 to default to a value from the parent form. So for example, you have a module Job Applications, and each application is made […]
SugarCRM Module Builder – Deploying A Module Craps Over Other Modules
The bugs and limitations in SugarCRM Module Builder are infuriating, and the support that the company provides (and I don’t mean free one-to-one support) is appalling. I am finding that building more than one module at the same time in Module Builder is a big no-no. When you deploy a module, it will remove some […]
SugarCRM Module Builder – Adding Logic Hooks
I am using Module Builder in SugarCRM to construct some custom modules for a project. A module consists of a central table to hold data, fields that map onto that table, layouts of those fields on various forms and display pages, and relationships between the module and other modules. All these things can be manipulated […]
SugarCRM and mod_ruid2
We tried suPHP on our servers for a short time. What suPHP does, is run PHP as the same user as owns that website. It will then only execute PHP scripts that are owned by that same user, and are not writeable by the group, i.e. not writeable by any other user. The idea of […]
Apache Segmentation Fault (11) – related to memory
This is a problem we have on both a dedicated server and a VPS. It is not something I’ve seen before and cannot find any descriptions of others seeing it. I’m logging it here in case a solution comes walking past, so I have my fingers crossed. We are running: CentOS 6.4 Apache/2.2.15 PHP 5.3.19 […]
SugarCRM cache directory – it is NOT a cache directory!
SugarCRM has a difrectory called “cache”. When the application runs, PHP scripts, JavaScript, CSS, images and so on, are cached in there. This is how SugarCRM allows modules to plug into other modules; the cached PHP scripts combine together lots of smaller scripts across the full range of modules. But that is not all the […]
