SugarCRM Manifest Development Guide One of the great features of SugarCRM is its extensibility and one way to utilize that extensibility is by creating modules. Modules are generally developed to meet a business need such as the functionality provided by forums, teams or social media integrations. These SugarCRM modules are packaged as zip files and contain a manifest.php file in the root directory that defines how SugarCRM will install the module. This guide will outline and detail all aspects of the SugarCRM manifest file so that you can develop modules more efficiently and with less guess work. |

Module Loader Restrictions SugarCRM's hosting objective is to maintain the integrity of the standard Sugar functionality when we upgrade a customer instance, and limit any negative impact our upgrade has on the customer's modifications. Prior to Sugar 5.2.0j (Patch J), Module Loader did not have the ability to detect whether the changes being uploaded are deemed “upgrade-safe”. For example, if a customer were to upload a module that modified standard Sugar functionality, an upgrade of the instance (new patch, new release) could impact those modifications, resulting in a production problem for the customer. Modifications using the rest of the Developer Tools section of Admin are considered upgrade-safe. This includes Studio, Module Builder, and Workflow. |

Add grandparent fields to your SugarCRM modules When you build custom modules and you create one-to-many relations between them, you can put a link to the parent module in the various views.

This article shows you how to add them. |
