Vtiger CRM 5.0.4 - Validation Part II
November 22nd, 2007 by Asha
First of all, thank you all for the great support you have provided to us in the validation part I of vtigerCRM 5.0.4. We kindly request you to provide us with the same support in the validation part II of the vtigerCRM 5.0.4.
In this build we have focussed mainly on the security issues to avoid the sql injection attacks. For this we have changed most of the SQL statements to Prepared Statements. Some of the other major issues that we have addressed are as follows:
1. Selective Export of Records
2. Import/Export functionalities for Trouble Tickets & Vendors module
3. Outgoing Server configuration with Gmail SMTP
4. UTF-8 support for WebMail
5. FTP Backup Script Fix
6. Migration Support
7. HTML Based E-mail Templates
8. Role based PickList
and many more (Refer the Release Notes)
Kindly post your valuable feedbacks and suggestions to us.
NOTE: This is a development build released only for testing purposes and not meant to be used in production.

Hi,
hopefully i was trying to setup a lead in the 2.0.4 demo:
Name: Rüdiger Bärlauch Company: Teßtfirma
UTF-8 works fine, good job, AAA!
Have been waiting so long for a functioning version. My dreams finally came true. Bought a commercial version from somebody taking care of his users - open source sucks!
Uuuups did i wrote 2.0.4? Hehe - perhaps because nothing changed since this version? Of course i hopefully (no kiddin) tested 5.0.4 demo…
Never the less - if you can’t work with software its useless - even if it doesn’t cost a dime.
VtigerVM was setup for carrying out various part ii validation tasks and a screen shot from the testing is here
Tried 5.0.4 demo system as I was trying to see if the multicurrency feature properly worked with production of quotes, invoices etc, but found that it was impossible to add a product to a quote as the system said ‘no products relatedd’ despite logging in as admin and being able to see a complete list of available products for sale in the sales module.
what’s going on ? - it seems we might be going backwards !
Kurt
Hi,
George: We have added the issue to our track, some fix is to be integrated in the product which will be done soon.
Kurt: When adding product to existing quote, we try to list related products. To get all products you have to click ‘Show All Products’, this is a some feature we are trying for now. Please bear with us.

Hi,
Looks great! Especially the HTML-Mail Support and the selective export.
Is there already a planed release date for 5.0.4?
Regards,

I would appreciate a more or less precise release date, too.
Thanks,

Hey, What´s this multicurrency kurt is talking about. Can´t find it and needing it! thanks
Hi Slipperyman,
I hope Kurt is pointing out to feature of where each user can have his own currency,
and create quotes/invoice etc with it. We have added a small bug fix to this over vtiger 5.0.3
We are planning to have more support for multicurrency in our future major releases.

Hi,
I just instaled the 5.0.4 verison and looks good!.
One question, I´m still unable to add incoming emails to trouble tickets… is this a functionality that will be available in future releases? Am I missing something?
Regards,
Luis
Hi Luis,
Right now the incoming mails cannot be connected to any other modules (including trouble tickets). No such functionality has be added in this release. Please bear with us for such functionalities in our future releases.
Please refer to the ticket #4024 reported on trac.

Hi,
In my 5.0.4 installation (I donwloaded the exe package) the advanced filter tab (contacts, accounts) is not working (firefox & IE). In the online demo it is. Also the custom field functionality, new reports, etc. are not working.
Will there be a full functional 5.0.4 validation version available for download? Or should this be working and something went wrong during my installation?
Thanks, Philip
hi asha
thank you for your reply it was really helping

gaurav
Hi guys,
vtiger is really great, the only thing I miss is a planned release date of 5.0.4.
I agree, that it needs to be stable, but I would like to know more about the timeline, as I have to line it up with other activities.
Thanks,
Markus
Hi,
Philip: The validation build that we have put out is a functional one. It should be working fine. Did you face any problem during installation?
Markus: We are very close to the release. Please bear with us for a very short time.

Asha

Hi Asha,
That’s great news, “very short” in my interpretation means before christmas.
can you conform? ;-))
Thanks,
Markus
Hi Markus,
I think they are doing a really good job by releasing a stable vtiger 5.0.4.
And “very short time” is to my understanding before christmas.
Bye,
Tom
Hi Asha,
I only discoverd this issues in the Windows (I used the exe download link above) installation. I also installed now the 5.0.4 on linux, every works fine there. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Philip
This version can use to IBM Lotus Note?
Thank you.
Hi Philip,
There might be an issue with the maximum execution time setting in php.ini.
It takes more time on Windows, but not on Linux. Seems like you have problem with this. Try changing the max execution time. This may help you.
In php.ini, you need to change the value for
max_execution_time.
Let me know if this helps you.
Regards,
Asha
Hi Asha,
Thanks for the advise. But there seems something to be wrong with my installation in generell. I installed the 5.0.4 after uninstalling the 5.0.3 I tested before. Now I tried to reinstall the 5.0.3 and it is also not working. Looks like I have to setup my Windows from scratch. The 5.0.4 is working fine on my Linux-System.
Thanks,
Philip
