NOTE: This build is only for testing and not to be used for production. Migration from this build to 5.0.4 will not be available..

Why this is not a RC release?
Why there is no migration path to the final 5.0.4?
This is a very welcomed release for those of us that use the previous 5.0.4 …

Why this is not a RC release?
Why there is no migration path to the final 5.0.4?

We are close to GA and hence avoiding RC releases. This build is made available for community validation and testing. Hence we have not planned to provide migration path to final 5.0.4 for this build.

thank you and the whole Team very much for your efforts!!!

I’m not sure, if I got that right, you are NOT providing a migration to final 5.0.4. I would like to propose the following to things:
1. Call that release here 5.0.4 rc2
2. Provide a migration to 5.0.4 final (as you did for 5.0.4 rc to this release)

The two benefits would be:
1. You’ll get a lot more people to test the current release if you provide a migration patch.
2. You don’t cause any confusion about the release of today, everybody know’s what we are talking about if you call it 5.0.4 rc2.

But it’s still up to you…

Thanks again,
Bye,

The following issue I am facing seems for me to be a show stopper as I am not able to do any testing.

I was testing vtiger 504rc and today I installed
“5.0.4rc to 5.0.4: http://vtiger.com/archives/validation/vtigercrm-5.0.4rc-patch1_val_mar4.zip”
hoping that it fixes utf8 problem I was having during the installation.

I was supprised that 504rc2 so called val_mar4 release enforces PHP 5.0.x unlike previous versions.

This is a major major change guys!.. you shouldn’t port environmental changes in a mid release.

Now, considering that I cannot change my hosting company which uses PHP4.6.3 for all of my hosts, should I give up from my CRM solution?

Please consider not to port environmental changes before vtiger become more mature.

vtiger 5.0.4 throws Exception which is not supported in PHP 4.x.

Kindly look at: http://trac.vtiger.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/4905 to get more details and workaround.

Thanks for directing me tracker. However, It didn’t worked for me!

I changed the all instances of exception handling as directed in the tracker but installer still forces pHP 5.x

Forgot to mention, the PHP version check is made in index.php at the beginning, you will have to comment it as well.

if(version_compare(phpversion(), ‘5.0′) < 0) {
insert_charset_header();
require_once('phpversionfail.php');
die();
}

For your information, many issues have been reported as not working with PHP 4.x. I would suggest PHP upgrade if possible.

and I want to change the sequence between the Last Name and First Name，
I want the list leads as
First Name | Last Name | Company | Phone | Website | Email | Assigned To | Action

please help to change the sequence.thank you~~

You can change the sequence by modifying columnindex value related to that list view filter in the table vtiger_cvcolumnlist.

For the All filter of Leads (cvid=1) swap the values of columnindex where
columnname values are:
vtiger_leaddetails:lastname:lastname:Leads_Last_Name:V vtiger_leaddetails:firstname:firstname:Leads_First_Name:V

Hope that helps you.
