Modifying the TinyMCE Editor Overview This article is a brief overview on how to modify the default settings for the TinyMCE editor by creating an override file. There are two different overrides that can be applied to buttons and default settings. Overriding Buttons The first override file is for the toolbar buttons. To do this, you must create ./custom/include/tinyButtonConfig.php. Within this file, you will be able to override the button layout for the TinyMCE editor. There are 3 different layouts you can change: default : Used when creating an email template email_compose : Used when composing an email from the full form under the Emails module email_compose_light : Used when doing a quick compose from a listview or subpanel Example File ./custom/include/tinyButtonConfig.php <?php //create email template

Entry Points Overview Entry points, defined in ./include/MVC/Controller/entry_point_registry.php, were used to ensure that proper security and authentication steps are applied consistently across the entire application. While they are still used in some areas of Sugar, any developers using custom entry points should adjust their customizations to use the latest REST API endpoints instead. Accessing Entry Points Available custom entry points can be accessed using a URL pattern as follows: http://{sugar url}/index.php?entryPoint={entry point name} The entry point name will be the specified index in the $entry_point_registry array. Access to this entry point outside of sugar will be dependent on the auth parameter defined in the $entry_point_registry array as well. For more information, refer to the Creating Custom Entry Points page.
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Entry_Points/index.html
78e9ccfa6bf9-1
TopicsCreating Custom Entry PointsAs of 6.3.x, entry points can be created using the extension framework. The entry point extension directory, located at ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/, is compiled into ./custom/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/entry_point_registry.ext.php after a Quick Repair and Rebuild. Additional information can be found in the extensions EntryPointRegistry section. Last modified: 2023-02-03 21:04:03

Custom Entry Points Prior to 6.3.x, an entry point could be added by creating the file ./custom/include/MVC/Controller/entry_point_registry.php. This method of creating entry points is still compatible but is not recommended from a best practices standpoint as duplicating ./include/MVC/Controller/entry_point_registry.php to ./custom/include/MVC/Controller/entry_point_registry.php will prevent any upgrader updates to ./include/MVC/Controller/entry_point_registry.php from being reflected in the system. Entry point registries contain two properties: file - The path to the entry point. auth - A Boolean value that determines whether or not the user must be authenticated in order to access the entry point. $entry_point_registry['customEntryPoint'] = array(

$entry_point_registry['customEntryPoint'] = array( 'file' => 'path/to/customEntryPoint.php', 'auth' => true ); Example The first step is to create the actual entry point. This is where all of the logic for your entry point will be located. This file can be located anywhere you choose. For my example, I will create: ./custom/customEntryPoint.php <?php if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point'); echo "Hello World!"; Next, we will need to create our extension in the application extensions. This will be located at: ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/customEntryPoint.php <?php $entry_point_registry['customEntryPoint'] = array(

<?php $entry_point_registry['customEntryPoint'] = array( 'file' => 'custom/customEntryPoint.php', 'auth' => true ); Finally, navigate to Admin > Repair > Quick Repair and Rebuild. The system will then generate the file ./custom/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/entry_point_registry.ext.php containing your registry entry. We are now able to access our entry point by navigating to: http://{sugar url}/index.php?entryPoint=customEntryPoint Last modified: 2023-02-03 21:04:03

Languages Overview Sugar as an application platform is internationalized and localizable. Data is stored and presented in the UTF-8 codepage, allowing for all character sets to be used. Sugar provides a language-pack framework that allows developers to build support for any language in the display of user interface labels. Each language pack has its own set of display strings which is the basis of language localization. You can add or modify languages using the information in this guide.Please scroll to the bottom of this page for additional language topics. Language Keys Sugar differentiates languages with unique language keys. These keys prefix the files that correspond with particular languages. For example, the default language for the application is English (US), which is represented by the language key en_us. Any file that contains data specific to the English (US) language begins with the characters en_us. Language label keys that are not recognized will default to the English (US) version.

Application Labels and Lists $app_list_strings and $app_strings The $app_list_strings array contains the various dropdown lists for the system while $app_strings contains the system application labels. The initial set of definitions can be found in ./include/language/<language key>.lang.php. As you work within the system and deploy modules and lists through Studio, any changes to these lists will be reflected in the language's extension directory: ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/<language key>.<list name>.php. Customizing Application Labels and Lists If you are developing a customization and want to be able to create or edit existing label or list values, you will need to work within the extension application directory. To do this, create ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/<language key>.<unique name>.php.

Hierarchy Diagram Retrieving Labels There are two ways to retrieve a label. The first is to use the translate() function found in ./include/utils.php. This function will retrieve the label for the current user's language and can also be used to retrieve labels from $mod_strings, $app_strings, or app_list_strings. An example of this is: require_once 'include/utils.php'; $label = translate('LBL_KEY'); Alternatively, you can also use the global variable $app_strings as follows: global $app_strings; $label = ''; if (isset($app_strings['LBL_KEY'])) { $label = $app_strings['LBL_KEY']; }
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Languages/Application_Labels_and_Lists/index.html
b28a7411ff5d-4
{ $label = $app_strings['LBL_KEY']; } Note: If a label key is not found for the user's preferred language, the system will default to "en_us" and pull the English (US) version of the label for display.  Retrieving Lists There are two ways to retrieve a label. The first is to use the translate() function found in include/utils.php. This function will retrieve the label for the current user's language. An example of this is: require_once 'include/utils.php'; $list = translate('LIST_NAME'); //You can also retrieve a specific list value this way $displayValue = translate('LIST_NAME', '', 'Key_Value'); Alternatively, you can also use the global variable $app_list_strings as follows: global $app_list_strings; $list = array();

Managing Lists Overview There are three ways to manage lists in Sugar: by using Studio in the application, by directly modifying the list's language strings, and via the code-level Dropdown Helper. This page explains all three methods. Managing Lists With Studio If you know the name of the list you would like to edit, you can access the application's dropdown editor by navigating to Admin > Dropdown Editor. Alternatively, navigate to a field that uses the list (Admin > Studio > {Module} > Fields > {field_name}) and click "Edit" under the Dropdown List field: For information on using the dropdown editor, please refer to the Developer Tools documentation in the Administration Guide. Directly Modifying Lists There are two ways to directly modify the language strings. The first way is to modify the custom language file, located at ./custom/include/language/<language key>.lang.php.
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Languages/Managing_Lists/index.html

If you are developing a customization to be distributed and you want to be able to create new or override existing list values, you will need to work within the extension application directory. To do this you will create the following file: ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/<language key>.<unique name>.php. The file will contain your override values. Please note that within this file you will set each label index individually. An example of this is: <?php $app_list_strings['LIST_NAME']['Key_Value'] = 'My Display Value'; Once the file is created with your adjustments, navigate to Admin > Repair > Quick Rebuild & Repair.

Managing Lists With Dropdown Helper You can use the dropdown helper to manage lists at the code level. This example demonstrates how to add and update values for a specific dropdown list: require_once 'modules/Studio/DropDowns/DropDownHelper.php'; $dropdownHelper = new DropDownHelper(); $parameters = array(); $parameters['dropdown_name'] = 'example_list'; $listValues = array( 'Key_Value_1' => 'Display Value 1', 'Key_Value_2' => 'Display Value 2', 'Key_Value_3' => 'Display Value 3' ); $count = 0; foreach ($listValues as $key=>$value) { $parameters['slot_'. $count] = $count; $parameters['key_'. $count] = $key;

All modules, whether out-of-box or custom, will have an initial set of language files in ./modules/<module>/language/<language key>.lang.php. As you work with the system and modify labels through Studio, changes to the labels are reflected in the corresponding module's custom extension directory: ./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/Language/<language key>.lang.php. Customizing Labels If you are developing a customization and want to be able to create new or override existing label values, you will need to work within the extension modules directory. To do this, create ./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/Language/<language key>.<unique_name>.php.
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Languages/Module_Labels/index.html
35b77ed6aad6-2
The file should contain your override values with each label index set individually. An example of this is: <?php $mod_strings['LBL_KEY'] = 'My Display Label'; Once the file is created with your adjustments, navigate to Admin > Repair > Quick Rebuild & Repair. This will compile all of the Extension files from ./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/Language/ to ./custom/modules/<module>/Ext/Language/<language key>.lang.ext.php. Label Cache The file locations discussed above are compiled into the cache directory, ./cache/modules/<module>/language/<language key>.lang.php The cached results of these files make up each module's $mod_strings definition.

35b77ed6aad6-3
Hierarchy Diagram Retrieving Labels There are two ways to retrieve a label. The first is to use the translate() function found in include/utils.php. This function will retrieve the label for the current user's language and can also be used to retrieve labels from $mod_strings, $app_strings, or app_list_strings. An example of this is: require_once 'include/utils.php'; $label = translate('LBL_KEY', 'Accounts'); Alternatively, you can use the global variable $mod_strings as follows: global $mod_strings; $label = ''; if (isset($mod_strings['LBL_KEY'])) { $label = $mod_strings['LBL_KEY']; } Accessing Module Strings in Sidecar All language-pack strings are accessible within the Sidecar framework.

35b77ed6aad6-4
All language-pack strings are accessible within the Sidecar framework. $mod_strings To access the $mod_strings in Sidecar, use app.lang.get(): app.lang.get('LBL_NAME', 'Accounts'); To access the $mod_strings in your browser's console, use SUGAR.App.lang.get(): SUGAR.App.lang.get('LBL_NAME', 'Accounts'); For more information, please refer to the app.lang.get section of the Languages page.

Language Packs Overview Language packs are module-loadable packages that add support for new, localized languages to Sugar. Creating a Language Pack To create a language pack, choose a unique language key. This key is specific to your language definitions and should be unique from other language keys in the same instance to avoid conflicts. It is also important that your language key follows the xx_xx format. For demonstrative purposes, we will create a Lorem Ipsum language pack with the language key Lo_Ip. Application and Module Strings
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Languages/Language_Packs/index.html
4939b98642f5-1
Application and Module Strings In the module and application language definitions, there is a combination of $app_list_strings, $mod_strings, and $mod_process_order_strings variables. Your custom language needs to have a definition created to reflect each language key in a standard definition. To do this, duplicate an existing language and simply change the language values within the document and replace the language key in the name of the file with your new key. Be sure to only change the array values and leave the array keys as they are inside of each file. Note: Should you miss an index, it will default to English.Â

4939b98642f5-2
Note: Should you miss an index, it will default to English.  The first step is to identify all of the application and module language files. While language files may vary from version to version due to new features, the stock language paths are generally as follows: ./include/language/xx_xx.lang.php ./include/SugarObjects/implements/assignable/language/xx_xx.lang.php ./include/SugarObjects/implements/email_address/language/xx_xx.lang.php ./include/SugarObjects/implements/team_security/language/xx_xx.lang.php ./include/SugarObjects/templates/basic/language/xx_xx.lang.php

Dashlet Strings Dashlet strings are mostly specific to BWC dashboards. Within each dashlet language definition is a $dashletStrings variable. Create a definition to mimic each dashlet file to reflect the new language. To do this, duplicate an existing language of your choice and change the language key in the path. Be sure to only change the array values and leave the array keys as they are inside of each file. The dashlet paths are listed below: ./modules/Calendar/Dashlets/CalendarDashlet/CalendarDashlet.xx_xx.lang.php ./modules/Charts/Dashlets/CampaignROIChartDashlet/CampaignROIChartDashlet.xx_xx.lang.php

./include/language/xx_xx.notify_template.html Configuration Once you have your language definitions ready, you will need to tell Sugar a new language should be listed for users. For development purposes, you can add $sugar_config['languages']['Lo_Ip'] = 'Lorem Ipsum'; to your config_override.php. It is important to note that this language configuration will automatically be set for you during the installation of a module loadable language package.  Module Loadable Packages

4939b98642f5-20
Module Loadable Packages Once you have the new language files ready, create an installer package so the files can be installed to a new instance. To do this, create an empty directory and move the files into it, mimicking the folder structures shown above. Once that is completed, create a manifest.php in the root of the new directory with a $manifest['type'] of "langpack". An example manifest file is shown below this section. For more information on building manifests, please visit the introduction to the manifest page. Note: Sugar Sell Essentials customers do not have the ability to upload custom file packages to Sugar using Module Loader. Example Manifest File <?php $manifest = array ( 'acceptable_sugar_versions' => array ( 'regex_matches' => array ( '13.0.*', ), ),
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Languages/Language_Packs/index.html

4939b98642f5-22
'remove_tables' => '', ); ?> Once your manifest is completed, you will need to zip up the contents of your new folder. An example of a language pack installer can be downloaded here. When your language pack is ready, it can be installed through the module loader. The installation will automatically add your new language to the $sugar_config['languages'] array in your config.php. After installation. it is highly recommended to navigate to the Sugar Administration page, click on "Repairs", and execute the following repair tools: Quick Repair and Rebuild Rebuild Javascript Languages The new language should now be available for use in your Sugar instance. If you do not see the language listed, please clear your browser cache and refresh the page. Last modified: 2023-02-03 21:04:03

Extensions Overview The extension framework, defined in ./ModuleInstall/extensions.php, provides the capability to modify Sugar metadata such as vardefs and layouts in a safe way that supports installing, uninstalling, enabling, and disabling without interfering with other customizations.
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Extensions/index.html
7b610a4ad490-1
Application extensions are stored under ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/ and module extensions are under ./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/. The files in each of these directories are aggregated into a single file with a predefined name for the system to use. An example of this is the vardefs extension. The vardef extension directory for Accounts is located in ./custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/. When a module is installed, uninstalled, enabled, or disabled, the files contained in this directory are merged into ./custom/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php. A Quick Repair & Rebuild will also cause the files to merge. The core extension mappings are listed in the Topics section at the bottom of this page.

Platforms Overview The Platforms extension adds allowed REST API platforms when restricting custom platforms through the use of the disable_unknown_platforms configuration setting. Properties The following extension properties are available. For more information, please refer to the Extension Property documentation. Property Value Extension Scope Application Extension Directory ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/Platforms/ Compiled Extension File ./custom/application/Ext/Platforms/platforms.ext.php Manifest Installdef $installdefs['platforms'] Implementation The following sections illustrate the various ways to implement a new platform type to a Sugar instance. File System
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Extensions/Platforms/index.html
cea4ebfdb629-1
File System When working directly with the filesystem, enable the disable_unknown_platforms configuration by setting $sugar_config['disable_unknown_platforms'] = true in your ./config_override.php. This will prevent the system from allowing unknown platform types from accessing the rest endpoints. Next, create a file in ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/Platforms/ to map a new platform in the system. The following example adds a new platform called 'integration' that can be used throughout the system: ./custom/Extension/application/Ext/Platforms/<file>.php <?php $platforms[] = 'integration';
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_13.0/Architecture/Extensions/Platforms/index.html
cea4ebfdb629-2
<?php $platforms[] = 'integration'; Finally, navigate to Admin > Repair > Quick Repair and Rebuild. The system will then rebuild the extensions and your customizations will be compiled into ./custom/application/Ext/Platforms/platforms.ext.php. Alternatively, platforms can also be added by creating ./custom/clients/platforms.php and appending new platform types to the $platforms variable. This method of creating platforms is still compatible but is not recommended from a best practices standpoint. Once installed, developers can take advantage of the new platform type when authenticating with the REST API oauth2/token endpoint. An example is shown below:  { "grant_type": "password", "username": "admin", "password": "password",

$installdefs['action_view_map'] Implementation The following sections illustrate the various ways to implement a customization to a Sugar instance. File System When working directly with the filesystem, you can create a file in ./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/ActionViewMap/ to map a new view in the system. The following example will map a new action called 'example' to the 'example' view: ./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/ActionViewMap/<file>.php <?php $action_view_map['example'] = 'example'; ./custom/modules/<module>/views/view.example.php <?php if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
