This month looks like it is all about infrastructure, as we use more and more coreBOS as that powerful backend business operating system that it is, we add functionality and features to make it easier to develop with. A new business map, more workflow and web service enhancements, and internal functions make for another interesting month!

• support for saving seconds in DateTime fields if they are given (web service, for example). This is still not supported in the UI
• add new Business Map of type Information Map
• export only visible columns option in the Export process. We can now export only the columns visible on the selected filter.
• import from the command line
• save import default values in import mapping. The coreBOS import process permits you to save the relation of columns between your CSV file and the modules' fields. Now, this relation also saves (and recovers) the default values set during the mapping process. Thanks Denald
• add Clickatell notification driver to SMSNotifier. Nice development that permits us to get live feedback of our SMS messages sent through Clickatell. Thanks Fatjola
• SMS TextAnywhere provider
• correctly save, close and reload Email screens depending on where we are editing the email from
• Launch Business Actions from ListView runBAScriptFromListView
• functions to convert filter query syntax to Extended VQL syntax: getCVStdFilterEVQL and getCVAdvFilterEVQL, we also add a mapping of operators between both syntaxs
• add afterImportRecord method that permits doing actions on each record right after import. This hook is very similar to the aftersave event with the only difference being that aftersave will be called on all save events, no matter where they come from while afterImportRecord will be launched only after the import save event.
• MassRetrieve
  • support users module
  • add cbuuid to mass retrieve
• support for uitype 10 fields in Decision Table Maps
• Updater
  • add support for normal import and export process, so we can easily share manual updates between systems
  • support undoing manual changesets
• Tests: keep getting some love and care as we fix things and add coverage.

• add possibility to return more information in web service call: wsmoreinfo

  return array(
      'wsresult' => normal result information as standard in coreBOS,
      'wsmoreinfo' => array(
          any additional => information you need to send back,
      ),
  );

• Query total rows

  • return controlled query totals when the query fails
  • add getQueryTotalRows to VtigerActorOperation
• getActorModules function in utils
