I have been downloading the CVS recently and playing with the what looks like early V5 code. Here are some comments based on what I have seen;

- The installation process is nice. The ability to change info in the install process ( not having to edit the config file manually) has been fixed. The screens are looking good. A new process bar shows you a sliding perecntage of completion. A little eye candy. Generally looks more polished.

- New login screen - looks very nice - more professional. Cannot select language or theme from it yet though.

- there is a whole new look to the display. It is tabbed with drop down selection for modules. Cleaner than V4.2.x. Details are show in new table styles ( they seem to be nested in the page ). Generally everything makes better use of screen real estate - some people may not like how big it is.

- many of the screens are not working yet - i.e. they don't show detail - blank screen or blank table in add or edit modes. ( all actually ). This may be a compatibility issue on my part ( PHP 4.3.10 ?)

- there is a tabbed view for contact/account information that puts all of a contact/account details in a "more info" tab - helpdesk, quotes, invoices, history, notes, etc.
I liked the tabbed display mod (from Fredy?) in 4.2.3 better I think. It showed the tabbed detail on the same page and the order of information could be changed. It is good to be able to see information at a single glance with less clicks imho.


- Custom views don't work yet - blank screens.

- the easy mail integration ( send mail button from contact list page) doesn't work. Even when you select contacts/accounts an error says you need to select at least on entity.

- Many of the modules throw errors in CommonUtils.php.

- It looks as though the security model is in. Not quite sure how it plays out yet. It looks as though there is capability to set access to modules, fields, data, by role, member, or group.

- Mike Crowe's fabulous field / home page sort order mod is in.

- Can't tell if the Fredy address inheritance mod or any AJAX stuff is in

- Reports show blank pages so far ( same issue as above I suspect )

- The is a nice feature on the contact/account detail page that allows you to select a mail merge template and merge it with account information - it doesn't work yet, but will be great when it does.

-Also a nice feature added to the detail view shows upcoming activities for the selected contact / account.

- there is a global search field in the tob nav bar - nice - doesn't work yet though.

That is it for now. Things are looking good. I think there is still a long way to go to get this to even Alpha stage. Richie had suggested February - I don't know. Unless there is code not in the cvs that is closer to ready, I wouldn't bet on it.

Jay that's great feedback.

If the developers are looking for early feedback, would anyone be open to keeping a version of vTiger open to the public with the most recent cvs?

This might help.

I took a look today and some of the things I mentioned have been fixed, however now I get an error message;

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /srv/www/htdocs/vtigercrmcvs/include/utils/UserInfoUtil.php on line 3280" repeating on any page that needs to display data.

This is when logged in as admin.

It looks as though this may be a security/access routine that isn't quite working . The line number refers to a getcurrentuserprofilelist function as shown;

3280 is the line "foreach ($current_user_profiles as $profid)"

***********

function getCurrentUserProfileList()
{
global $current_user;
require('user_privileges/user_privileges_'.$current_user->id.'.php');
$profList ='(';
$i=0;
foreach ($current_user_profiles as $profid)
{
if($i != 0)
{
$profList .= ', ';
}
$profList .= $profid;
$i++;
}
$profList .=')';
return $profList;

}

I think that language and theme should be set in a user's preferences, rather than having to set it each time. If I was a non-English speaker with different taste in themes, I would get frustrated having to change it each login.

ncrossland,

The Language and Theme settings will be taken care of. Thanks for reporting.
