in the folder /modules/import/ you'll notice that the file vendor.php is missing as well as quote.php...
i liked vtiger, and i had consider to install it at some of our customers, but, it s got to be finished first.
you put in front of us a candy... with "surprises". where is the spirit of open source ? why don't you inform of such deficiency in your documentation? are these files "on sale", then say it !!! dont be ashamed to ask for money, it is totally legal and acceptable. each work desserves a reward, but not this way people of bhudda, not this way. if you simply forgot (what i doubt), then i would be scared to install such "thing", it would mean that you are far from being the pros you want us to believe.
i am not the first to ask about this, and always the same answer: silence, guess why <!-- s;-) --><img src="{smilies_path}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="wink" /><!-- s;-) -->
you people at vtiger seemed quite pro, but this is funny... what is the intention behind? you "give away" for free the office plugins, but you don't finish the work... <!-- s --><img src="{smilies_path}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="laughing" /><!-- s --> you make money thanks to sugar and your developments plus the contibutions of hundreds of people, and you "forget" those two files?...
same story with "mandatory fields". why not to keep it as sugar does: that is any fied can be set mandatory in the admin panel. why make things more complicated than they are?
i expected a bit more of profesional honesty, if you want to make money it is not only acceptable but i support this. i won't mind to pay for some extra features, but not this way... and your silence says it all, not even one word about this. disappointing.
pity... it looked so nice, but well, seems in asia it is a routine, isnt it?
i 'd rather stick to the two products i am using at present: sugar and tiny erp (together with joomla/mambo, from whom you could learn what open source means) the "real thing".
good luck people of vtiger, you ll need it once people will understand what you are doing... <!-- s;-) --><img src="{smilies_path}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="wink" /><!-- s;-) -->, you are not really fair.
i have more than 100 vendors to import.
anyone can help me for an other solution ?
thank you
i find that last post a little harsh, but that's ok i have sent a lot of those also <!-- s --><img src="{smilies_path}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="wink" /><!-- s -->
i thought open source was about:
"oh that is missing, they haven't gotten around to it yet so i can do it myself and give it back"
in any case i am willing to prepare the vendor import script for a fee. if you need it send me a message.
note: i am not part of vtiger so i can't speak in their name, this is my personal opinion.
