Hi all,

there's been long threads about OpenOffice Merge functionality / plugin in the forum. There's also been some very useful code contribution - which usually gets lost in the sea of new threads.

I took some of the code - especially the one available here:
http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?t=7223
and here:
http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?t=16670

I did some fixes, included the latest pclzip, ported the Merge to all four standard supported modules, tested it on vtiger CRM 5.0.4

It seems to work fine Smile

I'm attaching here a unified diff for applying the patch (contact me if you need a .zip with files to be replaced) (I had to rename the .diff file to .txt for being allowed to attach it :-O)

You don't need any specific plugin on the Open Office side: just use the fieldlabel (you get them from the vtiger_field table).

TICKET_FIELDLABEL (ex. TITLE_TITLE, TITLE_DESCRIPTION, ...)
ACCOUNT_FIELDLABEL
LEAD_ FIELDLABEL

It's been tested with custom fields, too.

It's a rough work, I know it. But hey ... we've been waiting for months Wink

Any effort to better the code will be appreciated.

carloz

ps: I'm going on vacation until January, 20th. I'll see the "reactions" then.

Hi Carlos, I really would appreciate to get the zip-files, maybe with a good "readme-instruction", as I'm trying to get the OpenOffice Document Merge working. Best regards teka

Okay, boys! All I need now is some simple instructions on how to "apply the patch" without upsetting some small 3rd world government in the process. (It would happen to me.....)

What do I do with this file? HOW do I do it is what I need. Be specific; I'm in Sales. Thanks for your work on this project everybody.

Oh, anyone know if the whole "Open Office merge" topic is addressed/fixed i the upcoming 5.1??

ok,

here's a .zip package with the modified files and an .odt template

download it and unpack it from your root vtiger directory

since it overwrites your Merge.php files it might be a good idea to make a backup before Smile

update from the previous .diff released here: we fixed the mass merge issue Smile

we're using it and it looks quite stable and tested, anyway this comes for free and with no warranty ...

ciao
carloz
