Adding Emails to custom module

Hi Ada

You can simply add the Emails module and then create the relationships.

1. Create a folder called 'Emails' for instance

2. Create a manifest.php file (code snippet below) and paste into tjhe 'Emails' folder

$manifest = array (
  'built_in_version' => '10.0.4',
  'acceptable_sugar_versions' =>
  array (
    0 => '',
  ),
  'acceptable_sugar_flavors' =>
  array (
    0 => 'ENT',
    1 => 'ULT',
  ),
  'readme' => '',
  'key' => 'Test',
  'author' => 'ME',
  'description' => 'Add Emails to Studio',
  'icon' => '',
  'is_uninstallable' => true,
  'name' => 'Add Emails to Studio',
  'published_date' => '2021-12-16 11:53:12',
  'type' => 'module',
  'version' => 1,
  'remove_tables' => 'prompt',
);

$installdefs = array (
  'id' => 'Access1004',
  'copy' =>
  array (
    array (
      'from' => '<basepath>/Files/',
      'to' => 'custom/modules/Emails',
    ),

  ),
);

3. Create a folder called 'Files' and inside that create a folder called 'metadata'

    The path would look something like this Emails\Files\metadata

4. Create a blank studio.php file (code snippet below) with NO contents within the metadata path

5. Copy manifest.php file and Files directory to create a zip file

6. Import via modfule loader and then you will see emails as a module in Studio

Is this kind of customization possible in hosted?

Hi Ada Napierala,

just create a relationship to "Activities".

This will automatically enable the acitity stream and add relationships to the following modules:

Enjoy!

I believe so.

Hi Ada Napierala,

The Emails module is part of the Activities suite of modules (Meetings, Calls, Notes, Tasks, Emails). To deploy a relationship to the Emails module, I highly recommend creating the relationship between your custom module and Activities. This will add the module to the flex relate field found in all those modules. If, for some reason, you don't want the other modules to appear as subpanels, you could have those selectively hidden with a code customization.

What Björn said ;-)

you need to create an upload package with the files you want to upload. this requires a manifest that makes sure your files are embedded in the file system accordingly https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_12.0/Architecture/Module_Loader/Introduction_to_the_Manifest/

Yes it works but it requires a bit of dev experience :-)

hi Christopher Hart

No code needed, just a relationship between the custom module and Activities.

Hope that helps

Björn Canales Pfisterer that worked - thank you :)
