Customizing a plugin
Posted: 03 Feb 09 12:05 PM

I have a released version of a plugin and am trying to add functionality. I saved the plugin to a new project with a new version number and released that version to Developer. When I refresh SLX the plugin doesn't appear at all...
is there a way to correct this?
We are running 6.2.3
thanks

You are going to need to supply some more information here...
What did you name the plugin (family, name, etc), and where are you expecting to see it in SalesLogix?

The family is Account and the name of the plugin is Test PLugin in our development or test environment. The plugin should appear available as a bottom screen or middle pane in the Accounts main view.
When launching SLX and logging into the test server, the plugin does not appear in the more tabs list anywhere to be viewed on the screen. |

| I do not see the plugin listed there... nor is it listed as available when I click the Add button to add a tab. |

When you created this new plugin...
File/New/Plugin...
is it an Account Form, or is it something else?

Derek, the Architect itself has a Help section that's fairly excellent.
I would recommend you buy DevLogix as a primer.
You might also consider a class in SLX Development.
As a hint, you want to decide Which MainView you want a tab/form to show up....let's say it's ACCOUNT.
So you create a New Plugin, specifically an Account Form.
You're presented with a basic blank Account form.
F12 gives you a toolbox
Select a Data Grid from the SLX Controls.
Place it on the form (click and drag).
There are many examples here, in DevLogix, and over on ITToolBox to get you over the basic tenents of form development. |

I think what he may be saying is that he's got a SalesLogix user account called "Developer" and he released the plugin to that user. He was expecting to see a copy of the plugin in Architect while logged in as Administrator, but it's not there, because releases don't quite work that way.
If this is the case, you have to copy the original to a new plugin using "Save As...", as opposed to releasing it. When you save it, set the "Developer" field in the Save As... dialog to the developer's user account, and when that user next logs into Architect, he should be able to see it then, and hopefully work on it, depending on your licensing.
If this isn't the case, please ignore the foregoing... |
