Usually when you create custom Javascript or CSS stylesheet files for Infor CRM, you have to modify the master pages to load your scripts or stylesheets. The problem with this is that you've now touched one more thing that you need to worry about in an upgrade. There's a lot of stuff going on in those master pages and...

I recently had a client that needed to use server-side code to export a report to a PDF and add as an attachment to a record. There's some tricky code to do this, so I decided to wrap it up in a reusable and open source assembly. Take a look at the open source FX.ReportUtility repository on Github: Announcing the FX.ReportUtility Assembly The...

I am very pleased to announce a new & free open source tool from Customer FX named the SalesLogix Mobile Developer Toolkit. This toolkit will make your life easier when working with the SalesLogix Mobile product and provide automation to some of the tedious tasks you have to complete before you actually get to start writing code. Let's take a look.

A couple of weeks ago I announced the .NET Extensions Helper open source library. I figured it was time for a more complete walkthrough so this post will show a video of how to get the library and use it to embed a .NET UserControl on a SalesLogix account tab. Let's take a look.

I'd like to introduce a new open source project from Customer FX that allows you to create and run background tasks in the SalesLogix Web platform. Background Tasks for SalesLogix provides a framework for you to use to build custom tasks that will run on an interval and perform some action in the background while the SalesLogix Web platform is running.

Whether you're using Git, or some other source control system, there are certain files in a SalesLogix model that you do not want to include in your source control. Many part of the files in an exported SalesLogix model are automatically generated by the Application Architect and by the build process when you build your web platform. Having these files under source control would only complicate things when working with multiple developers since you'd each need to merge these automatically generated files with each pull/checkout from source control since they change every time.

A few weeks ago I announced Sublogix. Sublogix is Customer FX project that provides a simple repository for SalesLogix development, allowing you to use an entity model and repository in any version of SalesLogix and is great for use in .NET Extensions in the LAN client, stand-alone or addon applications for SalesLogix or whatever. Death to SQL statements. Things are progressing nicely with Sublogix so I decided it was time to give you a closer look.

Something that was born out of a project I've been working on is a simple repository for SalesLogix that supports all the way back to SalesLogix v6.2 up to the current 7.5.3, both LAN and Web as well as stand alone applications and utilities. I've named it Sublogix. Sublogix is a simple object model and repository for SalesLogix. Sublogix is not meant to replace the SalesLogix Repository that lives in SalesLogix Web. It's purpose is to give you the ability to work with SalesLogix entity objects no matter what environment you're in.

I have released a big update for Git Extensions for SalesLogix. This new version includes a ClickOnce installer and will keep itself up to date automatically. The installation of Git Extensions for SalesLogix is now brain-dead easy. You just access a URL and click the Install button. Not only that, you'll automagically be updated to new releases as they become available.
