yuri great work and appreciate the effort.!!

Tried to download the upgrade from https://www.espocrm.com/download/upgrades/ but https://www.espocrm.com/downloads/up...-to-6.0.10.zip is broken link

I am on 5.9.4 and do not see an upgrade possibility now? ))

[yuri]

I uploaded the missing file. But I'd recommend using CLI for upgrading.

[telecastg]

Excellent improvements, specially the Tab grouping.

We have been taking advantage of Espo's brilliant capabilities as a development framework beyond Crm and this feature will allow a much better organization.

Thanks for the hard work.

[emillod]

telecastg yeah, tab grouping is game changer! I just changed my whole menu!
I can't stop looking!

[esforim]

Deciding on "group" name is the new issue.

[emillod]

esforim i've grouped entities in this way:
1. Clients group: Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Clearances
2. Emails
3. SMS group: Messages, Pricing lists, Templates
4. Cases
5. Tasks
6. Finances group: Invoices, Quotes, Sales orders, Expenses, Transaction history, Products, Coupons
7. Calls
8. Documents group: Contracts, Correspondence, Documents, Shared documents, Resolutions
9. Reports
10. Knowledge base

AND I CAN SEE EVERYTHING!!!!!

I'm working on GDPR extension which will contain everything related to GDPR. So i'll have another group "GDPR" and there i have audits, trainings, etc.
i'm so excited!!

[esforim]

Thanks emillod, that a pretty good setup. Going to base my grouping on your idea.

I use Accounts and Contacts too often though, I will leave both of these are first Level

lol ... espoCRM is incredible ! Yuri is the einstein of the crm

[emillod]

Is there a possibility to translate Tab name? It would be great!

[yuri]

Yes. Name it 'label@someLabel'.

Then add 'someLabel' to the language in Global scope > "tabs" category.

[emillod]

yuri thank you very much!

[davide445]

I didn't find any "tab" category under Label Manager>Global, have I understood wrong?

[davide445]

Just upgraded from 6.0.9 -->6.0.10 --> 6.1, using admin interface
- all icons are gone
- attachments show broken link
- it's not possibile to reorder opportunities in kanban view. Edit: it's possible to do it, but after relocating the item give me an Error 500 message
- didn't see tab grouping option
Edit: - I can't access to my profile anymore
Edit: - I can't set Appointments anymore since if I select a time in the afternoon with let's say a 15 min talk he set the end time always the start time+15 min but in the morning, and there is no way in changing this. I remember setting in my profile a different time format so again there is some problem in the profile.

Need I to do anything? i.e. rebuild?

[emillod]

davide445 to add grouping option, you should open settings of espo or your user preferences and scroll to section where you're managing menu. After that you need to click Add new item and in the popup you'll see button to add group tab.
Can you tell me more about attachments broken links? Do you have any errors in logs?

[davide445]

I need to check the logs. Added a note on my original post: noticed I can't access to my profile anymore + another (maybe related) problem with Calls + an error 500 relocating the Opportunities in kanban view.
Tabs are working fine.

[Nishan Perera]

check your error log. Must be permission problem.

Anyone using PHP 8 with EspoCRM 6.1? Any noticeable performance increase?

[yuri]

I would not expect any performance increase from PHP 8.

[emillod]

esforim yeah, we've started our internal tests and we're planning to upgrade php version to 8 on production in this week. Till now we don't see any issues.

[esforim]

Now that I use v6.1 I don't quite like the new Entity Manager, it good that there is now these button but I feel there is too many layer of click to open it.

Anyone feel the same way? I feel that these button being on shown on a higher level would be more better but that might just be me.

[esforim]

Search seem to be really slow down for some reason, no error in logs but this error in Console: Uncaught TypeError: this.model is undefined

Anyone having same issue as me?

Click some link reveal these code:

if (this.model.get('deleted')) {
o.readOnly = true;
}

I did a manual re-upload of this file and the Console error stop appearing but the speed is still slow, so it doesn't seem to be related.

esforim its been sometime since i posted but have been reading the posts. Our instances seem stable and working well so far. Our Document Management and Prescription Management systems using Espocrm are now super-hits especially during the pandemic.

With regards to the new look entity manager, these are my views:

(1) Yes agreed, extra page loads
(2) Pros: supporting this UI is that the old format made me click the wrong links frequently. Example: when i wanted to click the "fields" link i accidentally clicked the "relationship" link. Its trivial but was annoying.
(3) Con: in the new design, when i click the Fields, do something in there and later wanted to edit Relationships i had to jump out and jump in again. Again, it is trivial but could be annoying if big development.

yuri My recommendation to Espocrm developers is that when we get into one area, e.g. Fields, the same buttons should appear in the Fields edit page as well. This way we do not have to pop in and out just for the sake of these buttons. Congrats, fantastic job with version 6.

I'd like to see a setting Cog icon, shown only to Administrators, in the top-right of all screens - that would take you directly to that Entity configuration page.
