Is released! To not clog up the main thread here are the discovery.

> Emails: Hiding quote part #3086

A new button ,,, is add on the bottom. Personally I don't like this because now I can't read the email to reply to it.


Clicking on it reveal the full email inline, very nice looking! Look like the date still don't show the year.


So how can we disable this? (to be find out)

It is not in the Entity > Email > Layout setting.
It not in Admin > Settings
Or > User Interface

Sound like it is a mandatory setting from v8.4

Exceed photo limit so I'm posting it here

Next step was adding Calendar to Windows Desktop PC itself. I don't expect the oldies to use Thunderbird or other desktop software so I need to 'integrate" it as part of Windows 10, which got Calendar support.

As you can see in Windows 10 it support it here:


---
I manage to successful to it working from Calendar App to EspoCRM but fail to get data from EspoCRM, so I need to figure this out somehow.



As you can see success on EspoCRM, Location don't seem to work though, maybe I need to create new field for this with correct name.


---
How to get it to work is based on this Tutorial:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/groupware/sync_windows10.html

Here is my setting: I did try a few other setting but doesn't seem to work correctly.



Work fine on Thunderbird but need to get Window's Calendar App to work:


I'm also having issue getting iPhone to work with Certificate issue too but that is another story for another day.

Finally got the DAV (extension) to work. I'll document some troubleshooting here for anyone that have same issue as me. Will post further as I go along. I think the latest version fix some of other error (e.g. DAV not found, error connection, etc). But this error is User/Admin fault, e.g you forgot to do something.

Anyway one of the error is this, I user Thunberbird to test it, it easy to test on PC than using Phone (DAVx5).

If you forgot to give "External Account" access, it will show up like this:


If you did it correct, it should show the username. For example.

To fix, make sure to enable this correctly.


Now after I finish this, try again:

Seem to be backend related for the frontend? I can't tell any difference in the demo version. Maybe it still using 7.5.5 on demo.

[yuri]

It's already there. The frontend is quite overhauled, some deprecation cleanups. A case for a major version number.

[esforim]

Just saw Milestone is now v8... anyone want to guess (or want) the Major feature that will be added for v8?

If it portal you might be correct. I don't use portal so never know.

Maybe in the future I will unlock and start using it.

[Kharg]

I had issue with portal login using dubas themes, the page would not load, I think it happens only with both themes installed.

> Keep in mind that it doesn't work well with Dubas themes

YOU ARE WRONG! I'm using it and it good.

> Haha espcrm, new avatar .. are you chatEspCrm IA ? 🤣

Hi chatEspCrm

can you explain me why is plural "notes" ?. i am just curious, all field is not plural out-of-box and when we create, i alway "singular?"

'notes', '[This record was auto-generate by (MY ROBOT NAME HERE). Data is prefilled from existing record, confirm and update any changes required.]'

i hope robot respond

it's a field ? varchar ?

[Kharg]

You are welcome!
Stay tuned for future updates and if you encounter any bugs feel free to tell me!

Thanks Kharg,
I just wanted something for customise login screen.
I know telecastg have make a tuto for that but I think is v6

Haha espcrm, new avatar .. are you chatEspCrm IA ? 🤣

FullHD should work well, it uses CSS to center the wallpaper.
There's only a bug where after logout the wallpaper doesn't fit well anymore. I still have to fix that, but a refresh works fine for the moment

Keep in mind that it doesn't work well with Dubas themes
