Where do you place your custom entry point definit

问题:

I add all my custom entrypoints in this file: \custom\Extension\application\Ext\EntryPointRegistry\customEntryPoint.php

Is there a better way or place to handle this?

回答1:

Your location is the recommended location as per the 6.5 documentation. All of the files within custom/Extension/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/ are compiled into the file custom/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/entry_point_registry.ext.php when a Quick Repair and Rebuild is done.

As you've tagged this with SuiteCRM, I assume you're using their fork of the 6.5 CE. However, if you want to use your code with later versions (7.7+) of SugarCRM, take note that they have noted their intention to deprecate Entry Points in the near future in favour of extending "Endpoints" for their REST API (v10).

That is the best way to handle your custom entry points.

回答3:

There are two best-practice options that utilize the Extension framework in SugarCRM 6.x. Which to use depends on the use of the entry point. The entry point you've specified is best general-purpose, application-wide entry points.

• File Location: custom/Extension/application/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/customEntryPoint.php

• Provides for an entry point URL like index.php?entryPoint=customEntryPoint

If instead you find that an entry point could be more focused to a single Sugar module, you can make it module-specific. An example use case might be creating a webhook-type functionality to allow a third party payment service to interact directly with a custom Invoice module. The advantage here is organization; custom code placement is as specific and granular as possible.

• File Location: custom/Extension/modules/abc_InvoiceModule/Ext/EntryPointRegistry/third_party_webhook.php
• Provides for an entry point URL like index.php?module=abc_InvoiceModule&entryPoint=third_party_webhook
