Yetiforcecrm: YetiForce v4.4 RC1

[paula-w]

We’re excited to announce that we have just released version 4.4. This is an RC version for now, so please keep in mind that there might be some bugs that managed to hide from us, and if you stumble upon any of them - please let us know so we can fix them ASAP!

First of all we would like to thank our community, contributors, and clients for helping us get so far and achieve so much. We don’t say it enough but we really appreciate that you decided to choose YetiForce - thank you for your patience, understanding, and effort. Every single bug report, pull request, and suggestion helps us a lot, and shows us that you care about the system as much as we do.

Version 4.4

There are a few major things that make this release different and very important. For the past 3 years we’ve been working really hard on the technical aspects of the software; we added some new features, some we had to rewrite from scratch, some we unfortunately had to remove. All these decisions, even the controversial ones, were made with one thing on our mind - to provide you with a reliable and secure CRM. Version 4.4 is a milestone for us, because it’s the last version that brings these huge changes. From now on we will mostly focus on development, improvements and optimization.
One of these huge changes in this version was removing the reports module and substituting it with a number of charts and widgets. This issue explains in more detail why we decided to remove them. If you want to see the new tools, please take a look here and here.

Version 4.4 stable will be released in about 2 weeks from now, before GDPR comes into force and will be fully compliant with the new regulations. Right now we’re still working on all the issues related to GDPR compliance.

Moreover, we will fix all GitHub issues (bug reports) before we release version 4.4 stable, so please test the RC version thoroughly and report all the bugs you find; the more bugs we find and fix in the RC version, the fewer of them will sneak into the stable version.
We’re also planning to open new communication channels apart from GitHub once we fix all the issues and make sure the current channels are properly managed. The community suggested a forum and a chat a couple of times, so we will gradually add them and keep you informed.

We recently also opened our own store. The store is our place to sell services related to hosting and support. We WILL NOT release a ton of new modules that you can only purchase, we still believe that all necessary and useful functionalities should be available to everyone for free. Apart from the 3 support packages we currently offer you will find 4 affordable cloud hosting options.
We’re still working on it as far as the appearance and product descriptions are concerned, if you have any comments please send us your feedback!

Hi,
I am trying to install the new complete version (linked to by @mariuszkrzaczkowski ) and I cannot get the install to run. I have changed file/folder permissions to 755 and 644 and also tried disabling htaccess but still get HTTP ERROR 500.
I checked the error log:

My current php version is ea-php70.

What might I by doing wrong?

[WalterLuis]

@PercyP use PHP 7.1.XX, and put things as in the next image and should go all right 😄

[kpaulaha]

I also tried first with php 7.0.xx, did not work out, changed to 7.1. Then no problems.

[PercyP]

@kpaulaha

I have been trying all morning to move to php 7.1 (via easyapache 4) but when I do my site produces Error 503 and totally inaccessible.

How did you move to 7.1?

[kpaulaha]

@PercyP I have Plesk hosting platform one server. Can change php from site settings.

[vovpff]

What php version required for 4.4?

[mariuszkrzaczkowski]

version 4.4 is compatible with PHP 7.1 and 7.2.
version 7.0 and lower will not work because some libraries no longer support these versions

[vovpff]

@mariuszkrzaczkowski thx

[krishnaragu]

Please let me know why report module is removed, which is very impotent. Also, please let me know if any plugin with unlimited shipping address as well.

Note: I am ready to contribute for this project by testing any modules.

[PercyP]

@mariuszkrzaczkowski thanks for letting us know.

I have managed to install 4.4 and can now do some testing :)

I finally updated my server to 7.1x. My problem was initially because my php was still on 7.0 and also with the existing .htaccess file in the end - causing the 503 errors.

I used cpanel EasyApache to update to 7.1 (and 7.2 in readiness). The I used Multiphp Editor to make the changes for server requirements as specified in Yetiforce documentation.
I also went through the PHP 7.1 documentation and made sure all the php extensions were installed.

[krishnaragu]
