PDFMaker - can I install Its4You paid version in Yetiforce?

[PercyP]

Hi,

I was looking at Its4You PDFMaker and asked some questions of their support and they said PDFMaker should work with Yetiforce. I need the ability to insert related fields from other modules such as Contacts etc. It looks like Its4You PDFMaker paid version does this? Am I right in thinking the PDFMaker in yetiforce is a version of Its4You @joebordes would this be correct? SO if that is the case, could I install their paid versions without corrupting my system?

I'm interested too because I have licence of PDFMaker pro.

I'm sorry, I have no knowledge of Yetforce and no idea if PDFMaker works there or not.

I can say that PDFMaker works correctly on coreBOS, but nothing more.

@vovpff have you ever tried installing it to see what happens? on a test site I mean.

Sorry @joebordes I thought you were related to its4you :) please ignore me.

@PercyP I tried to test this stuff at 2.x.x versions but there is no chance to use it because YetiForce layout and directories has a lot of changes and there are no ability to use this tool without modification.

@PercyP , I invite you to have a look at coreBOS:

You can run PDFMaker and we also have GenDoc which can do this too.

@vovpff
thanks for update. It is a shame as for me personally this is a critical feature - if we have related content we should be able to show that in the PDF outputs. The field label in the PDF maker is a little misleading (for me at least) as I believed its purpose was to show the linked data. In my other post a member of YF team suggested it only requires a new function to add this option, if that is the case then it makes sense to add that function as it would add more power to the PDF maker. I did ask how much this would cost to add, but so far not had a reply (guessing they are snowed under right now with the pending new release).
@joebordes thanks for that, will check it out! However I am already heavily invested in YF now so not looking to move away.

Whenever I look at coreBOS i remember the old times when I started working with Vtiger, it’s almost as if the time stopped. It’s incredible how much we changed in the system in such a short time. I regret that we didn’t manage to start cooperation [we are still open to this idea], because if we work together we would achieve so much more, especially because what is lacking in our system is well done in yours [eg. Documentation]. In my opinion we would complement each other ideally.

Let me ask you if I may:

1. When will you put Sensiolabs in order, because it shows a bit low quality of coreBOS after leaving Vtiger [Lines of code: 530,226, Nb of violations: 35321]:

2. When will you fix basic security for headers?

3. When will you fix dozens of SQL injection errors, XSS, and when will you start following the basic safety rules recommended by OWASP for example? Has coreBOS ever undergone any security audits?

@joebordes @bpabiszczak

It would be brilliant if you guys did collaborate as @joebordes has some brilliant components that would be excellent in yetiforce :) fingers crossed it happens
