Sugar Outfitters License | Sidecar Version 1

I am aiming to update Sugar Outfitters Licensing to leverage Sidecar. We will be adding a Layout, View, Administer panel, and REST APIs.

Environment

For my development environment. I’ll be using the following components

• SugarCRM Version 12.2.0-preview.2 (Build 222 E) (Q4 2022)

• macOS Monterey

  Sugar Development on macOS

• Apache 2.4 from Homebrew

• PHP 7.4.30 from Homebrew

• MySQL 5.7.26 from SugarDockerized

• ElasticSearch from SugarDockerized

• PHPStorm

  

Proposal

I propose that SugarCRM adds to the core all of the logic, layouts, views, etc. required to work with Sugar Outfitters. I'll even provide a Module Loadable Package (MLP) with which SugarCRM can borrow to add to the core.
