I never heard of corebos, and went over to have a look at the features: http://corebos.org/page/feature-list
This is quite amazing, but I wonder what impact it has on already implemented NethServer features that overlap these features?
@Youssef, did you already try corebos on NethServer and what are your findings? Why should anyone use corebos? Is corebos instead of NethServer modules? or extending NethServer modules?

/edit: after reading some docs on corebos, it looks like it is derived from vtiger crm… We also have a topic about installing vtiger…

@Youssef is a new young intern at Nethesis :slight_smile: few days ago, @nethcman was looking for a CRM, and I asked Youssef to publish an how to.

I also hope that someone from the Corebos team will join this effort :wink:

Speaking for the coreBOS community we are more than happy to help, so give it a try and ask whatever you need.

Welcome to Nethserver community @joebordes. We will certainly give corebos a try. I can imagine that a small business server like NethServer and an application like corebos can be a great match.
I hope you can give us some hands on advice when questions arise with installing, configuring and using corebos on Nethserver.

Hi, everybody. I am a user / developer of coreBOS CRM since the beginning. It is a system that I have implemented in a company with about 200 users.

Any questions you may have can be asked :slight_smile:

Hi @alefattorini. Integration with coreBOS is very good. I currently have coreBOS integrated with different platforms such as SAP, Google and Alisys.

Now, I’m working “when I can” with new integrations with Telegram and TomTom :slight_smile:

As for platform integration, you can find libraries of different languages in the following url.

Sounds great but we love simplicity,for us a good integration is installing Corebos with one-click :slight_smile:

Corebos looks really interesting as regards integration with roundcube or asterisk so I tested it.

How to change the language? I was just able to select English for the admin user. I changed default language in config.inc.php but it just affects the login page.

To install it without missing php values errors at installation I had to do the following:

cat << EOF > /etc/php.d/corebos.ini
max_input_vars = 9000
error_reporting = E_ERROR
EOF

To use UTF8 database:

mysql
DROP DATABASE corebos70;
CREATE DATABASE corebos70 character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
grant all on corebos70.* to 'corebosdb'@'localhost' identified by 'corebosdb';
exit;

Firstly may i say wow, what a fantastic piece of kit this Nethserver is.

Using Nethserver 7
guys please can you assist me with Corebos " MAX FILE UPLOAD "
Corebos File Upload keeps saying " 3mb " for maximum file uploads

I did the following:

Configuration > PHP Settings:
Maximum upload file size (30 Megabytes)
Maximum number of uploaded files (30 files)

edit the following files

  1. config.inc.php
  2. config.template.php

i did add the line " $upload_maxsize = 25000000; " in both files

In my Corebos " /etc/php.ini " File
upload_max_filesize = 25M

and

max_file_uploads = 25

Restarted the Corebos server and restarted php

Still does not change or increase the " 3mb " file upload size

any ideas

There is probably some other value set. CoreBOS seems to (also) use .htaccess for that.
I found this on CoreBOS website. It refers to Vtiger forums, but those are related.
