New tool! Isv.config Manager

Hello everyone

Today, I propose a tool that asked me a lot of time to write but I am quite happy about it. It allows you to change the ISV configuration through an interface (unlike the tool CrmXmlEdit you probably know). So, you do not have to remind XML nodes and attributes for each element.

Some features:

  • Creation / Editing / Saving a configuration ISV
  • Export / Import configuration ISV from CRM server
  • Edition by mouse clicks
  • Url test with web pages and icons preview
  • Validating the ISV configuration using the XSD provided by Microsoft

Some screenshots:



Download:

As usual, I remain attentive to the requests for modifications or lift bug (yeah, I know it could happen)

[UPDATE] I forgot the Icon element for MenuItem, it's now corrected...

[UPDATE 2] Thanks to the anonymous guy, a bug was corrected regarding connection status when loading entities name for entity element. You can download the corrected version.

This tools looks great but i'm not too sure what the "degfibne test server url" is for and also if i click on an entity - in the right hand pane the list is empty so i click the "load entities" button but get an error message "you must be connected to load entities list!" message. I am connected it even says "conencted to:crm" at the bottom of the left hand corner - what am I doing wrong?

The "define test url" allows you to define a test url which will be used to check icon and url access (in button element for example)

For entities list, you can write the name of entity by hand.

I will check the connection status when loading entities and give you a feedback...

There was a bug in the code. I didn't propagate the connection status to the entity element for some connection actions.

It's now corrected.

You can download the new version using the same link.

Hi,

great tool.

At my installation (german language) it does not retain the select client (Web, Outlook or both), so I always have to set them manually after changing an element.

An example: I import an existing file which has several Toolbar-Buttons with Client="Web, Outlook" set.
When I change e.g. the Javascript of one of the Buttons the setting is automatically set to "Client=Web". I have to re-set it manually before I save or my application will not work as expected.

Perhaps you could investigate that.

Best regards from Germany

Another bug:
If I add more than one NavBarItem, the Id ist not read from the XML-File but stays the same when jumping between the different NavBarItems.

Best regards

New XrmToolBox plugin : Import/Export NN relationships

Image
Two plugins in one day! wow! This one was, in fact, developed a couple of months ago. One of my colleague was using a solution from my fellow MVP Andrii Butenko which allows to import/export NN relationships in a silverlight web resource. This was nice but my colleague was using other attributes than primary key to do the mapping and Andrii’s solution does not support this. So he asked me to develop a XrmToolBox’s plugin that could do this. And, here it is! You can select entities and relationships and moreover, choose mapping attributes on both enitities. I only let text and number attributes selectable as other does not really make sense for mapping purposes. Then you can import or export NN relationships! Here is a preview As usual, this plugin, among other, is available with XrmToolBox on CodePlex

Searchable Propery Attribute Updater

Image
Hi, The previous post was not the last one... :) You can find in this post the first tool that will make your life easier: Just remember when you customer asked you to remove all these unused attributes form the attribute list of the advanced find form... You navigated through all attrbutes form to modify the Searchable property of each attributes for hours... (maybe am I exaggerating a bit...) The program I give you allows you to update all attributes in a single winform application! Yes it can be! Do not hesitate to give me your comments about this program if you think improvements can be done... Download:

Full featured CRM grid in HTML/JS

Image
In last December, I was asked to write a web resource to display a grid with CRM records. I was quite frustrated because I didn’t succeed to manage some grid features easily like fixed header with horizontal scrolling among others. I delivered a fixed table which was not so bad but absolutely not something that look like the application grid views. So I decided to work harder to find a way to do this CRM style grid view. After some works (almost two full days), I have succeeded to create a full featured CRM grid view by using only JavaScript. Here is a screenshot: And this is how I can create a grid view from only a div in a HTML page < html > < head > < title > Page de test </ title > < script src ="json2.js"></ script > < script src ="jquery.js"></ script > < script src ="XrmServiceToolKit.js"></ script > < script src ="sdk.metadata.js"></ script > ...
