A custom module, an external data source.
This tutorial will provide an overview of how to code your SugarCRM module to access external data and display that data in SugarCRM. This involves creating a custom function call and view for your custom module and removing the SugarCRM wrapper from that data. For this tutorial’s example, we’ll get the latest 20 Tweets which contain ‘SugarCRM’ and display them in a nice list. This data can then be used in a variety of custom integrations, such as dashlets or lightboxes.
