Hi
Busy with some customizations. This requires API keys to access info from various 3rd party vendors. Currently the customizations are all customizations that involve existing doctypes in the Agriculture module. These API keys must be stored somewhere and in my view, it should be kept under Agriculture settings but there is no Agriculture settings. Next proper place could be “System Setting” but that is a core-doctype and cannot be customized. The only doctype that I can customize to include this is “Company” ??? Any thoughts on best-practise for this ?
I think you should create a separate doctype for each integration. If the integration is more generic and could be useful to others, I recommend making it a separate app and releasing it as open source to benefit the community.
I also suggest creating your own app with a custom settings doctype.
Thank you for your mail @Maheshwari_Bhavesh
You are 100% correct in in suggesting an App. I just thought that , in view of the fact that the customisations all involve existing docs with no new docs, I could get away with not having to create an App. Actually, after I wrote the post, I realised it is not only the KEYs but also the URLs that need to be set up / stored.
Thank you for taking the time
