[Vtigercrm-developers] creating a test module/tab - best approach..

[Prasad]

Hi Bruce,

vtlib Project URL: http://forge.vtiger.com/projects/vtlib

Payslip is an example module to was created to explain the usage of vtlib
APIs

vtiger CRM is driven by PHP and Smarty. The files in modules/Payslip servers
as entry point
of different views like ListView, DetailView, EditView etc... Smarty
templates are used to generate
the HTML.

The information regarding fields of the modules are obtained using the
common (core) APIs.

After unpacking vtlib package, read through vtlib.Test.Module1.php to
understand the usage of vtlib APIs (Step 1 to 7 of documentation)
Read the Step 8 of the documentation to understand more details of required
Module files.

Regards,
Prasad
vtiger Team
