[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger 5.10 extending Calendar module for Google?

[Prasad]

Hi Alan,

"Extension Modules" need not follow the general behavior of Entity Module.
It can be used when add-on functionality is needed, without the need for new
kinds of data objects that users view and manage.

Sample extension module:
http://forge.vtiger.com/frs/download.php/768/MyExtension-5.1.0-package.zip

Look at the file structure and the manifest.xml.

Regards,
Prasad
