[Vtigercrm-developers] Can I do these things without core hacks?

[Alan Lord]

I should think you could achieve these by not having to modify core 
files, but you need to weigh up the time it would take to develop and 
extension module to override the normal behaviour vs a quick hack to a 
file...

Once I've done with migrating GeoTools to 6.1 I want to take a look at 
the tool David V provided on here called JSValidation (which we've 
modified a bit since then). This is for 5.4.0 and will probably need to 
be completely re-written for the v6 architecture but the approach it 
took was rather clever and has enabled us to write fairly arbitrary 
validation rules for any module without core hacks.

Cheers
