[Vtigercrm-developers] create a module based on the trouble ticket (HelpDesk) module

[Hamono, Chris (DPC)]

I don't want to know  how to create a table. I want to know what can be put in the manifest. The question is vague because I don't know what can and what can't be put in the manifest. While I looked at other manifests from other modules it is also not always clear what does what. Which was why I was looking for some documentation.

It turns out some modules (like trouble tickets) have tables prepopulated in a separate script. Which makes no sense in a modular system. It was the core of the problem I was trying to resolve. 

That link you provided has precious little information. I have seen it many times. And I google EVERYTHING many times before I resort to an email into this or any other list.

This is a developer's mailing list. If you ask specific question you are much more likely to get a helpful answer. Example:

"What is the right syntax to use to create a table in my custom module's Manifest file?"

> Is there some documentation which provides details about manifest.xml

Alternatively just open another module's zip file and take a look or Google presented me with this as it's first link:
