[Vtigercrm-developers] jQuery.Class and extend()

[Prasad]

Alan,

registerEvents is the main function that gets invoked on the client-side
javascript controller.
Either new / extend works.

With extending the base list view it gets the other function definitions
that can be invoked at sometime later.

WorldClock v1 example doesn't follow the same UI conventions as its parent
and hence does not invoke the parent method.

Have a look at few standard modules like (Contacts
<http://trac.vtiger.com/svn/vtiger/vtigercrm/branches/6.0.0/layouts/vlayout/modules/Contacts/resources/Detail.js>,
Rss
<http://trac.vtiger.com/svn/vtiger/vtigercrm/branches/6.1.0/layouts/vlayout/modules/Rss/resources/List.js>)
that does extend client-side controller.
