[Vtigercrm-developers] How to extend feature such as Global Search without core modifications ?

[Alan Lord (News)]

This is fairly easy really,


They way we are doing it is like this but there might be other ways too.

You do it the same way you extend/override _any_ of the Javascript 
classes in vtiger.

i.e.

> Vtiger_Header_Js("MyCustomSearchModuleSearch_Header_Js",{},{
>
>     basicSearch : function() {
>     	return false;
>     },
> 	
> });
>
> Vtiger_BasicSearch_Js("MyCustomSearchModuleSearch_BasicSearch_Js",{

...

Load your JS class using HEADERSCRIPT definition in vtiger links
