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

Hey Aploic,

I see that you integrated the module into a fork of vtiger. I think it would
be best to take it out of the fork again and start a repository just for the
module. Then it's more separated and it's easier to contribute without all
the vtiger code all around it, which is not needed for the module really.
But I would also appreciate some guidance by the vtiger developers...
Prasad, Manu, Alan? How should module development be put into the
code.vtiger.com? As new repositories? Within a vtiger fork? Under the pkg
directory? 

I saw that your global search module has made some changes to the core in
http://code.vtiger.com/dubwise/vtigercrm/commit/8b15ba689af4c9e4b4fe336543ba12cd7c0cb6a8 
I find this very difficult, we should try to avoid this and go with Alans
proposed way from above of overriding the JS functions and then we can do
our own search function in the back end. I will help you with that. But
let's figure out what's the correct way of managing module development on
code.vtiger.com first.

Thanks, best regards
