[Vtigercrm-developers] Right way to override layout

[Uma S]

Hi Nilay,

Yes, That's the way to introduce new layout changes. These are the
following steps to be taken care of while porting a new layout.

1. layouts/v7 need to be copied to layouts/custom folder.
2. In php files api's getHeaderScripts() and getHeaderCss() where they are
loading js scripts and css files respectively. Depending on layouts/v7 or
layouts/vlayout should be replaced with respective custom layout.
3. Any image references from layouts/v7 should pass through vimage_path()
api to get loaded from default layout, With necessary images copied to
respective layout.
