Hi Tony/David.<br> <br> I've taken a look at the pdf docs for the vtlib. I'm trying to wrap my head<br> around exactly what the payslip app does.<br> <br> I see that it performs some db functions, as well as connecting into the<br>
vTiger app... But I can't see where the UI stuff occurs. I'm assuming this<br> is in the Smarty Template stuff, that's not provided.<br> <br> If I simply wanted to create a "copy" of an existing module/tab, that I<br>
could then modify... is there an example somewhere that I can play around<br> with?<br> <br> Basically, I'm looking to create a test module, that will allow a user to<br> select an account/contact that the user will work with. The current version<br>
of vTiger doesn't appear to allow this kind of functionality.<br> <br> Thanks<br> <br><br> -bruce<br> <br><br> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Tony Thomas [mailto:<a href="mailto:tgt@vtiger.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">tgt@vtiger.com</a>]<br>
