Can i create a new module of my own

[archian]

Hi,

Can i create a new module like "Conference" which is similar to "Meeting" Module? i am basically trying to understand the underlying integration points. Say for e.g i want to integrate one product with SugarCRM, should i use only the existing modules or shall i create a new module of my own which does that functiaonallity.

Thanks,

Hi there,

You can certainly create a new module. For documentation on how to start, please refer to the wiki pages. There is a set of sample code you can use as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. In that case how will the database been updated if i am adding a module to the existing suger? Canl the module loader do the creation seed data for the added module in database also? or is there any other way where we can add the module.

Thanks,

Hi
Yes, Module Loader creates a table for you, based on definitions in vardefs.php

Hi,

Thanks for the updates. If i need to create only one field of a table, will it be possible with module loader. Because i tried by adding an extra field in vardef.php and Module loader installed successfully. But i could not see the field added to database. I am sure am missing something.

could you please let me know what has to be added to make sure a field been added to the existing database table of SugarCRM.

Thanks,
