How to create funtionality to add and subtract days within a module?

[Secret_Agent_99]

Hi,

I am in the process to create an Attendance Mangement Module for my company's HRIS system.
So how would you automatically increment the year-to-date total, and subtract days depending on how many days taken off. I know I don't think its possible within the studio, so how would you begin creating custom code within the file where you can apply custom code to? I am confused how to embedd math functionality in this open-source software.

Thanks

First of all you need to know PHP and SQL.
If you already know you can begin exploring your new module folder, it should be in SUGAR_INSTALL/modules/MODULE_NAME/

If it doesn't exit you can create a file called Save.php and try to get some of you module variables and staff to begin to understand how thing go.

You can get more information in http://developers.sugarcrm.com/

Hope it helps
