Module w/o extending Beans

[austints]

Is it possible to create a module that does not extend the Beans class? We want to make a custom module that simply uses SugarCRM for permissions but uses a custom interface. Basically, we only want access to the functions (namely permissions) and have it create a tab but not extend the interface in any way.

I tried the same with ZuckerDocs, but didn't succeed. Finally, I wrote a "Dummy Bean" (see ZuckerDocs distribution on sugarforge), which doesn't anything and is only a placeholder for showing the tab and not break other Sugar functions (build relationships, reporting etc) - nothing more is required in my case.

This "dummy bean" sounds like it may be what I'm looking for. I've read the ZuckerDocs installation manual but can't find any information on it. Could you point me in the right direction?

Could you point me in the right direction?

unzip the package and copy the file modules/ZuckerDocs/ZuckerDummyBean.php (or something similar).

That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
