Easy Customizations Using Studio
John Mertic · Apress eBooks · 2009
In Part 1 of the book, you saw all the guts of SugarCRM and how they work together. I didn’t leave any stone unturned, showing how the MVC processes each request meticulously, how the database structure is built using vardef files, how the metadata framework removes the need for manually coding common views, and where to look for the various components of a module. Although I hinted at ways to customize this as you went along, in this section of the book you’ll dedicate your time to actually looking at customizing the application from how it ships to how you need to use it. The customizations you’ll look at are just extensions of the already existing modules. In Part 3 of the book, you will focus on actually building new functionality on top of SugarCRM.
