vtiger

[sethuhdiah]

Hello,
I am fairly new to vtiger, after many hours of researching several types of open source scripts. I am very happy with the progress that vtiger has made, however I see very many things that it could use such as erp, better inventory management, project management, accounting/payroll, cms, and then some.

I have found several open source scripts that provide different pieces that vtiger could use. Thus, I would like to begin integrating more modules into vtiger from the other open source scripts.

I am curious to know if there is any tutorial that would explain where my code belongs for a new module. I see that all of the modules exist within the /modules folder, however I understand that many more files would need to be altered to correctly display the module.

Please let me know what kind of development documentation exists so that I can quickly begin implimenting new modules.

Thank you very much.
