Custom module creation with sample code

Hi

Do we have a sample for custom module creation with sample code apart from the one in https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Module_development

Thanks

Use module builder module of Dolibarr !

https://www.dolibarr.org/57-documentation/features/261-module-builder-for-developers

Thanks. I checkd on that and created a module also using that.

Actually I want to add the below line in perms.php which is availabe in ‘user’ folder’.This is to hide Data import module from permission listing from non admin users. How can I do this through custom module

if(!$user->admin) $sql.= " and module != ‘import’";

Hi

I checked and uderstand as below, please confirm.

For changing the existing availabe features:

  1. We can use hooks to include our custom features.
  2. We can use hooks in our custom modules and can include our custom feaures
  3. While using hooks we need to change the ‘parameters’ array and need to include our custom feature. Apart from this ‘parameters’ array we can not change others like hookname, object and action (incase if we are going to change the existing availabe features)

Also is there any basic complete example of using hooks.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please explain what do you want to do, it will be better for us to understand.

Hook is usually used when you want to change the “screens” (html code) of Dolibarr

But if you want to change values, etc you may use triggers instead of hooks.

@+

I understand that - Trigerres are to execute personalized code after a Dolibarr event

Actually I want to add the below line in perms.php which is availabe in ‘user’ folder’.This is to hide Data import module from permission listing from non admin users.

if(!$user->admin) $sql.= " and module != ‘import’";

I also wish to do some more code editing like this

I am looking for a way to do this without changing the code

I tried creating a cutom module using dolibarr’s module building. But my left menus are not visible. Could you please suggest on this the code is as below

demomodule/core/modules/modDemoModule.class.php
