Hi,

Is there a place where a global description of the working of SI can be found? Wiki?

I'm hitting some issues, and because I do not know why things are programmed as they are, it takes a lot of time to figure out.

I have been looking into index.php to try to determine the main flow.

I understand that 'default' is the main system, which can be overridden by an extension
module refers to a module, and is in fact the name of the folder the module can be found in
view refers to a view within a module, and is the pph file within that module

I see some default files are included if they exist (init, js-files); that is clear too

So far, so good.

BUT:
How is the template chosen? (I see a reference to header.tpl, and 'footer.tpl', and in between some string mangling to get the template name).
What is the meaning of the 'action' variable ?
What does 'page_active' do?

Thanks,

Marcel

hey marcel,

page_active is used by the menu system to show the correct active tab and highlight the correct link in the menu
- ie. if in the manage invoices page - make the Money tab active and highlight the invoices link in the menu

i'll reply better tomorrow - going to bed now

cheers

hey marcel

index.php contains the guts of how Simple Invoices work

one confusing thing that i have to sort out is ./templates/default

the only way to get a different .tpl file for a requested page is via an extension - as an override

default really needs to get renamed or the directory re-organised to make it more sane :)

feel free to ask any questions you need

cheers
