Can I view the code on any page?

[Detox]

hello all!

I hope I am posting in the correct place. I am attempting to understand EGW better so I can modify / customize small portions for local use. I am unclear on how to view the coding for any given page. Are all located in (windows PC) /htdocs/egw/calendar (addressbook ;filemanger; timesheet; etc)/inc as php files?

If so, is there a way to search for s specific column in a table that would be a part of any one php file?

I need to add / modify parts of db to include information needed locally, as well as add in fields on a page / screen . I do not want to break the programme in the process.

Thanks for any input

not quite sure, what you want to do. but I think its not as easy as you hoped it would be.
But you may try using custom fields:

• they are pretty much available in the major apps,
• you should not need to mess with the code, and
• you can add fields to an app, without breaking code
  for anything else you may need a deeper understanding of how EGroupware is designed
  and how it works.

And Yes, all php code is pretty much in APP/inc/*
But to actually put out a page to the user most input (and the resulting output) is handeled
by etemplate. more or less our rendering engine (not in all apps, but pretty much involved
all over the place).
So there is only the easy way to use what is available, and stay with the flow by using
customfields. Everything else will pretty much detach you from any changes that are
applied to EGroupware (and we are quite active).
