Make a change to layout

[lerry]

I’m trying to make some change to the layout of the addressbook. I’d like to increase the size of the box “Categories”. Digging a little in the code i find that the layout is saved in egroupware/addressbook/templates/default/edit.xet but if i change this file nothing happen in the interface.

How i can make this change?

Thanks in advice for your help!

I’m trying to make some change to the layout of the addressbook. I’d like to
increase the size of the box “Categories”.

There’s a preference to dedicate an own tab to categories. You can also
use a tree to visualise it.

Digging a little in the code i find that the layout is saved in
egroupware/addressbook/templates/default/edit.xet but if i change this file
nothing happen in the interface.

Currently xet files are only for documentation purpose. The real
templates are stored in the database in a serialized format. You should
use the eTemplate application to edit them.

I am trying to use the eTemplate, but with no success.

In my case, what I need is to remove the “Private” checkbox from the Options in Calendar > edit.xet

One of the things I did was editing a separate edit.xet file, then imported it through the eTemplate. It shows the model without the undesired field, just as I wanted.

From that point on I don’t know what to do. I tried saving it and copying it for installation, but either way I get back the original layout with the undesired field.

I also tried using the eTemplate to read the existing editable models, then selecting calendar.edit to edit. It shows me the original layout, but doesn’t offer any means of editing the code.

Can you help me with this?
