[rt-users] [Rt-devel] adding a new section in tickets display

[SathiyaMoorthy SP]

Hi

Thanks for your reply & time.

I too tried copying a section and found that it does not got changed
anything in the front end. Even deleted a couple of lines, refresh page -
restart apache, and found no change.

As i was editing the main flow very first time, i was not aware of the
DevelMode, and caches.. Finally got it working with the following pages
help....
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/CleanMasonCache
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/DevelMode

Now doing good with the development. And one other question, as am adding a
new section to ticket display page ! I would like to know, is there any way
i can find/understand the normal flow....

May be is there a way to go in debug mode, and find the flow of 'how a
ticket display works?' Or is there any document or flow chart explains ...
Basically i would like to know how does the general flow goes, and plug my
new section in to it !

Hope the above explanations are clear ?! Or else, when adding a new feature
which is very similar to an existing - knowing about it would help in
developing this too !

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
Moorthy.
