Guidance Needed on Creating a New Custom Page in SuiteCRM 8

👨‍💻 Development Help

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a project in SuiteCRM 8 and need some assistance with creating a new custom page. Specifically, I’m looking to:

  1. Create a new custom page that can be accessed from the main menu or via a URL.
  2. Add custom content to this page, possibly using defaultext to streamline the process. This might include integrating data from existing modules or using custom PHP/HTML code.

I would appreciate any guidance, best practices, or examples on how to achieve this. If there are specific files, directories, or configurations in defaultext I should be focusing on, that would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Thanks for your reply. However, I’m specifically looking to create a custom page within the existing Lead/Contact module. Like below:

  1. Add a new menu item within the Lead/Contact module.
  2. Redirect to a custom page when this menu item is clicked.
  3. Display custom HTML content on this new page.

Could you please guide me on how to achieve this? I’d appreciate any steps or examples you can provide.

Thanks again for your help!

This video playlist might help, it contains videos on customizing SuiteCRM 8.
I’d look at the video on Customizing the Menus.
Also, a basic tutorial on Angular the front end application framework Suite 8 uses.
