Different instantiation of a module - Guido1982 - 12-13-2016
I see that we have:
PHP Code:
$modname = 'SalesOrder';
$module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance($modname);
To get a module instance. But is that (and if so, how) different from
PHP Code:
$so_focus = new SalesOrder();
RE: Different instantiation of a module - joebordes - 12-13-2016
The difference is that getInstance() will include the class file for you. In other words,
$focus = new XX();
requires that you have previously done
require_once('modules/XX/XX.php');
while the getInstance will check if the file is not loaded yet and load it for you

Ah, good to know. But any way you instantiate, the same methods will be available?
RE: Different instantiation of a module - joebordes - 12-13-2016
yes, it is exactly the same, getInstance() ends creating a new XX()
