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(); 

?

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?

yes, it is exactly the same, getInstance() ends creating a new XX()
