im new in vtiger and i really get a hard doing some custom module. Until i see and follow this tutorial http://community.vtiger.com/help/vtigercrm/developers/extensions/examples/entity-module.html.
I made a sample program to record the first name and last name of a certain person and base on the tutorial I made it. Now the scenario of my problem is something like this. What if want to make a new field where the value is the first 2 letters of my first name and and the first 2 letters of my last name ? So for example my name is John Doe, then the value of my custom field would be Jo-Do. It is my first time using vtiger and i dont have any idea where to start to make things work like this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Once you have the field created, you can use jquery to fullfill it, you can use the .val() function to get the name and the same to write it down
