HI, Thanks everybody for you comments and suggestions. What I have made clear so far is: 1. WebERP updates and upgrades should not affect users settings (customizations). It is unwanted to maintaining separate files (scripts) for each client to avoid maintenance/upgrades become more and more laborious. 2. There are some methods to do that. One of them is FormDesigner.php. 3. FormDesigner.php as it stands now is very limited, but it can be improved. imho: It needs a converter from millimetres to dot-per-inch (and vice-versa). I explain myself: for positioning a field you should (a) measure from the lower-left-corner of the sheet to the the top-left-corner of the field in millimetres, (b) convert mm in dpi (unit used in PHP_Pdf_Creation) with formula DPI = MM * (72dpi / 25,4mm), and (c) store this data in the xml file through FormDesigner.php. I think it also need other functions such as 'SelectYesNo' (to turn on/off the printing of a field), 'SelectAlignment' (to select left, center, right or justified alignment of a field), etc. 4. It seems that the best is a base code for the form that is/generate a template that the user is free to modify. 5. It would be nice to have a pure WYSIWYG solution that allow the the user to modify the form. imho: This additional tier/layer over the FormDesigner.php xml-file seems to me interesting, but complicated. Or not? 6. FormDesigner.php allows to one customer to have different form-formats for each of this companies with the same standard scripts (code) for all companies. 7. Although the database is the preferred place to store data, to store form customizations is very complex. It is less complex to store form customizations in xml files. 8. It seems the best to have form customizations in a separate folder outside of core webERP files.
