Zimbra structure

[adrien]

Hello everybody,

I'm a newbie with Zimbra dev and I need your help and your time to help me to understand how Zimbra is structured.

I know it uses the MVC design pattern. In order to understand how the files communicate between them, I try to modify the HTML code of the "new mail window". I found several files with the same code. So I try to modify one of them and especially the line where is the label for "Subject" and more precisely the html "<input>" where the user writes his subject. In this input, I wrote the "value" attribute with a simple "hello world" but of course I didn't see any difference on screen after my modification.

So I guess, I did the modification in the wrong file...

I try this in those 4 files :

template/Message.template (Compose section)
js/Mail_.js
/h/compose.jsp
/m/mocompose.jsp

Thanks in advance for any answer

Best regards,

Hi.
After you modify a template, you will have to compile it to javascript.
See the doc ZimbraWebClient/docs/ajax/template.txt

I don't know how about html client.
