It depends what you want to do. In most cases activeCollab does not query database directly. Instead, it uses model classes. For every table there are two classes:

- object class represent single row in the system. User for example.
- manager class that works with sets of rows. Users for example.

Here is a short example that illustrates this:

$users = Users::findByCompany($company); // returns array of User instances
foreach($users as $user) {
  print $user->getDisplayName() . '
';
}

or:

$user = new User();
$user->setDisplayName('Ilija Student');
$user->save(); // Insert

// Whoops, not my name
$user->setDisplayName('Ilija Studen');
$user->save(); // Update

You need to handle on_project_tabs event. Check handlers.php and /handlers folders in milestones module for example to see how to do this.

How do you create milestones? Using activeCollab model (by creating new Milestone, populating fields and that calling save() method) or by directly inserting data into project_objects table?

If it's #2 you should avoid it. Use model layer instead because it's the safest way and it does a lot for you (rebuilding caches is one of the things).

PS: Regarding cache file creation, you don't do that directly, by creating a file. Instead, you call cache_set() to add data to the cache and cache_get() to retrieve it later on.

Hi ,
i am using activecollab.i have created one tab in project management,where user can directly generate milestones,he does not have to go on milestone tab and create new milestone.

this is working fine,when i see milestone page it shows me all milestones , but when i goto project overview it was not updated.

its shows previous records,i mean first there was only one milestone but when i generate milestone from my code there are 24 milestone in the database but it was not showing in the projet overview page.i think it some cache relatd problem .

what i have to do so that when a user views this page he can see count of all milestone.

previously when there is only 1 milestone

"1 tasks done of 1 in the project (100% done)"

when there are 24 milestone

"1 tasks done of 1 in the project (100% done)"

why it is not updated.

when i update the one milestone which is already there

"1 tasks done of 24 in the project (100% done)"

please reply to me as soon as possible
