General customization

[Bubbly]

Hi,

I have tried some first step customizations of ofbiz. And I learned that I have to edit the basic configuration xmls. So if I install the patch that would overwrite  my customizations, isnt it?
If i am changing entitydef.xml, is there any other better way to extend the entity definition with out touching the out of the box components/files?

Thanking in advance.

Kind regards,
Bubbly

You can extend an existing entity by adding the following (or some form of it) in your own entitymodel.xml

<extend-entity entity-name="someExistingEntityName">
    <field name="yourExtraFieldInExistingEntity" type="id" />
</extend-entity>

But the new file we create has to be refered in some existing file, rt?

What I am thinking of is a confuguration file that will b touched only by ppl who customizes, not ppl who develops this product
