Hey folks! I’m new to ERPNext and I’m wondering if it’s possible to change how some pages look. I want to add a cool sidebar to the Asset Dashboard, but I can’t find where to make these changes.
I’ve looked everywhere for the right files to edit. Someone told me to check erpnext/erpnext/assets/doctype/asset/, but there’s no HTML there. Just some JS, JSON, and Python stuff.
I’m running version 14, and the setup was super easy. But now I’m stuck. Can I actually change the look of these pages, or am I stuck with what ERPNext gives me out of the box?
Any tips on how to customize the frontend would be awesome. Thanks!
hey, im curious too. did u check frappe docs? i think its where u can tweak erpnext aspects. what kind of sidebar customization you had in mind? i keen to know more, that could be cool if someone built custom themes modding the ui.
yo max, customizing erpnext can be tricky. have u tried looking into custom scripts? they let u add js to tweak stuff. for html changes, u might need to override templates. check out the bench command ‘get-app’ to grab core files. just be careful not to break anything!
Customizing ERPNext’s UI is indeed possible, but it requires some technical know-how. For the Asset Dashboard, you might want to look into Desk page customization. This allows you to add custom sections or widgets to existing pages without altering core files.
Another approach is creating a custom app that extends ERPNext functionality. This way, you can override specific templates or add new ones. It’s a more sustainable method for long-term maintenance.
Remember, direct modifications to core files are not recommended as they can cause issues during updates. Instead, focus on leveraging ERPNext’s extensibility features. The learning curve might be steep, but it’s worth it for achieving the customizations you desire.
