I'm new to SLX and javascript in general, but what I'm trying to do is add to the layout in the account view to have a new tab section.  However my code just overwrites the view entirely.  I'm not exactly sure how to add on to it instead of replacing it.  I guess I could paste all the code from the base configuration, but that's much less than ideal.  Any ideas?

dojo.extend(Mobile.SalesLogix.Views.Account.Detail, {
						createLayout: function() {
							return this.layout || (this.layout = [{
								options: {
									title: 'New Section'
									},
									as: [{
										name: 'AccountName',
										label: 'account'
									},{
										name: 'Account.something',
										label: 'whatever else'
									}]
								}]);
						}
					
					});

Thanks

Up in the github it lays out how to do customizaions.....this doesn't touch nor replicate the underlying base configuration at all. Rather, it injects or overwrites  the code from your custom project into the base code. The dojo stuff is getting updated on a daily basis.....1.2 Beta (which doesn't include the dojo code) is coming out next week.

What RJ is referring to is found here: https://github.com/SageScottsdalePlatform/argos-sdk/wiki/Creating-An-Application-Module

Basically, an ApplicationModule is a separate Javascript file that allows you to override stuff in the base views. When customizing mobile, you really don't need to touch any of the OOTB files for the most part. The ApplicationModule is a layer on top that changes the base files by adding, removing, or changing stuff. The Wiki on the argos-sdk repository on github is a great place to read up on how to do this.

Right, I understand it's overwriting the code.  I just wondered if there was some sort of way to retrieve the fields in the OOTB code, so that I didn't have to replicate every field on the account detail form inside of the ApplicationModule.

My other question is that if I use the following code to attempt to add a field to the account edit form, it doesn't appear.  Am I overlooking something?

this.registerCustomization('edit', 'account_edit', {
						at: function(row) { return row.name == 'Type'; },
						type: 'insert',
						where: 'before',
						value: {
							label: 'regionField',
							name: 'Region',
							type: 'text',		
						}
					});

Have you checked your dev-index.html configuration pointer? (i.e. are you still running off of the minimized production code?).
