I suggest you become familiar with the data model. you can do this by using webtools however if you going to make mods I suggest you create a new component. ./ant create-component this way you can get updates from the svn and not overwrite you mods.

Actually I need to customize the main page of the website Plus also have some specific needs as described below I have a requirement to capture more attributes (say favorite cuisine) than default for customers of my website. Is it ok to add more fields to the Party entity?? I am planning to change newcustomer.ftl for capturing the new field. The new field values would be actually selected by the user from a dropdown list of cuisines. So basically I would also have to add an new entity called "CUISINES". How do I go about doing this? Where do I add the new entity - in the entitydef folder?? And the data goes in data folder?? Please help. Thanks.
