@Khadija

1- Turn on your Developer Mode.
2- Go to Module Def, Create Module.
3- Go to apps/your-app/your-app/config/ here you could find desktop.py
add this code,

	{
		"module_name": "Your Module Name",
		"color": "#8e44ad",
		"icon": "fa fa-puzzle-piece",
		"icon": "octicon octicon-rocket",
		"type": "module"
	},

4- Then run bench migrate

Also can you tell me how do I show it on main left sidebar?

7

The above procedure will also make it visible on left sidebar after bench migrate.

8

Now its showing, thankyou

Its again not showing, frappe seems to be full of bugs, also does not gets updated with the code, like sometimes updates sometimes just does not.

Have you create any doctype under it? try to add atleast one doctype.

after i added module in desktop.py i have syntax error when i want doing migrate

this is module code i added :

 {
"module_name": "Real State",
"category": "Modules",
"label": ("Real State"),
"color": "#1abc9c",
"icon": "octicon octicon-tag",
"type": "module",
"description": "Dive into the basics for your organisation's needs." ,
},

and this a error :
File “…/apps/erpnext/erpnext/config/desktop.py”, line 160
“module_name”:“Real State”,
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

12

Add an underscore as _(“Real State”)

13

Your code is not valid.

You were required to supply valid JSON code. You have

"description": "Dive into the basics for your organisation's needs." ,
},

which contains an extra comma. Instead it should be

"description": "Dive into the basics for your organisation's needs." 
},

bench migrate is this command absolutely necessary for adding icon to desk?

What does this command do in general?

17

Standard practice is to run migrate after each update - where update ‘upgrades’ the code to the latest version, migrate transforms or ‘syncs’ the data from the old version to the new code version (by applying code and data patches.)

Any Idea about how to add breadcrumbs to a custom Doctype inside a custom module?

19

Use Build Module → Workspace → create a new workspace.

Then add doctype to that workspace it will show on left side like remaining modules.

Need more help ping me…!!!
