Any Post explaining various directories?

[purohitsumit]

Hi All,

I apologies if this is a redundant question. But even after developing with alfresco and share (version 4.2-c ) for 4-5 months I am still not sure about exact purpose of various directories. After following various examples(THNKS FOR THAT) I do get things work but "flexibility" of alfresco to add files/configuration/new code in various directories confuses me.

Ex :
1. when to put files in /alfresco/module vs /alfresco/extension (ALFRESCO WEBAPP)  vs /alfresco/web-extenions of SHARE WEBAPP
2. when to put a webscript in /alfresco/webscript (ALFRESCO WEBAPP)  vs /alfresco/site-webscript of SHARE WEBAPP.
3. Why is there "extensions" (not extension) under /alfresco/site-date/extensions ?

I am just looking for any blog/documentation/forum discussion which explains directory structure for alfresco 4.2-c

Thanks

Thanks Sanket,

Above links helped a bit.
But I am still not sure about dir structure. For Example :

1. When to add code in "module" dir vs "extension" directory
2. Where to add code if I want to add some functionality to core alfresco Ex. If I want to run some code when user click to left tree in alfresco share , should I copy paste entire tree.js file in "<my-base-jar>/META-INF/components/documentlibrary/tree.js" or I can put a custom file with "onNodeClicked" event ?

Thanks
