Answer 1

SuiteCRM:

What you need to do is create your module using module builder. Then edit the default dashlet see modules/your_module/Dashlets/your_module_name/your_module_name.php.

You need to override the display() so that it returns the code that you wish to use. Typically you would return the HTML from an external file.

    function display()
    {
        $path = 'modules/your_module_name/Dashlets/your_module_name/your_module_name.html';
        parent::display();
        return file_get_contents($path);
    }
