[Vtigercrm-developers] Relate custom module to troubletickets

[Richard Hills - TechnologyWise]

Thanks,

I have indeed now done it with a custom php script which must be run 
when my module is installed and this script calls the setRelatedList 
function.

Do any of you know if there is an existing method of forcing a custom 
function to be run at the end of the module import process so that other 
users do not need to manually run the PHP script upon installation?
