[Vtigercrm-developers] This shouldn't be so hard!

[Alan Lord (News)]

I'm creating a new module for a client using vtlib.

We need to have a field in that module that will allow a user to attach 
an image or other file.

There seem to be several possible UI types, 27/28, 61, 69, 105 & 107, 
none of which work in my tests.

I also tried creating a UI type 10 field and 
setRelatedModules(array('Documents')) so the user could instead select a 
specific attachment already created and saved in the Document module, 
but this doesn't work either. The popup allows me to select the document 
but on save the field is always empty and nothing is being stored in the 
new modules database.

The forums are littered with requests with this functionality but no 
conclusive answers...

What is the right way to do what I, and many others, need?

Thanks in advance

Al
