Thanks very much Joe,

That helped a lot. I now have a working UI type 69 field in a custom 
module which also renders the image in Detail View like in the Contacts 
module :-)

I have had to add some code to the DetailView.php of my module to 
intercept the $smarty->assign getBlocks() call as UI type 69 is not 
supported outside of Products or Contacts in the 
/include/utils/DetailViewUtils.php file...

But at least I have done this without having to modify core vtiger code.

Does anyone know if I can override the 
Smarty/templates/EditViewHidden.tpl file in a vtlib module too? It's 
only a minor change to line 84 to add the ENCTYPE... but it is a 
modification to core once again, which I would like to avoid if at all 
possible...

Cheers

Al
