[Vtigercrm-developers] Cyclic vtlib relationships?

[Joe Bordes]

Hi Alan,

Each class has a method called vtlib_handler(), this method gets called 
on certain "install" events (to call them something). Exactly, I would 
say you are looking for the postinstall event of this method. That is 
where you can setup those relations that aren't established in the 
manifest file on import/export.
Basically the idea is that the manifest file is capable of establishing 
all elements related to the module being installed, but it cannot modify 
another module, so when you need your new module to appear (either as a 
uitype 10 field or a related list) on another module you have to do it 
in this method.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
