[Vtigercrm-developers] vTiger 6 New UIType

[praneeth K]

Hi Salim ,

       As alan said we will not be using EditViewUtils.php . To add new
uitype please follow below procedure

       Lets Suppose we need to add new uitype for "link"

       1.  Using vtlib we will create field with uitype (say 200)
       2.  Now we need to map the uitype with the field type . This we can
do in Field.php(vtiger6/modules/models/Field.php)
       3.   Searh for the function getFieldDataType(). In here you can map
the uitype to field type

                  if($this->get('uitype') == "200') {
                         return 'link';
                  }

       4. This will define the specific field type for the uitype . Using
this fieldtype we can design our element in the way we need.

       5.  Add a new file called Link.php under
vtiger6/modules/Vtiger/uitypes and it should have class like
*Vtiger_Link_UIType
*and it should extend Vtiger_Base_UIType

       6. Overwrite the function getTemplateName and give value as
uitypes/Link.tpl. The same file should exist in path
vtiger6/layouts/vlayout/modules/Vtiger/uitypes.

       7. In this file you can design your element . This will effect in
views Edit.QuickCreate and MassEdit

Hope this helps you
