[Vtigercrm-developers] Packaging newly created module

Hello Adrian,
If you look at page 17 in vtlib documentation (mentioned as "step 5"), you
need to add to your installation script the relation between your module
and the others. See also the extensive explanation of joe bordes (link in
my original mail hereunder). Concretely, you will add something like that:
$module->setRelatedList(Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Accounts'), 'Payment
tracking',Array('ADD'),'get_dependents_list');
this create a relation of the new module with the one of the account. This
instruction will create a record in the relatedlists table as already
explained.
However, as joe bordes explained, when exporting the module it will not be
able to have the relationship extracted because this is something at the
account module level.
Assuming my new module is called PaymentML, go to PaymentML.php and add the
relationship instruction
$module->setRelatedList(Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Accounts'), 'Payment
tracking',Array('ADD'),'get_dependents_list');
to the function vtlib_handler:
function vtlib_handler($modulename, $event_type) {
if($event_type == 'module.postinstall') {
// TODO Handle post installation actions
!!relation command goes here!!
This will create the relationship in the table immediately after the module
is installed.
I hope that clears up.
Regards,
Joel
