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

Hello Joe,

Thanks for your tip with vtlib_handler(). That did the job.

I created this simple module mainly as a way to better understand the basics
writing a custom module. It surely is not as extended as the one you
developed.

Regards,

Joel

Hi,

The export process only registers information directly related with the
module. The  related list you are adding is information on the other module,
not yours.
To overcome this add your setRelatedList call in the vtlib_handler() method
of your module's main class.

May I ask why you didn't use our payment module?

Hello,

I have written a small module than enables to track payments of accounts.
Basically, it is a 1:m relationship with the account module, i.e. one
account can have multiple payment tracking entities. The idea is that I can
have my payment tracking module appear as a related list under the accounts
(organisations), just like other modules as quotes, projects, products etc
...

I used vtlib to create a script for the installation. For configuring the
relationship I use the get_dependents_list function as mentioned by Joe
Bordes at http://www.crmevolutivo.com/doku.php/es:vtlibrelated

concretely the code for this is :
$module->setRelatedList(Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Accounts'), 'Payment
tracking',Array('ADD'),'get_dependents_list');

this will correctly update the vtiger_relatedlists table with an extra
record.

So the script works perfectly with no problem. However, when I want to
export the new module, and install it on a new vtiger instance, I am loosing
the relationship. This means that the payment tracking will not appear as a
related list in the accounts. After checking, I found out that the import of
the zip package will not update the vtiger_relatedlists table.

Any idea why the export process is not working smoothly?

Thanks,
Joel
