Hello,

Thanks for the kind reply. However, this example shows how to create a 
new field for a new new block in a new module.

What I am looking for, is to create a new field in existing user module 
so that I have new parameter in the "My preference" user option. In 
other words, I am not creating a new module and forces the new block and 
field to the existing user module:

/> $module->name = 'Users';
/>/  $module->id = 29;/


I wonder if this is good practice.

Secondly, since I am not creating a new module instance, it will not 
appear in the module manager. So that means it will not be exportable. I 
wonder what should be the approach.

I looked pretty much around the web for example of module extension (not 
how to create a new module) but could not find any literature.

Thanks, Joel

Follow the following sample for creating new field,


<?php
$Vtiger_Utils_Log = true;
require_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Module.php');
require_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Block.php');
require_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Field.php');

$module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Project');

if($module)
{
     $block    =
Vtiger_Block::getInstance('LBL_PROJECT_INFORMATION',$module);

     if($block)
     {
         $field = Vtiger_Field::getInstance('hours',$module);
         if(!$field)
         {
             $field = new Vtiger_Field();
             $field->name = 'hours';
             $field->table = 'vtiger_project';
             $field->label = 'Hours';
             $field->column = 'hours';
             $field->columntype = 'VARCHAR(40)';
             $field->uitype = 7;
             $field->displaytype = 2;
             $field->typeofdata = 'V~O';
             $block->addField($field);
         }
     }
     else
     {
         echo "No block";
     }
}
else
{
     echo "No module";
}
