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);
        }
    }
