[Vtigercrm-developers] Custom UI Type?

[S T Prasad]

Hi Alan,
This is what I would do
0. Choose a unique name, Pick2radio and number, 999, for our new UI Type

1. New script, Pick2radio.php, model it on the simple Picklist.php
Path
modules\Vtiger\uitypes

2. Pick2radio.tpl, model it on Picklist.tpl, UI transformation to radio
logic goes here
Path
layouts\vlayout\modules\Vtiger\uitypes

3, Insert record into vtiger_ws_fieldtype with values, 999 and pick2radio
(note the lower case)
SQL:
insert vtiger_ws_fieldtype set fieldtypeid=<maxvalue+1>, uitype=999,
fieldtype='pick2radio';

Use the new UI number 999 in any new field earlier defined in vtiger_field
as picklist type(16) to test the basic concept.

There is some more work to be done to handle the selection, new picklist
entries etc, but i guess you got the drift

Regards, ST Prasad
