The vtiger Calendar module is so non-standard it hurts ;-)

It is much improved in vtiger version 6 than v5 but it still requires a 
fair bit of hacking. Too much of the Calendar module, and its relations, 
have hardcoded assumptions.

If you want to relate Events and Tasks with another module you must add 
your module name to the vtiger_ws_referencetype table, e.g.

> INSERT INTO vtiger_ws_referencetype(fieldtypeid,type) VALUES(34,$MODULENAME)

(This assumes that UIType 66 has a fieldtypeid of 34 in 
vtiger_ws_fieldtype - do check)

Then you can use the standard vtlib setRelatedList() function to create 
the related list in your target module using the get_activities function 
name.

These two things will add your module to the picklist of modules in the 
Related To block of Events and Tasks. The other bit will create the 
related list of activities in your Module's Detail View.
