[Vtigercrm-developers] extends Contacts class - new relations

[Alan Lord]

I presume you have created a UIType 10 field in your custom module for a 
Contact reference?

e.g.:
$module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('vulOrg');
$block = Vtiger_Block::getInstance('vulOrg Information', $module);

$field = Vtiger_Field::getInstance('contact_id', $module);
if ($field != false) {
     $field->unsetRelatedModules(array('Contacts'));
     $field->delete();
}
$field = new Vtiger_Field();
$field->name = 'contact_id';
$field->label = 'Contact';
$field->column = $field->name;
$field->columntype = 'INT(11)';
$field->uitype = 10;
$field->typeofdata = 'V~O';
$field->summaryfield = 1;
$field->masseditable = 0;
$block->addField($field);
$field->setRelatedModules(array('Contacts'));

Then you _should_ be able to use the standard method to create the 
relatedList in the Contact module. e.g.:

$contacts = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Contacts');

$field = Vtiger_Field::getInstance('contact_id', $module);
$contacts->unsetRelatedList($module, 'vulOrg', 'get_dependents_list');
$contacts->setRelatedList($module, 'vulOrg', array('ADD'), 
'get_dependents_list', $field->id);

Something like that should do it.

This was from memory so might need tweaking.
