    Hy,<br>
    <br>
    I will break in your discussion and would say, that this will be a
    great enhancement, how to handle uitypes!<br>
    <br>
    If you move the data from function getFieldDataType() into database,
    this will open lots of possibilities. This shouldn't generate too
    much work.<br>
    But you will have your reason, if you don't do this.<br>
    <br>

      type="cite">Hi Salim , <br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As alan said we will not be using EditViewUtils.php . To
      add new uitype please follow below procedure <br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lets Suppose we need to add new uitype for "link"<br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.&nbsp; Using vtlib we will create field with uitype (say 200)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.&nbsp; Now we need to map the uitype with the field type .
      This we can do in Field.php(vtiger6/modules/models/Field.php)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. &nbsp; Searh for the function getFieldDataType(). In here you
      can map the uitype to field type <br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if($this-&gt;get('uitype') == "200') {<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return 'link';<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. This will define the specific field type for the uitype
      . Using this fieldtype we can design our element in the way we
      need.<br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.&nbsp; Add a new file called Link.php under
      vtiger6/modules/Vtiger/uitypes and it should have class like <i>Vtiger_Link_UIType
      </i>and it should extend Vtiger_Base_UIType<br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6. Overwrite the function getTemplateName and give value as
      uitypes/Link.tpl. The same file should exist in path
      vtiger6/layouts/vlayout/modules/Vtiger/uitypes.<br>
      <br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7. In this file you can design your element . This will
      effect in views Edit.QuickCreate and MassEdit <br>
      <br>
      Hope this helps you <br>

                      &gt; Hi<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt; Anyone tried to create a new UI type in
                      Vtiger 6, I have tried to edit<br>
                      &gt; "EditViewUtils.php" but no effect, It seems
                      no call at all to this file.<br>
                      <br>
                    </div>
                    I don't think vtiger 6 uses that system at all.<br>
                    <br>
                    Look in the vtiger6 directory and you will see a
                    completely new<br>
                    structure (MVC).<br>
                    <br>
                    I've not examined it in any detail but it is *very*
                    different from the<br>
                    current version of vtiger.<br>
                    <br>
                    'grep' is probably going to be your best friend on
                    your journey.<br>
                    <br>
                    HTH<br>
