Custom module using vtlib with step by step in vTiger7

I need to create a custom module in vTiger, but it should have all kind of variations in terms of field data types, default values, dependent picklists, relation fields [UI Type 10], etc.

I have installed the latest stable version of vTiger7, but I'm unable to start the entry point of this code, so let me know how to start.

Use free modules like Vtiger Module Builder. these modules use vtlib libary and you can create new modules through Vtiger UI.

Here is script where you can create new custom module in vTiger7. Keep Coding!!

You need to execute this script through url.

 <?php

include_once 'vtlib/Vtiger/Module.php';
include_once 'vtlib/Vtiger/Package.php';
include_once 'includes/main/WebUI.php';

include_once 'include/Webservices/Utils.php';

$Vtiger_Utils_Log = true;

$MODULENAME = 'CustomModule';

$moduleInstance = new Vtiger_Module();
$moduleInstance->name = $MODULENAME;
$moduleInstance->parent = "Tools";
$moduleInstance->save();

// Schema Setup
$moduleInstance->initTables();

// Webservice Setup
$moduleInstance->initWebservice();

// Field Setup
$block1 = new Vtiger_Block();
$block1->label = 'LBL_' . strtoupper($moduleInstance->name) . '_INFORMATION';
$moduleInstance->addBlock($block1);


// Filter Setup
$filter1 = new Vtiger_Filter();
$filter1->name = 'All';
$filter1->isdefault = true;
$moduleInstance->addFilter($filter1);

// Add field here using normal defination

$field = new Vtiger_Field();
$field->name = 'custom_name';
$field->table = $moduleInstance->basetable;
$field->label = 'Custom Name';
$field->column = $field->name;
$field->columntype = 'VARCHAR(100)';
$field->uitype = 1;
$field->displaytype = 1;
$field->presence = 2;
$field->typeofdata = 'V~M';
$block1->addField($field);
$filter1->addField($field, 2);

$field = new Vtiger_Field();
$field->name = 'assigned_user_id';
$field->label = 'Assigned To';
$field->table = 'vtiger_crmentity'; 
$field->column = 'smownerid';
$field->uitype = 53;
$field->displaytype = 1;
$field->presence = 2;
$field->typeofdata = 'V~M';
$block1->addField($field);

$field = new Vtiger_Field();
$field->name = 'createdtime';
$field->label = 'Created Time';
$field->table = 'vtiger_crmentity';
$field->column = 'createdtime';
$field->displaytype = 2;
$field->uitype = 70;
$field->typeofdata = 'D~O';
$block1->addField($field);

$field = new Vtiger_Field();
$field->name = 'modifiedtime';
$field->label = 'Modified Time';
$field->table = 'vtiger_crmentity';
$field->column = 'modifiedtime';
$field->displaytype = 2;
$field->uitype = 70;
$field->typeofdata = 'D~O';
$block1->addField($field);

// Sharing Access Setup
$moduleInstance->setDefaultSharing('Public');

$targetpath = 'modules/' . $moduleInstance->name;

if (! is_file($targetpath)) {
    mkdir($targetpath);

    $templatepath = 'vtlib/ModuleDir/6.0.0';

    $moduleFileContents = file_get_contents($templatepath . '/ModuleName.php');
    $replacevars = array(
        'ModuleName' => $moduleInstance->name,
        '<modulename>' => strtolower($moduleInstance->name),
        '<entityfieldlabel>' => $field1->label,
        '<entitycolumn>' => $field1->column,
        '<entityfieldname>' => $field1->name
    );

    foreach ($replacevars as $key => $value) {
        $moduleFileContents = str_replace($key, $value, $moduleFileContents);
    }
    file_put_contents($targetpath . '/' . $moduleInstance->name . '.php', $moduleFileContents);
}

if (! file_exists('languages/en_us/ModuleName.php')) {
    $ModuleLanguageContents = file_get_contents($templatepath . '/languages/en_us/ModuleName.php');

    $replaceparams = array(
        'Module Name' => $moduleInstance->name,
        'Custom' => $moduleInstance->name,
        'ModuleBlock' => $moduleInstance->name,
        'ModuleFieldLabel Text' => $field1->label
    );

    foreach ($replaceparams as $key => $value) {
        $ModuleLanguageContents = str_replace($key, $value, $ModuleLanguageContents);
    }

    $languagePath = 'languages/en_us';
    file_put_contents($languagePath . '/' . $moduleInstance->name . '.php', $ModuleLanguageContents);
}

Settings_MenuEditor_Module_Model::addModuleToApp($moduleInstance->name, $moduleInstance->parent);

echo $moduleInstance->name." is Created";

?>
