[dev] Adding a custom type

[Darrell Sullivan]

I am trying to work with turba, but I need the ability to display an image link and other html in the contact record. 

>From posting on the turba list it appears that in order to do this I would have to implement a custom type in the Horde system. Basically I need something that displays like the html type in display mode but like longtext in edit mode.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to some documentation that would shed some light on how to go about this. I have been going through all of the php under Horde and Turba in the installation, but it seems like there are several references to the existing defined types. I am wondering if there is some documentation that indicates all of the scripts that must be edited in order to implement a new type.

Thank You,

Darrell
