Adding Dropdown Field in Generic Object Plugin

BrandonJ · 2023-06-15 08:19:47

Hi!

I have followed every step in the Generic Object plugin documentation to add a custom field. I have created the necessary file at the file path glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\fields\server.constant.php

Within the file, I added the required code statements as follows.

<?php
global $GO_FIELDS, $LANG;

$GO_FIELDS['plugin_genericobject_servertypes_id']['name'] = $LANG['genericobject']['PluginGenericobjectServer'][1];
$GO_FIELDS['plugin_genericobject_servertypes_id']['field'] = 'servertype';
$GO_FIELDS['plugin_genericobject_servertypes_id']['input_type'] = 'dropdown';

?>

I have also defined the necessary field label at the bottom of the file located at this file path: glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\locales\server\server.en_US.php

$LANG['genericobject']['PluginGenericobjectServer'][1]="Server Name";

However, upon entering the 'Fields' section in the 'Objects Management' menu, several errors were displayed as follows.

Warning: Undefined array key "genericobject" in C:\xampp\htdocs\glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\fields\server.constant.php on line 4

Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\xampp\htdocs\glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\fields\server.constant.php on line 4

Warning: Undefined array key "genericobject" in C:\xampp\htdocs\glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\fields\server.constant.php on line 4

Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\xampp\htdocs\glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\fields\server.constant.php on line 4

Can someone please help me on this issue? Thanks.

Which GLPI and plugin version are you using?

Thank you for replying, Conard!

I am currently using GLPI 10.0.7 and Generic Object plugin version 2.14.3

Do you have a locale file for this object which sets the value for $LANG['genericobject']['PluginGenericobjectServer'][1]?

Apology for the late reply, Conard. Yes, I do. I saw that after the object has been created a locale file is created for it in the file path:

C:\xampp\htdocs\glpi\files\_plugins\genericobject\locales\server\server.en_US

I then added the additional code statement for adding a label for the custom field.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

$LANG['genericobject']['PluginGenericobjectServer'][0]="server";
$LANG['genericobject']['PluginGenericobjectServer'][1]="Server Name"; // Define additional label

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also had just done a fresh installation of the Generic Object Management plugin to try the same procedure again. Though, this time I saw the option to add the custom field onto my object without the errors I showed above. However, the ID of the custom field is set by default to 'Type' for some reason? It would be nice if I could set the ID of the custom field to 'Server Name', for example.

Moreover, since the input type of the custom field is set to dropdown, I am able to add options for the dropdown list. When I clicked on the plus sign on the dropdown custom field. I received errors on the page as follows.

Warning
: Table glpi_plugin_genericobject_servertypes does not exists in
C:\xampp\htdocs\glpi\src\DBmysql.php
on line
1187

It seems that I have to add the custom field to GLPI's database. If this is the case, can you please guide me on where to add it in the 'DBmysql.php' file?

Sorry, I don't use this plugin and don't have more information on how to use it beyond the documentation.

However, it seems to me like you need to also add a custom object for your ServerType.
