[Dolibarr-dev] Dictionary definition in module descriptor

[Remy Younes]

Hello everyone,

I noticed that modules can now add dictionaries by setting  $this->dictionnaries = array(); in the module descriptor (in 3.2 dev, maybe earlier but I wasn't aware).

This is a nice feature, however I can't figure out how to define the input type for each field. 

I see that this is hardcoded in dict.php in the fieldList method

for example, for country selection we have: 

 if ($fieldlist[$field] == 'pays') {

            if (in_array('region_id',$fieldlist)) { print '<td>&nbsp;</td>'; continue; } // For region page, we do not show the country input

            print '<td>';

            $html->select_pays($obj->pays,'pays');

            print '</td>';

     }

It would be nice to be able to define our own fields' types as well

Maybe the use of hooks or triggers would be appropriate.

Let me know if i'm missing something. Otherwise, I have some code that I wrote under dol v2.9 that I could share.
