Generic Object plugins and Fields

[Wolvverine]

It is not possible to add fields in Asset created with the Generic Object plugin.

Only for some dropdowns: Models, Types, Category.

Hello,
I guess the point is that this plugin is not compatible, if I'm not wrong, with Generic object. So If a new object is created in the inventory, it is not possible to customize the fields for that object.

Hello @Giudy
I don't understand your issue, as I'm able to do what your proposed:
I've created a new Object type, and I'm able to add "additionnal fileds" to it.
So be kind enough to detail your issue step by step, so that I'll be able to help you.
Thank you,

Hello @Wolvverine and @Giudy
I've done a backport of this feature (#546) to be available for GLPI 9.5, would you like to have it for GLPI 9.5?
Thank you,

@tomolimo
I am currently personally migrating my installations slowly to 10.0.x.
But I think some people will be happy, of those who won't be able to migrate for a while yet.

Hi, we do not plan to maintain any feature for GLPI 9.5; it's officially no longer maintained. Of course, any of you is free to provide any backport patch, but that will stay unofficial and not merged :)

Hello @Wolvverine
Here it is:

Just mofify the following source file: plugins/fields/inc/container.class.php in the PluginFieldsContainer::getItemtypes() method:

Add the following block of code:

      $plugin = new Plugin();
      if ($plugin->isActivated('genericobject') && method_exists('PluginGenericobjectType', 'getTypes')) {
         $go_itemtypes = [];
         foreach (array_keys(PluginGenericobjectType::getTypes()) as $go_itemtype) {
            if (!class_exists($go_itemtype)) {
               continue;
            }
            $go_itemtypes[$go_itemtype] = $plugin->getInfo('genericobject', 'name').' - '.$go_itemtype::getTypeName(2); ;
         }
         if (count($go_itemtypes) > 0) {
            $tabs[$plugin->getInfo('genericobject', 'name')] = $go_itemtypes;
         }
      }

Like below:

      $tabs[__('Administration')] = [
         'User'    => User::getTypeName(2),
         'Group'   => Group::getTypeName(2),
         'Entity'  => Entity::getTypeName(2),
         'Profile' => Profile::getTypeName(2)
      ];

      $plugin = new Plugin();
      if ($plugin->isActivated('genericobject') && method_exists('PluginGenericobjectType', 'getTypes')) {
         $go_itemtypes = [];
         foreach (array_keys(PluginGenericobjectType::getTypes()) as $go_itemtype) {
            if (!class_exists($go_itemtype)) {
               continue;
            }
            $go_itemtypes[$go_itemtype] = $plugin->getInfo('genericobject', 'name').' - '.$go_itemtype::getTypeName(2); ;
         }
         if (count($go_itemtypes) > 0) {
            $tabs[$plugin->getInfo('genericobject', 'name')] = $go_itemtypes;
         }
      }


      foreach ($PLUGIN_HOOKS['plugin_fields'] as $itemtype) {
         $isPlugin = isPluginItemType($itemtype);
         if ($isPlugin) {
            $plugin_name = Plugin::getInfo($isPlugin['plugin'], 'name');

            $tabs[__("Plugins")][$itemtype] = $plugin_name.' - '.$itemtype::getTypeName(2);
         }
      }
