Adding extra fields types

[Mohammad Sami]

Hi;
as jtrac was designed there are many types of fields like drop down lists and date etc.
last week i added 2 extra decimal numbers, i made changes on fields.java, abstractItem.java and hbm file and I added them to the tables and it works correctly.
now i need to add 2 extra fields types  : text area and checkbox
any idea how can i add these two types and what classes should i change
thanks

I made modification to fields, abstractItem and hbm file and messages.properties file
I also made modification on CustomFieldFormPanel.html : I added these two tags

<wicket:fragment wicket:id="textArea"><textarea cols="20" rows="5" wicket:id="myTextArea"></textarea></wicket:fragment>
<wicket:fragment wicket:id="checkBox"><input type="checkbox" wicket:id="myCheckbox"/></wicket:fragment>

and I added this code to the CustomFieldFormPane.java
else if (field.getName().getType()== 7){ // TextArea
                    Fragment f =new Fragment("myTextArea", "textArea");
                    TextArea textArea = new TextArea("myTextArea");
                    textArea.setLabel(new Model(field.getLabel()));
                    f.add(model.bind(textArea, field.getName().getText()));
                    listItem.add(f);
                }
                else if (field.getName().getType()== 8){ // CheckBox
                   Fragment f =new Fragment("myCheckbox", "checkBox");
                   CheckBox checkBox = new CheckBox("myCheckbox");
                   checkBox.setLabel(new Model(field.getLabel()));
                   f.add(model.bind(checkBox,field.getName().getText()));
                   listItem.add(f);
                }

but there is an error occurred, can you please tell me is my work correct and if not what i should have done
thanks

Hi,

I was able to add a textarea. I guess that it should be the same procedure for checkbox.
The files that I changed :
domain
* AbstractItem.java : add getter/setter for the new custom fields
private String cusText01;
private String cusText02;
private String cusText03;
* ColumnHeading.java : getProcessor adding the new case number
case 7:
case 5: // free text
return new Processor() {
* Field.java : adding the custom fields like
CUS_TEXT_01 (7, "cusText01"),
CUS_TEXT_02 (7, "cusText02"),
CUS_TEXT_03 (7, "cusText03")
and the coresponding decription/methods wicket
* CustomsFieldsFromPanel.html :

        <wicket:fragment wicket:id="textArea"> <textarea cols="20" rows="5" wicket:id="field" class="customSizeTextArea"></textarea></wicket:fragment>
*  CustomFieldsFormPanel.java#addComponents() : 
      else if (field.isTextArea()) {
                 /*
                  * ======================================
                  * TextArea field
                  * ======================================
                  */
                 Fragment f = new Fragment("field", "textArea", CustomFieldsFormPanel.this);
                 TextArea textArea = new TextArea("field");
                 textArea.add(new ErrorHighlighter());
                 textArea.setRequired(isRequired);
                 textArea.setLabel(new Model(field.getLabel()));
                 f.add(model.bind(textArea, field.getName().getText()));
                 listItem.add(f);

             }
