It would be useful for module developers to be able to get a list of valid XoopsObject data types. This will facilitate the ability to create dynamic dB fields without the module having to create a list of the current XoopsObject datatypes in the module. (and trying to keep it current with the latest version of the core. A method something like XoopsLists::getObjectDataTypeList() could then return an array:
function getObjectDataTypeList()
{
return array( 1 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_TXTBOX',
2 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_TXTAREA',
3 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_INT',
4 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_URL',
5 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_EMAIL',
6 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_ARRAY',
7 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_OTHER',
8 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_SOURCE',
9 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_STIME',
10 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_MTIME',
11 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_LTIME',
13 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_FLOAT',
14 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_DECIMAL',
15 => 'XOBJ_DTYPE_ENUM');
}
This could also be used when the core creates XoopsObject instead of having it defined at the beginning of the ./kernel/object.php class file.
