Liferay dynamic data lists

Question

I'm using liferay (6.1) to make my portlets and right now I'm using dynamic data lists to define my data definition.

Is there anyway to add new Data definition fields?

Instead of the calendar date I want to add hours, minutes and seconds in the format of hh:mm:ss

Answer 1

I don't think there is an easy way to extend DDL available field types.

DDL Field types are hardcoded into the code (take a look at com.liferay.portlet.dynamicdatamapping.storage.FieldConstants), so you'll need to use the ext-plugin to change that; also, the JSPs are a little hairy.

So, while possible, I would expect the task to be quite complex.
