Resource types

Hello,

i am developing a new resource type and i have recognized nearly immediately that the resource type name can be set only in the resource.php. Is that right?

I found the resource_get_types() function in the resources lib.php which seems to get the localized string only from the resource.php. Is there a possibility to add the string at runtime?

Because this is not a very modular behaviour and it would make me happy if i have not to modify a standard moodle file for my module.

Greetings
Adam

function resource_get_types() {

 global $CFG;
 $types = array();

 $standardresources = array('text','html','file','directory');
 foreach ($standardresources as $resourcetype) {
 $type = new object();
 $type->modclass = MOD_CLASS_RESOURCE;
 $type->type = "resource&type=$resourcetype";
 $type->typestr = get_string("resourcetype$resourcetype", 'resource');
 $types[] = $type;
 }

 /// Drop-in extra resource types

 $resourcetypes = get_list_of_plugins('mod/resource/type');
 foreach ($resourcetypes as $resourcetype) {
 if (!empty($CFG->{'resource_hide_'.$resourcetype})) { // Not wanted
 continue;
 }

 if (!in_array($resourcetype, $standardresources)) {
 $type = new object();
 $type->modclass = MOD_CLASS_RESOURCE;
 $type->type = "resource&type=$resourcetype";
 $type->typestr = get_string("resourcetype$resourcetype", 'resource');
 $types[] = $type;
 }

 }
 return $types;

}
