$Obj::addDatabaseFields()

addDatabaseFields is a class method that teaches PeoplePods how to handle database fields that you've added to the schema (most likely via an install function).

This method should be called from within a methods.php file in a plugin pod. The method is called on the class itself, much like the registerMethod() function.

This function takes an array of fieldnames. If a field requires extra attention when going in and out of the database, you may also specify select and insert helpers.

// simply define 2 new fields called "foo" and "bar" in the content object
Content::addDatabaseFields(array('foo','bar'));

// define an additional field on the person object
Person::addDatabaseFields(array('phone_number'));

// add a field that requires processing on select and insert
Content::addDatabaseFields(array(
	'zipcode'=>array(
		'select'=>'zipcodeSelectHelper',
		'insert'=>'zipcodeInsertHelper'
	)
));
