Hello

I am trying to centralize all the list of values that will be used in other modules, this way it's necessary to replicate the data in each module.

For example there is a dropdown called Season that will be applied to multiple model in different modules.

I define in a module called "data" with the following DefaultDataMaker

class DatasDefaultDataMaker extends DefaultDataMaker
{
public function make()
{
  $values = array(
   '000 - No Season',
   '131 - Spring Summer 2013',
   '132 - Fall Winter 2013',
  );
  static::makeCustomFieldDataByValuesAndDefault('Seasons',
			   $values);
}
}

Then in the Materials module the field is defined in the model

'relations' => array(
'season'		   => array(RedBeanModel::HAS_ONE,   'OwnedCustomField', RedBeanModel::NOT_OWNED),
)		
....................
'customFields' => array(
'season'   => 'Seasons',
),		  
 

and in the EditAndDetailsView

array(
'elements' => array(
  array('attributeName' => 'season', 'type'		  => 'DropDown', 'addBlank'	  => true),
),
),			
	

There is no error installing and when in edit mode I even see the field but it's not populated with data, what I am missing?

Did you define in DatasModule the method:


public static function getDefaultDataMakerClassName()
{
return 'DatasDefaultDataMaker';
}

Otherwise it won't get loaded on install.

Thanks, I was missing this method, it works now.
