Custom dropdown in an module installation

[YohN]

How (or where) must I specify new dropdown in my custom module installation to use in this module?

YohN,

You can add/remove items from a dropdown in Admin->Studio->Edit Drop Downs. You can create new drop downs and place them in a module in Admin->Studio->Edit a Module->...and so on.

No, this way is not acceptable - I want to INSTALL new dropdown with my custom module and without any custom handy input.

Create it in vardefs.php and to field_arrays.php then add it to your EditView.* and DetailView.*.
You also have to create the options of the dropdown in custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/en_us.<module_name>.php ( I think)

Create a language file in your install (e.g. mymodule-en_us.lang.php or whatever lang you are using) and add the dom in there with app_list_strings:

$app_list_strings['my_custom_dom']= array (
'' => '',
'entry1=> 'entry1',
'entry2' => 'entry2',
);

and in your manifest add to the installdefs:


'language'=> array(
array('from'=> '<basepath>/language/application/mymodule-en_us.lang.php',
'to_module'=> 'application',
'language'=>'en_us'
),
),

Now you can references my_custom_dom in your module.
