Customizing module not with studio

[eric.ceyral]

Hi all,

I am quite a newbie to sugar.
I have created a new module for the needs of my company (I have used logic_hooks to add some logic thx to the very interesting book called "SugarCRM Developer's Manual").
This new module has been created by "copy & paste" from an old module with a minimum set of fields.
Of course my end-users have begged on additionnal fields & I have decided to use Studio to add these new fields.

It s where my problems began to appear.
The design of the views seen through the studio is not fully on line with what I designed in a way that for some reasons (I don't know) some fields have disappeared.
I have tried to understand how the studio is working and frankly gave up since I don't have the time to dive into this code.
Anyway I could make the necessary modification using the studio and then mdify the appropriate views to get it work

The needs of my end-users are finally cristalizing and I decided to modify vardefs & bean file in order to have a clean design without using the studio.
Trying to do that I am having a problem with the enum fields in a way that I can't find where are stored the entries of my enum list.
Is it somewhere in the database? In a cache file?

Can anyone help?

Thx in advance

Eric

Hello Eric,

the custom dropdowns are stored in custom\include\language\en_us.lang.php for the english version.
As all dropdown fields can be translated to other languages there can be other files too.

The problem "disappearing fields" occured in my environment only with float fields.
The funktion admion - repair - repair database shows and sometimes repairs the missing fields,
but if not you can create them yourself by hand in the database.

Another tip: do not use the studio with IE, use Firefox you'll have less problems.
