Custom Module - Enum to Multienum

[cnielsenlev]

Hey all -

I have a custom module that has an enum in it. We have decided to convert it to a multienum. No problem, I think to myself.

Change the vardef to multienum, rebuild the cache. SWEET!! The Edit view works. Select a pair of values and click save. The detailView just shows a small black sqaure in the field??

The value in the database is "Array " - LOL -- Broken, I think to myself... I wonder how to fix it?


EDIT: There's not solution here but this thread is related.


Thanks -

Cole

Hi Cole.

Check if in the vardefs the field definition has the attribute "isMultiSelect".
Remove it and Rebuild Extension.
Make sure the editviewdefs and detailviewdefs has no the attribute 'type' => 'multienum'.

Thanks for the reply.

Vardefs do not have the isMultiSelect parameter.
The edit and detailviewdefs do not have the 'type' attribute for the fields.

Rebuilt extension, cleared the template cache.


Multiselect appears on the Edit view - had the right option selected that was in there from before list view showed the item plus that silly black box I was talking about previously. Selected 2 options, clicked save, behavior is the same...

Was able to resolve this by removing and re-adding the field to the Edit View --- a second time.

The isMultiSelect = true entry in the vardefs was critical.


Thanks for the help
