customs fileds vardefs true location

[avas325]

Hi guys.

I'm relatively new to Sugar, but already run into a big problem.
using Sugar 6.3.0 CE

While creating a custom filed in Meetings something went wrong, so the field did not appear properly in the studio. I deleted it, while in Studio.

Now the entire module crashed.
Other modules are fine. but the meetings dashlet and scheduler do not work.

The error I receiving is
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in C:\xampp\htdocs\sugar\data\SugarBean.php on line 2354


after searching for the error, discovered this in Meetingsvardef.php in CACHE/Module/Meetings
'' =>
array (
'required' => false,
'source' => 'custom_fields',
'name' => '',
'vname' => 'LBL_.MEETING_TYPE',

It is at the beginning of describing new customs fields.
There is no space between '' and there is a space between LBL_ and MEETING

100% sure done the field properly at the first place, as so far done many.
So I assume the field was not deleted properly.

The temp solution is to rem the entire block of code for the field in the Meetingvardef.php
Works perfectly but until the next rebuild of the file.

Now the question.
Where I can find vardefs for the customs field for Meetings module and Ant try to remove the error from there so it will not be recreated in the CACH vardef file.

Spend hours searching CUSTOM, INCLUDE, EXTENSION, EXT folders as well MODULES folder. I also even tried to delete all references for meeting in the CUSTOM folder, cleared all cache and dropped the meetings_cstm table in the DB

As the phoenix bird it comes back to live and creates Meetingsvards.php in CACHE with the error.
repair and rebuild does not help

Any help will be very appreciated.

Cheers,
Alexey

The definition of a custom field like yours in meetings is stored in database table fields_meta_data.
Other additional attributes are stored in the directory /custom /Extension/modules/Meetings/Ext/Vardefs/
Here you can find some small files with der additional attributes named sugarfield_yourfield_c.php
If you delete a field by hand you must delete the associated field too.
On a admin - repair, all the samll files are collected in one file located for Meetings in
/custom/modules/meetings/ext/vardefs/vardefs.ext.php

You can even delete the appropriate lines by hand in this file instead of doing an admini - repair.

yes, fields created from studio has its metadata stored on database.
But you can overwrite its vardefs from Extentions, so you just have to create a file named:
/custom/Extention/modules/<module_name>/Ext/vardefs/<any_name.php>
with content:
<?php
$dictonary['<module_name>']['fields']['<property>']='new value;'
?>
