Custom Drupal 7 Field only saves the first character


I'm essentially trying to create my first field type module using the new Drupal 7 Field API. I've managed to get it to display correctly in the "edit" view.
However, when I try to save some data it only saves the first character.

Here's the module:

<?php

function youtubefield_field_info() {
  return array(
    'youtubefield_video' => array(
      'label' => t('Youtube video'),
      'description' => t('This field stores a youtube video ID and displays the video associated with it'),
      'settings' => array(
        'max_length' => 11,
      ),
      'instance_settings' => array(
        'text_processing' => false,
      ),
      'default_widget' => 'youtubefield_video_widget',
      'default_formatter' => 'youtubefield_video_formatter',
    ),
  );
}

function youtubefield_field_widget_info() {
  return array(
    'youtubefield_video_widget' => array(
      'label' => t('Default'),
      'field types' => array('youtubefield_video'),
    ),
  );
}

function youtubefield_field_widget_form(&$form, &$form_state, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, $delta, $element) {
  $element['#type'] = 'textfield';
  $element['#default_value'] = isset($items[$delta]) ? $items[$delta] : '';
  return $element;
}

function youtubefield_field_is_empty($item, $field) {
  return !$item;
}

function youtubefield_field_formatter_info() {
  return array(
    'youtubefield_video_formatter' => array(
      'label' => t('Youtube video'),
      'field types' => array('youtubefield_video'),
    ),
  );
}

And here's the installer:

<?php

function youtubefield_field_schema($field) {
  return array(
    'columns' => array(
      'value' => array(
        'type' => 'varchar',
        'length' => 11,
        'not null' => true,
      ),
    ),
    'indexes' => array(),
  );
}

EDIT: The problem seems to be related to the widget, as it works fine when it gets the data programmatically.


Solution

  • This widget form worked for me:

    function youtubefield_field_widget_form(&$form, &$form_state, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, $delta,\
     $element) {
      $main_widget = array();
      switch ($instance['widget']['type']) {
      case 'youtubefield_video_widget':
        $main_widget = $element + array(
          '#type' => 'textfield',
          '#default_value' => isset($items[$delta]['value']) ? $items[$delta]['value'] : NULL,
          );
        break;
      }
      $element['value'] = $main_widget;
      return $element;
    }
