I'm trying to create a .install for a module that I'm migrating from Drupal 6. It requires two 'profile fields', which, in drupal 6, it checked for and created automatically.
To upgrade it to drupal 7 I'm trying to do this with fields! Easy enough right?
So far I have
if(!field_info_field('user_fullname')) {
$field = array(
'field_name' => 'user_fullname',
'type' => 'text',
'settings' => array(
'required' => TRUE,
),
);
field_create_field($field);
$instance = array(
'field_name' => 'user_fullname',
'entity_type' => 'user',
'label' => 'The user\'s full name',
'bundle' => 'additional_info',
'required' => true,
'widget' => array(
'type'=>'options_select',
)
);
field_create_instance($instance);
}
Which, sure enough, creates the field, but it's not visible in the user's profile?
Do I need something additional for that? If so, What?
Many Thanks.
SOLVED: It was due to the bundle (not entirely sure what a bundle is really), I changed the bundle to 'user' and it appeared!
