Hello, I&#39;m new to the fields/CCK api, and having a bit of trouble getting Drupal 7 to see my field.<div><br></div><div>I found the field_example module in the examples.module, and found the corresponding presentation on Acquia TV (though the text was too low res to read). </div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m able to copy the RGB Color field example, enable it, and Drupal 7 sees and uses it without a hitch. I tried replacing instances field_example with mymodule but then Drupal stops seeing the field even after a drush dis mymodule &amp;&amp; drush en mymodule. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In the presentation the speaker said that all fields had a few minimum hooks, but I couldn&#39;t quite make it out on the screen. I tried to make a minimal field using just hook_field_info, hook_field_is_empty, hook_field_schema, and hook_field_validate, but I seem to still be doing something wrong. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I can post my code to the mailing list if desired, but I think what would really help me is if there is a minimal example of using hook_field_info and friends somewhere on the internet I can read through? I&#39;m really not sure  where I&#39;m going wrong in my code (no php errors or watchdog warnings, field just doesn&#39;t become available.) A smaller more digestible example would probably help me greatly. If not, can anyone point me to what hooks are the bare minimum that need to be implemented?</div>
<div><br></div><div>As an alternative to field_info I started using hook_node_presave() to mish-mash values, but I get an impression that&#39;s not the best way to make a custom field. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
<div>Thanks a bunch,</div>
