Custom Module Help

Going to attempt to make a custom module,
Initially I think I need some additional flags and data fields for Cattle.

I started with some flags, which seem to work but have generated warnings.

User warning: The configuration name "farm_flag.flag.bull" does not match the ID "flag_bull" in Drupal\Core\Config\ConfigInstaller->createConfiguration() (line 394 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/ConfigInstaller.php).

Is there a naming convention for the ID’s? I’ve tried a few combinations of config name and ID including having them the same.

This is the current version:
farm_flag.flag.bull.yml

angcode: en
status: true
dependencies:
  enforced:
    module:
      - farm_cattle_flags
id: flag_bull
label: Stock Bull
entity_types: null


entity_types:
  asset:
    - animal

@Farmer-Ed Change id: flag_bull to id: bull - the file name needs to match the id declared in YML. So if the file is named farm_flag.flag.bull.yml then the id should be bull. The pattern is farm_flag.flag.[id].yml.

That fixed it alright, Thanks.

I was sure that was the combination I started with, but perhaps I used a capital letter.

Is there an easy way to add colour to tags? or does it require some additional PHP/CSS?

In case you don’t understand my accent, some color would do either :smiley:
It’s not really a big issue as the additional tags already make searching for and organizing records much easier, but maybe being able to highlight a few would be good too.

You need to do PHP/CSS yourself. Nothing unified yet - but we have a tracking issue open for this!

To style a flag named myflag you need three things:

  1. A CSS file in your module (eg: css/flag.css)
    .flag--myflag {
  background-color: #F00;
  border-color: #F00;
}
  2. A libraries YML file (eg: mymodule.libraries.yml):
    flag:
  css:
    theme:
      css/flag.css: { }
  3. An implementation of hook_preprocess_field__flag that adds your CSS whenever flags are displayed on the page (eg: mymodule.module):
    /**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_HOOK().
 */
function mymodule_preprocess_field__flag(array &$variables) {
  $variables['#attached']['library'][] = 'mymodule/flag';
}

Ah nice!

I’ll give that a go, thanks.
