Module Loader says successful install (v6.5.5 Enterprise), but in dropdown editor my_list_01,my_list_02 are not present...

Yes I get the same issue with drop-down list not showing. Can you also supply the origin reference material for creating these types of packages?

Edit found problem
"Hi finally have it working. Just wanted to point out you had to put the script in the scripts folder respectively. I think Pedro could not show files in folders with the online source code he was sharing so he used scripts__filename instead.

There was also another error where the array list of drop-down lists php file had no opening and closing php tags."

Hi sonesay,

Like eggsurplus says, the best way is to add the options in a languaje file and leave the package manager install it.

I hope work in this modification in these days.

How do i delete cache folder from here.. ??
