Don't do it!! I did the below:
public function getDefaultEntities()
{
return array(
'catalog_product' => array(
'attributes' => array(
'size_guide_id' => array(
'group' => 'General',
'label' => 'Size Guide',
'type' => 'int',
'input' => 'select',
'source_model' => 'sizeguide/guide_adminhtml_source',
'default' => '0',
'class' => '',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
'unique' => false
)
)
),
'sizeguide_guide' => array(
'entity_model' => 'sizeguide/guide',
'table' => 'sizeguide/guide',
'attributes' => array(
'display_name' => array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Display Name',
'input' => 'text',
'sort_order' => 10,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'group' => 'General Information',
),
'status' => array(
'type' => 'int',
'label' => 'Is Active',
'input' => 'select',
'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
'sort_order' => 15,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'group' => 'General Information',
),
'content' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Content',
'input' => 'textarea',
'sort_order' => 20,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'group' => 'General Information',
),
),
),
);
}
And look what happened:
mysql> select * from eav_entity_type where entity_type_id = 4\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
entity_type_id: 4
entity_type_code: catalog_product
entity_model:
attribute_model: NULL
entity_table: eav/entity
value_table_prefix: NULL
entity_id_field: NULL
is_data_sharing: 1
data_sharing_key: default
default_attribute_set_id: 4
increment_model: NULL
increment_per_store: 0
increment_pad_length: 8
increment_pad_char: 0
additional_attribute_table: NULL
entity_attribute_collection: NULL
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
Basically it killed the entity type I was adding an attribute to.
