splittingred / doodles Goto Github PK

I am new in extra developement for ModX so please bare with me :)
I am at the point where you create the include snippet in modx with the extra lines of code before the return statement:

<?php
$o = include $file;

$m = $modx->getManager();
$created = $m->createObjectContainer('Doodle');
return $created ? 'Table created.' : 'Table not created.';

return $o;

But when I run the resource document in the browser it says "Table not created."

I'm running this on localhost with xampp.
ModX is installed in /www/modx2
and doodles in the seperated folder /www/doodles

.htaccess RewriteBase is /www/modx2

added System Settings:
doodles.core_path to /www/doodles/core/components/doodles/
and
doodles.assets_url to /doodles/assets/components/doodles/

I noticed that the code in github is slightly different from the ones in the tutorial.
Example: I had to change the MODX_BASE_PATH in "build.config.php".
So I Added

define('MODX_BASE_PATH', dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))) . '/www/modx2/');

to make it work in the local environment. this wasn't in the tutorial :(

Is there something else I am missing to make it work on a local mashine?

Hi,

I followed all the tutorial with success and everything worked perfectly except after the install of the doodles package.
I add the following error trying to access the CMP in the manager :

Could not find action file at: /www/core/components/doodles/controllers/index.php

So I changed the following line in doodles/_build/data/porperties/transport.menu.php :

$action->fromArray(array(
    'id' => 1,
    'namespace' => 'doodles',
    'parent' => 0,
    'controller' => 'controllers/index',
   ...

To :

$action->fromArray(array(
    'id' => 1,
    'namespace' => 'doodles',
    'parent' => 0,
    'controller' => 'index',
   ...

After uninstall and re-install the newly build package, it worked fine.

@splittingred could please let us know if this normal or if it comes from somewhere else ?

Hi,

I found some issues with the doodle docs
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Developing+an+Extra+in+MODX+Revolution

Please remove the comma at the end
'schema_file' => $root.'core/components/doodles/model/schema/doodles.mysql.schema.xml',

Hi,

I seem to have problems getting this component to work with 2.0.8 by either following the tutorial on the rtmf.modx.com or by downloading the source from here.

Could it be that this tutorial does not work with the most recent version?
