Need help with integrating odtphp library

Hi, I'm trying to create a snippet that creates an odt-file. This is the library: https://github.com/cybermonde/odtphp

This is my snippet:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

require_once($modx->getOption('core_path') . 'components/odtphp/Odf.php');
$odf = new odf(MODX_CORE_PATH .'components/odtphp/templates/test.odt');
$odf->setVars('title', 'Dit is een testtitel');
$message = 'Dit is de inhoud';
$odf->setVars('message', $message);
$odf->exportAsAttachedFile();
?>

I placed the files in the correct folder. (core/components/odtphp/)

Without the first two lines the page just doesn't display (500 internal server error). With the two lines I get:
Fatal error: Class 'odf' not found in /home/domain/domains/mydomain.nl/public_html/core/cache/includes/elements/modsnippet/137.include.cache.php on line 14

Does anyone know what could be wrong? Is it possible to do this in MODX like this at all?
Thanks for any help!! [ed. note: michelle84 last edited this post 10 years ago.]

Could it be that you have missspelled Odf.php? just in case - this can be the cause... it should be odf.php

Thanks flanger, but the file is actually named Odf.php so that should be ok I think.
After some more investigation I'm thinking it might have something to do with the fact that this project is using composer. There seem to be a lot of dependencies that are not working. I'll see if I can get it going.

If you look in the Odf.php file, is the class actually called 'odf' in the class declaration at the top (after the word "class")? Usually, class names start with an upper-case letter.

No, it's Odf with uppercase, but when I try 'new Odf(....' I still get the same error...

What does the __construct() function in that file look like?

It's definitely line 6 of your code above that's failing.

Is it possible that the constructor is looking for a URL instead of a path as the argument.

Or maybe there's something wrong with the test.odt file.

It's also possible that there should be an autoloader registered to make sure other sub-classes are loaded.
