Validator questions

1. What the heck is a ’file’ validator and how does it work?

2. In a ’php’ validator, how could you check to make sure that the current user is the main admin?

Same as a file resolver, except it would work with files before the object is saved.

If you’re not installing from the command line, you can check $transport->xpdo->user as always; just best to validate that $transport->xpdo is a modX class instance before assuming there will be a user object (i.e. is_a($transport->xpdo, ’modX’)).

Thanks,

What’s the difference between these two, and is one or the other preferred in a php resolver?

Just references to the same thing. Either is fine, though $transport->xpdo is probably the better bet in case the object is not available for some reason...
