Understanding how may I instantiating xPDO?

[2010-03-01 15:37:46] (ERROR @ /Pruebas/UseObjects.php) Path specified for package ecuadormycountryta is not a valid or accessible directory: /xpdo/_model/

So, I'm assuming you've built your model maps and classes, you'll just run this function:

Code:

$modx->addPackage('mypackagename','/path/to/my/model/');

// ie, for a package "test" in your "core/components/myapp/model/test/'
$modx->addPackage('test',$modx->getOption('core_path').'/components/myapp/model/');


This will add all the maps to the current xPDO instance so that it can grab the object definitions. You can then grab your classes (table objects) by doing:

Code:

$modx->getObject('test.myObject');

// or, alternatively, but a tiny bit slower, because it has to search for the package:
$modx->getObject('myObject');

<?php
$xpdo->addPackage('ecuadormycountryta', XPDO_CORE_PATH . '_model/');
?>

<?php
include("xpdo.class.php");

$xpdo= new xPDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=ecuadortourism', 'root', 'exito2008','');
$xpdo->setDebug(true);
$xpdo->addPackage('ecuadormycountryta', XPDO_CORE_PATH . '_model/');   
$xpdo->getObject('ecumctaSegment');    

$segmentT = $xpdo->newObject('ecumctaSegment',array(
      'segmentname' => "Aventura"));

$segmentT->set('segmentname',"Ecoturismo");
$segmentT->save();
?>

$segmentT = $xpdo->newObject('ecumctaSegment',array(
      'segmentname' => "Aventura"));

$xpdo->getObject('ecumctaSegment');

<?php
include("xpdo.class.php");

$xpdo= new xPDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=ecuadortourism', 'root', 'exito2008','');
$xpdo->setDebug(true);
$xpdo->addPackage('ecuadormycountryta', XPDO_CORE_PATH . '_model/');   
$xpdo->getObject('ecumctaSegment');    

$segmentT = $xpdo->newObject('ecumctaSegment',array(

$segmentT->set('segmentname',"Ecoturismo");
