Package building - resolver - associate resources to templates, grouping resources

I'm running Revo 2.2.4 and MyComponent 1.0.0 beta1

I packaged some chunks, snippets and templates with the very useful mycomponents scriptset but two things in the resolver I cannot figure out (I'm new to XPDO):

setting parents for resources
attaching the new resources with the new templates

The parents:
I have 4 resources:
One of it is an empty container called 'css',
and three resources of type text/css that shall be installed as the children 'style', 'smallscreen' and 'bigscreen'.

The templates:
These css-resources shall get a template attached to them.

In a resolver (e.g.

mycomponents/PKG_NAME/_build/resolvers/install.script.php

) in the section beginning with

case xPDOTransport::ACTION_INSTALL:

how would I do it?

You need something like this:

<?php
$parentResource = $modx->getObject('modResource', array('pagetitle' => 'something'));

$childResource = $modx->getObject('modResource', array('pagetitle' => 'somethingelse'));

$template = $modx->getObject('modTemplate', array('templatename' => 'something'));
if ($template) {
   $templateId = $template->get('id');
} else {
    $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Error getting template');
}

if ($parentResource && $childResource) {

    $parentId = $parentResource->get('id');
    $childResource->set('parent', $parentId);
    $childResource->set('template', $templateId);
    $childResource->save();

} else {
    $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Error getting resources');
}

Thank you very much!
But I had no luck with with the getObject()-call on modResource (and even modPropertySet) neither with 'pagetitle' nor 'alias'. The resources and everything else were all transported properly and criteria string-values are correct and in correct case.
This is the code:

[...]
    case xPDOTransport::ACTION_INSTALL:
//$modx->reloadContext('web');
        $parentResource = $modx->getObject('modResource', array('pagetitle' => 'css'), false);
        if ($parentResource) {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Retrieved css');
        } else {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Could not get css');
        }
        $childResource = $modx->getObject('modResource', array('pagetitle' => 'style'), false);
        if ($childResource) {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Retrieved style');
        } else {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Could not get style');
        }
        $template = $modx->getObject('modTemplate', array('templatename' => 'automatCSSTemplate'), false);
        if ($template) {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Retrieved automatCSSTemplate');
        } else {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Could not get automatCSSTemplate');
        }
        if ($template) {
            $templateId = $template->get('id');
        } else {
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Error getting template');
        }
        if ($parentResource && $childResource){
            $parentId = $parentResource->get('id');
            $childResource->set('parent', $parentId);
            $childResource->set('template', $templateId);
            $childResource->save();
        } else{
            $modx->log(MODX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Error getting resources');
        }
[...]

The following is what I got:

/*
* MODX Console Output

Finding the issue in an older post of yours here
https://forums.modx.com/thread/73277/getobject-in-script-resolver-no-longer-works?page=2#dis-post-431332 pointed me to inserting the

reloadContext('web');

with no luck. The installer-window was just empty but let me proceed. But it did not work. No entries in core/cache/logs files were added.
I haven't found this method is member of the XPDO class.
Did I put it in the wrong location? (call is commented out in the above code)
I too disabled the global modx-cache and still no luck.
Pointed to the cache I found the third parameter of getObject() being a cache-flag (found here: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/xPDO20/xPDO.getObject) and set it still with no luck.

I made two new clean modx-installs to also check with 777 file-permissions.
I'm on openSUSE 12.1 and so it is not an XAMPP issue. [ed. note: webknot last edited this post 14 years, 2 months ago.]

I've had that problem on and off for while. The most likely issue is that the resolvers actually run in the order they are added to the package (I used to think they ran after the installation is finished and it says that -- incorrectly -- in my book).

That means you need to make sure you add the resources in the build script before you add the resolver that gets them. The next version of MyComponent will add the resources at the top of the build script.

The reloadContext() call is in the right place (anywhere before the getObject() call is fine), and you may still need it (but probably not).

On occasion, I've set the resource parent to 0 and put the code to set the parent into a some snippet in the package rather than the resolver and had the code run the first time the snippet is called, but I don't think that's necessary any more.

The current version of my build scripts has this code near the top:

/* Transport Resources */

if ($hasResources) {
    $resources = include $sources['data'] . 'transport.resources.php';
    if (!is_array($resources)) {
        $modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Could not package in resources.');
    } else {
        $attributes = array(
            xPDOTransport::PRESERVE_KEYS => false,
            xPDOTransport::UPDATE_OBJECT => false,
            xPDOTransport::UNIQUE_KEY => 'pagetitle',
            xPDOTransport::RELATED_OBJECTS => true,
            xPDOTransport::RELATED_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES => array(
                'ContentType' => array(
                    xPDOTransport::PRESERVE_KEYS => false,
                    xPDOTransport::UPDATE_OBJECT => true,
                    xPDOTransport::UNIQUE_KEY => 'name',
                ),
            ),
        );
        foreach ($resources as $resource) {
            $vehicle = $builder->createVehicle($resource, $attributes);
            $builder->putVehicle($vehicle);
        }
        $modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_INFO, 'Packaged in ' . count($resources) . ' resources.');
    }
    unset($resources, $resource, $attributes);
}

That's it!
I moved it to a point near the top (right after the category is created) and everything is working.
Relieved and happy!
You made my day!

Yes, but I wrecked some of your days first by not doing things right in MyComponent. wink

I'm glad you got it sorted.
