Custom Manager Pages in 2.3

Working with 2.3, things are a bit different. There is no "Action" form. So how would one go about creating, say BobRay's sample "cheatsheet" CMP?

I've begun by creating a couple of folders, assets/components/products and core/components/products. These I specified in the paths when creating a "products" namespace.

{Edit} Found exactly what I'm looking for! http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Custom+Manager+Pages+in+2.3

-------------------------------------
For those who may be interested, I'm creating a CMP to automatically create a heavily customized Articles container intended for handling "products" and all of their support files. The CMP will have form fields for various details about the product, such as its name and what its parent should be in the Resource Tree. There will be a main menu item "New Product", as well as a button in the dashboard.

Well, that didn't work. Gives me an error

Could not find action file at: controllers/default/index.php

Followed the sample at http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Custom+Manager+Pages+in+2.3

{Edit} well, no surprise there, welcome.class.php works a lot better than welcome.inc.php! [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 13 years, 11 months ago.]

There needs to be something said about the name of the class. For example, the sample in the documentation has

So is it necessary to have it like this, NamespaceActionManagerController? Anything else appears to just produce the WSoD. No errors, though.

And how about using the extra's lexicon in the Smarty templates?

I too am having no success building CMP's in Revo 2.3 following the rtfm guide http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/advanced-development/custom-manager-pages/custom-manager-pages-in-2.3.

If you follow exactly as it's written it does work.

1. Create Namespace mycmp
2. Create menu item My CMP
3. Create files in the correct directory structure.

Yes you're right! It does! Haha. Whoops, sorry Susan.

On a brief separate note, Have you managed to get MIGx working with the latest dev build of Modx Revo 2.3 like you mentioned here https://github.com/Bruno17/MIGX/issues/107.

I downloaded the latest build of MIGx manually uploaded it to the components folder (as it isn't in the package browser ) and installed, however when navigating to the MIGx setup upgrade page under apps there is just a blank page.

Thanks

We did get one version working some time ago, but I am not sure if it would still work at this point. I know it's been mentioned before, but I forget exactly which version it was, and if it's even available now.

The current Revo 2.3 I'm playing with doesn't even have a Components menu in the menu managment section, so I would guess that add-ons that are depending on that may have problems getting installed.

Ok, that makes sense. I think the previously mentioned and noted fix no longer stands due to further development of the MODx 2.3 core unfortunately.

Are you sure? The Components menu won't show up unless there are menu items under it.
