Go to System -> System Settings and create new settings.
Hmm, Thanks sottwell. I think I'm getting confused here. The tutorial is outlining how to develop an Extra outside of Modx.
So do I have to have an installation of Modx set up in the same root as the Extra I'm developing?

The include statement for MODX in your code is relative, so it's looking for MODX under the doodles directory.
I think you kind of have it backwards, the doodles directory should be under the MODX directory. I'm guessing the doodles directory would go under:
modx/core/components/
but I haven't looked at the Doodles tutorial lately and I could be wrong.
You might also look at the MyComponent Extra, which you can install in MODX using Package Manager. Once you edit the config file, it will handle the creation of the directories for you and put them in the right places.

Doodles is done outside of the MODx installation, that's why the system settings for doodles.core_path and doodles.assets_url. I've worked through it a couple of times in a MAMP environment, with MODx and Doodles in separate subdirectories, i.e. htdocs/doodles/ and htdocs/revo/.
In your Doodles folder, you have to have a core.config.php file with the proper path to your MODx core so that your Doodles can access MODx.

Hi all,
I know this post is from about a year ago but I'm having the exact same problem (I am on the windows version of XAMPP). The tutorial doesn't mention a core.config.php file, instead it uses build.config.php within the addon "_build" directory.
I've gone through the code and I don't see anything obvious as to why it wouldn't work from a layman's perspective.
The entire error message I'm getting when attempting to load "
http://localhost/doodles/_build/build.schema.php" is:
Warning: include_once(/www/modx/core/model/modx/modx.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\doodles\_build\build.schema.php on line 3
Warning: include_once(): Failed opening '/www/modx/core/model/modx/modx.class.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\doodles\_build\build.schema.php on line 3
Fatal error: Class 'modX' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\doodles\_build\build.schema.php on line 4
If anyone has any insight as to why this doesn't work I'd be very appreciative!
Here's the link to the tutorial:

Thanks in advance,

As you warning says: you've to fix your path to modx Class.
No such file or directory means that system can't find this file! Maybe your path is wrong
Running Setup should straighten out the paths for you. If not, check the MODX_CORE_PATH setting in the config.core.php file in the root (and the ones in the connectors/ and /manager folders.
Also, check the paths and URLs in the core/config/config.inc.php file.
Or, you could use this to do the checks for you:

Thanks very much guys.
I've checked all my paths. The files are in the correct places.
It is a fresh install of the latest modx in www/modx and the extra files are in www/doodles. I copied and pasted all the code from the tutorial just to make sure I hadn't made a typo.
The modx.class.php file is in the exact place the error msg says it is not.
I haven't gone through your site check tutorial yet but will do so now.
(BTW Bob, I bought your book. It's fantastic!)
