Working example of making an extra for 2.2.9

Followed the tutorial on making a modx extra, not working for me
Used github files from doodles and modextra , not working for me


Downloaded all files for modExtra from github

https://github.com/splittingred/modExtra

renam_it.ch configured like so:

repl1=modShop
repl2=modshop

find1=modExtra
find2=modextra
path=./modExtra


Making the tables with build.shema.php okay, making package with transport.php okay, installation okay, till now all works fine but when opening the CMP it gives a fatal error.

Fatal error: Class 'modShopBaseManagerController' not found in /home/XXXX/domains/XXXX.nl/public_html/core/components/modshop/index.class.php on line 26

I tried several times renaming it to other names but with no luck.

Any body got any idea of why my new named extra cmp fails?

Thnx!

I don't think those examples are the best ones to follow. I might be inviting a flame war, but the way that those extras are developed is needlessly complex in my opinion. I find it *insane* to abstract abstractions within abstractions like that. I would start with a simple index.php page for your CMP controllers -- I have yet to find a need (or decent docs) for writing those manager controller functions.

You also might want to try using MIGXdb for this... http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/migxdb/migxdb.tutorials/migxdb.create-doodles-manager-with-help-of-MIGXdb

modExtra is fairly old and I don't think it's been updated in a year or two. It may well not work in 2.2.9.

You might take a look at MyComponent, which is more up to date.

As far as your specific issue, the message is telling you that a class with that name isn't declared in core/components/modshop/index.class.php or any of the files it includes. It may be enough just to edit that index.php file and "require" the class file in it.
