Hi,

i got a fresh (MODX Revolution 2.2.9-pl (traditional) installation and added Formit 2.2.0 and Formit2db 1.1.0 via MODX's package manager.
My barebone code looks like this:

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`formit2db`
&preHooks=`db2formit`
&prefix=`modx_custom_`
&packageName=`endlich`
&tablename=`endlich`
]]
 
<h2>Resource Form</h2>
<p>[[+fi.error.error_message]]</p>
<form class="form" action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post">
    <label for="name">
        Rennklasse:
        <span class="error">[[+fi.error.name]]</span>
    </label>

    <input id="name" name="name" type="text" value="[[+fi.name]]" />
<div class="form-buttons">
        <input type="submit" value="Save" />
    </div>
</form>

Prior runnig this code i created the mysql table

mysql> create table modx_custom_endlich (id integer auto_increment, name varchar(50), primary key (id));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)

When i try to submit the form i get the following error:

Failed to create object of type:

MODX's error log says:

[2013-09-19 15:24:37] (ERROR @ /modx-2.2.9-pl/index.php) addPackage called with an invalid package name.
[2013-09-19 15:24:37] (ERROR @ /modx-2.2.9-pl/index.php) addPackage called with an invalid package name.
[2013-09-19 15:24:37] (ERROR @ /modx-2.2.9-pl/index.php) No class specified for loadClass

Somewhere i read that it's not packageName but packagename. If i run it with packagename the error log says:

[2013-09-19 15:25:26] (ERROR @ /modx-2.2.9-pl/index.php) Path specified for package endlich is not a valid or accessible directory: /var/www/modx-2.2.9-pl/core/components/endlich/model/
[2013-09-19 15:25:26] (ERROR @ /modx-2.2.9-pl/index.php) Path specified for package endlich is not a valid or accessible directory: /var/www/modx-2.2.9-pl/core/components/endlich/model/
[2013-09-19 15:25:26] (ERROR @ /modx-2.2.9-pl/index.php) No class specified for loadClass

As far as i unterstood everything i though that formit2db creates the necessary folders etc.
The directory /var/www/modx-2.2.9-pl/core is completley writeable for everyone (chmod 777).
What am i doing wrong?

Im not sure if formit still needs to send an email but my call looks like this and havent had any problems. this is from a 2.2.8pl install and i havent tried it on 2.2.9. It might be worth trying to get formit to work and submit the email first then add in the formit to DB

Hope it helps.

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`email,formit2db,redirect`
&emailSubject=`Fast Question`
&preHooks=`db2formit`
&prefix=`cont_`
&packageName=`contact_fast`
&tablename=`fast_form`
&emailTpl=`FastQuestionResult`
&emailTo=`[email protected]    	    
&redirectTo=`341`
&submitVar=`fastqsub`
]]

The MODX formit2db/db2formit package manager extra does not autocreate packages/classes (xPDO models), which could be created by MIGX or CMPGenerator.
