Extension & module generator

Thursday 10 August 2006 5:30:20 am

Hello,
I've made a basic extension & module generator:

http://xl714.info/index.php?/blog_site/scripts/ez_extension_builder

I will work on it a lot more and then put it as a contribution.
But maybe it could already be useful for some people (it is for me).
Or you can tell me what's wrong or what could be better.
Bye
Xavier Langlois

Hello,
Thanks for your comment, it gave me more motivation to continue.

<i>... if you also want an svn account on pubsvn.ez.no, let me know</i>
Yes please. I havn't had the time to see how it's working but I'd like to have a look and see if it will be usefull. ( My email : xavier[dot]langlois[@]gmail[dot]com )

Hi Xavier,

I have been thinking about a module like this, but never gotten around to making it. Kudos for doing so :-)

Here is some motivation for you: I think this is something that would be cool to include as Rapid Application Development (RAD) in the admin interface. I am however not the one deciding what goes into ezp....

I noticed that you cannot make the module in the extension optional. You can have extensions with just a design in them (we do this for customer projects).

Hi Xavier,

it's a great idea to make such an extension like this :-).
But it's very complex. Do you have a developing plan?
...
It would be great to have this as an in build feature of eZ.
May be i can help you with development???

I had a short look to your sourcecode ... you did more work as you needed :-(
You wrote functions to delete a dir ...
EZ has this functionaltiy in different libaries :-)
Have a look to

include_once( 'lib/ezfile/classes/ezdir.php' ); 

e.g.

eZDir:recursiveDelete( $dir );

=====
To have access to post and getvariable you should use the eZ build in functions:
e.g.

$http =& eZHTTPTool::instance();

if( $http->hasVariable('testvar') )
	$test = $http->Variable('testvar');

=====

To have access to parameter you send to the module you should use something like this
you set this in the module.php (params, unordered_params)

$Module =& $Params["Module"];

if( isSet($Params['NodeId']) )
	$NodeId = $Params['NodeId'];

=====

You can learn a lot from the conent module of ez.
Have a look to
kernel/content/module.php

====
May be this help you a little bit to improve your php code.

Best Regards
Felix Woldt

I installed <b>Extension manager 0.3</b> on <b>eZ Publish 3.9.2.</b>

I created a extension with it.

extension:    my_new_extension
module(s):    my_new_module
view(s):      view_1

I activated it and cleared all cache.

When I want to see the result by browsering

http://www.mydomain.com/my_new_module/view_1

,
the result is same as homepage.

How could I see the result of the sample extension?

Thanks!

I try:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?/chi/my_new_module/view_1

It works!

I try:

http://www.mydomain.com/non_existing_module/azerty

It displays homepage without error messages.

I try:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?/chi/non_existing_module/azerty

It displays an error message page:

Error / kernel (20)
Module not found
System can't find module on_existing_moduleB
Possible reasons:

Thanks! <b>Xavier</b>
