[MODx] Build a CMP (Custom Manager page) using MIGX in MODX 2.3--1

BIG Fuck for MODx

MODx document is not the good ... at least in my opint of view. I spend hours to search martirals to the find out what to build a CMP by using MIGX in MODX 2.3. The Officail Doument is written for 2.2, but since 2.3, it changed a lot.

OK, that's how-to does this shit ...

You can check those vedios:

1. INSTALL MIGX (Do it Yourself)

2. Create Package: Package Name: serialnumber; talbe-prefix: serialnumber

3. Go xml-schema tab:

<?XML version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8"?><Model Package= "SerialNumber"BaseClass= "Xpdoobject"Platform= "MySQL"Defaultengine= "MyISAM"Phpdoc-package= "SerialNumber"Phpdoc-subpackage= "Model"version= "1.1">  <Objectclass= "Serials"Table= "Serial"extends= "Xpdosimpleobject">    <FieldKey= "Serial_no"DbType= "varchar"Precision= "+"Phptype= "string"NULL= "false"default=""Index= "Index" />    <FieldKey= "Material_no"DbType= "varchar"Precision= "+"Phptype= "string"NULL= "false"default="" />    <FieldKey= "description"DbType= "text"Phptype= "string"NULL= "true" />    <FieldKey= "Download_count"DbType= "int"Precision= "Ten"Phptype= "integer"NULL= "false"default= "1" />    <Indexalias= "Serial_no"name= "Serial_no"Primary= "false"Unique= "false"type= "BTREE">        <columnKey= "Serial_no"length=""Collation= "A"NULL= "false" />    </Index>    <Compositealias= "Oddownloads"class= "Oddownloads"Local= "Serial_no"Foreign= "Serial_no"cardinality= "many"owner= "local" />    <Compositealias= "OdLog"class= "OdLog"Local= "Serial_no"Foreign= "Serial_no"cardinality= "many"owner= "local" />    <Compositealias= "Odfiles"class= "Odfiles"Local= "Serial_no"Foreign= "Serial_no"cardinality= "many"owner= "local" />  </Object></Model>

4. Go "Parse Schema" tab and click "Parse Schema" button.

5. Go "Create Tables" tab and click "Create Tables" button.

6. You can now check the things, make sure everything wokrs fine:

• Go to phpMyAdmin, find your table ' serialnumberserial '
• Go to "Files"--"core"--"compoments"--"serialnumber"--"model"

You'll see the like this:

7. In "MIGX Management"--"MIGX" tab--click "ADD Item":

8. In "Settings" tab, add following information.

• Name:serialnumber
• "Add Item" Replacement: "Add a Serial"
• Unique MIGX Id:serilanumber (remember this, later would use)

9. Go to "cmp-settings" tab, add following informations:

Go to "Migxdb-settings", add following informaiton:

Because when we create the ' package ' in step 2, we cadd the custom prefix ' serialnumber ', so here's also need to add it.

You should is able to the find those information in step 3.

Click "Done", save the changes. Then you'll see:

You might has different number, but anymore, the changes is saved.

Go to "System"--"menu":

Click the "Create Menu" button.

Fill in the following information:

You can leave the "Parent" field behind for now.

"Parameters": "SerialNumber" is a unique MIGXID you set in step 8.

Can drag & drop the menu just created to anywhere you want, for example:i put it under ' Extras '

Refresh the webpage, on the top menu, under ' Extras ', you'll see:

Click "SerialNumber", Nav to the CMP.

Okokok, mother Fucker!!! This is the first step (important) of want to achieve for CMP.
