Create a module

When you want to create a new module, there are several steps you must follow.

Let’s say you want to create a Manager module. These are the steps:

• create the folders/file where the MVC files will be stored:
  • folder controller/manager(C), DotKernel/manager(MV)
  • file controller/IndexController.php – is the Front Controller of the module
• create the folders/files related to the View – User Interface
  • templates/manager
  • templates/css/manager
  • templates/js/manager
• create the configuration folder
  • configs/manager
• add the line: resources.modules.manager = manager in configs/application.ini
• enter the appropriate values in configs/resources.xml

Download this file: Sample Module: manager and read the readme.txt to install this module in your DotKernel application.
