Moving the development directory

This example shows how to move ZoomX controllers, plugins, snippets and templates into core/elements/zoomx/.

Adding custom controllers

In core/config/ create elements.php and add:

elements.php

<?php
zoomx()->getLoader()->addPsr4('App\\Controllers\\', MODX_CORE_PATH . 'elements/zoomx/controllers/');

Add a new controller HelloController as an example.

In core/elements/zoomx/controllers/ create HelloController.php with:

HelloController.php

<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use Zoomx\Controllers;

class HelloController extends \Zoomx\Controllers\Controller {
  public function hello() {
    zoomx()->autoloadResource(false);

    $site_name = $this->modx->getObject('modSystemSetting', ['key' => 'site_name']);
    return "hello {$site_name->get('value')}!";
  }
}

Open core/config/routes.php and add the route:

router.php

// ---
$router->get('api/test', ['\App\Controllers\HelloController', 'hello']);
// ---

Opening https://site_name/api/test will then return the server response.

Moving plugins, snippets and templates

In core/elements/zoomx/ create folders templates, snippets, plugins.

Copy the contents of core/components/zoomx/templates/ to core/elements/zoomx/templates/.

Open system settings in the site Manager and set:

Key	Value
zoomx_file_snippets_path	{core_path}elements/zoomx/snippets/
zoomx_smarty_custom_plugin_dir	{core_path}elements/zoomx/plugins/
zoomx_template_dir	{core_path}elements/zoomx/templates/
