MODX Helpers

Functions-helpers for MODX. It's made as composer package. Depricated. See modHelpers.

Installation

• Create a plugin which loads composer files.

switch ($modx->event->name) {
    case 'OnMODXInit':
        $file = MODX_CORE_PATH . 'vendor/autoload.php';

        if (file_exists($file)) {
            require_once $file;
        }
        break;
}

• Put the composer.json to the core folder

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/sergant210/modxhelpers"
    }
  ],
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "require": {
    "sergant210/modxhelpers": "1.*"
  }
}

• Use a terminal tool and run composer install or php composer.phar install within the folder core.

That's all. Now you can use the functions.
