Unable to create a module

[Eromera]

Hi again, I believe the problem is related to an incompatibility with Windows, I believe all paths in your php code have slashes in the unix-way so folder creation fails. Am I right? If so, do you think it would be easy making all windows compatible?

Effectively the problem is due to compatibility in the slashes, but apparently it's not needed to change all slashes in module.py to make it work, just this function in functions.php and php makes it work for the rest:

function getDolibarrRootDirectory()
{
	$path = defined(__DIR__) ? __DIR__ : dirname(__FILE__); // should be: .../dolibarr/dolibase/builder/lib
	$parts = explode('\\', $path);
	array_splice($parts, -3); // remove '/dolibase/builder/lib'
	$root_path = implode('\\', $parts);

	return $root_path;
}

I think the warning should be fixed on version 2.9.8.
For the widget/page tutorials, not yet, but it's a pretty cool idea, i guess that a video series about how to code a module from scratch using all dolibase features would be much better, otherwise you can try playing with the left panel & testing the builder features by yourself if you want.

Edit: you will find here a video about widget creation.

Can you check if it works now? (using github version)

In fact, the problem was more exactly on this line
https://github.com/AXeL-dev/dolibase/blob/78da77897b023699af9230ec9020c163b8a5dc7b/builder/lib/functions.php#L108

Because / directory separator works fine on windows too when using PHP, the only matter was that on windows the $path variable value will be something like: C:\wamp\www\dolibarr\dolibase\builder with backslashes & on linux : /opt/lamp/htdocs/dolibarr/dolibase/builder with simple slashes, so since the explode function was using only simple slashes / to separate the path parts, it simply fails on windows.

Now, it should work properly on both windows & linux.

Thanks, how can I work directly with the github version? Can I just download the github to the dolibarr folder and do git pulls there for this module? Or how do you normally work with it?

[AXeL-dev]

Welcome, i already updated the Dolibase installer, so you can simply update the module & after that disable + re-enable it (to refresh the dolibase framework files).

Solution 2 (using github version): download dolibase zip file from here then delete your old dolibase folder from your dolibarr root directory (it should be in /dolibarr/dolibase or /dolibarr/htdocs/dolibase) & finally replace it with the extracted one from the master.zip file.

Thanks! It seems to work now. However I keep getting a warning when I select any "Page" item on the left:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\dolibarr\www\dolibarr\htdocs\dolibase\builder\lib\functions.php on line 185
Is this the expected behaviour?

Additionally, do you have some quick tutorial/video about how to use the left panel (e.g. widgets / page) to create a module? Thanks!
