A customer eager to explore the Extension Generator encountered an issue: "I wanted to give the Extension Generator a try, but the form always fails, saying a backend controller is required. I've tried different entries, but they all fail the same way. Is there documentation explaining what the fields on that form mean?"
The customer needed clear guidance to understand the form fields and resolve the backend controller error, enabling them to effectively use the tool.
The osCommerce support team promptly clarified the steps to use the Extension Generator successfully:
- If no backend controller is needed: Simply leave the Has backend controller checkbox unchecked to generate a sample extension without a backend controller.
- If a backend controller is required: Check the Has backend controller checkbox and replace the placeholder Backend Controller with the desired name for the controller.
With the guidance, customers can generate their first extension using the tool, either with or without a backend controller, depending on their requirements. This unlocks new possibilities for customizing their osCommerce store.
