Application creators: frequently asked questions #

Short answers with the page that explains each one.

My new class is not found #

Regenerate the autoloads (php bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php -e) and restart Velocity's workers (Autoloads and class naming).

My change works under Apache but not on Velocity #

Workers keep classes and settings in memory: ./console exp:velocity deploy (Deploying with Velocity).

My view says "access denied" #

The user lacks a function listed in the view's functions; add the policy to a role (Policy functions and limitations).

My form post gets a 403 #

The form token is missing: post from a template-rendered form with method="post", or send the token from your script (Forms, CSRF protection and HTTP input).

My setting is ignored #

Another file wins: ./console exp:ini where <file>/<block>/<key> <siteaccess>, then clear --clear-tag=ini (Settings and INI files).

My new template is not used #

Clear template-override and template; check the override rule with template path comments (Template overrides).

How do I return JSON? #

An ezjscore server function, or the REST API for other programs (JSON endpoints with ezjscore).

My cronjob script is not found #

The extension is active only in some siteaccesses: run with -s <siteaccess>, and check ExtensionDirectories[] in cronjob.ini (Cronjobs for applications).

Where does slow work go? #

A queue job, a cron part or a content job (Background work).

How do I test without a database? #

Keep logic in plain classes and test them with PHPUnit (DB-less PHPUnit tests).

Where do I ask or report? #

The help's Report an error page and When something goes wrong; the community places are on Who is the Exponential Foundation?.
