Hi, yes, some type of dependency management is a must for the OXID module system! As a workaround, we have started a simple module managing dependencies ("smx_module_deps"), at the moment you can only add other module ids which your module depends on, e.g. in metadata.php you can add: *

Hi Roman, I can provide you with our own "module connector" though we like to call it framework. Don't let the name fool you, its basically a lightweight class that does what OXID can't: Bring streamlined OOP to modules. In our view the metadata files are really a bad design decision. The sy

I really don't like the use of an connector but some of my team-member argument that it's good to put all reusable extensions in one connector-module instead of putting them in every module, that we are developing. My argument against a connector is the problem with the dependencies while an up

Hi, same for me: I also don't like them. If you have dependencies between modules go for composer or something the like. Best would be if OXID could come up with an extension in the metadata.php in which you could tell "this module is based on that other module". Best regards Joscha //---

Hey! I don’t like such additional connector modules. They have their own bugs and generating system-wide errors, mostly. Especially when the module has an own style and/or database tables far from oxid. I had scenarios within a customer tried to remove a connectors modul and gets a lot of tro

Hi folks, me and my team are developing a concept for us, how to develop modules for oxid. We are now at the point where we have to decide to develope a connector-module for all our coming modules or not. We know that some agecies use their own connector to integrate their modules in oxid. A
