Creating a package from scratch
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I'm working at creating a package from scratch, but not having much luck. I've read through a few different tutorials online as to how to do this, but not having a ton of luck... Mine never seems to show up on the Add Functionality page in the Dashboard.
What are the minimum requirements that C5 needs to add the package to the list of those available to install?

That's great, and I definitely appreciate the help, but those are both for creating blocks. I'm interested in creating a package, and need the skeleton for doing that.
Do you mean this as packages ? Because if it is than the word package, and block are synonymous.

Download a simple add-on fron the marketplace and take a good look at its code.
Look at single db file, it controller etc.
It can be a bit confusing at first but once you get your first haha! moment you will realize how easy a simple package can be created.

Yeah, I've given that a try, however there seems to be something wrong with my editor. I FTP a package to the /packages directory, and it shows up for install. If I edit the package description in the controller.php, and re-upload it, it won't show up for install? Is utf-8 the wrong encoding? Its what cpanel identifies the enoding in the original file as.
