Automatically create a file set?

Permalink
Hi,

I'm developing a new theme, is there a way I can make the theme automatically create a file set with the name 'Background Image' when it is installed?
Obviously it should check if that set exists first then create it if necessary.

Thanks in advance :)

According to
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/files/grouping-fi...
you can create a fileset with :
$fs = FileSet::createAndGetSet($name, $type, $uID = false)
Creates a new file set if set doesn't exist. Type may be one of the following
   FileSet::TYPE_PRIVATE
   FileSet::TYPE_PUBLIC
   FileSet::TYPE_STARRED


You can by example use this in your install() function of your controller.php package.

Is it sufficient to add it in the controllers install function like this:

public function install() {
$pkg = parent::install();
$fs = FileSet::createAndGetSet('Background Image', FileSet::TYPE_PUBLIC, $uID = false);
PageTheme::add('street', $pkg);
}

Yes, should be ok from a package controller as you have described.

As always, best to test it to make sure.

Tried to install it on a test site in WAMP and got this error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Class 'FileSet' not found in C:\wamp\www\street_theme\packages\street\controller.php on line 21

Here's my controller.php:
<?php   
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
class StreetPackage extends Package {
   protected $pkgHandle = 'street';
   protected $appVersionRequired = '5.5.2';
   protected $pkgVersion = '0.93';
   public function getPackageDescription() {
      return t("Installs Street theme.");
   }
   public function getPackageName() {
      return t("Street Theme");
   }
   public function install() {
      $pkg = parent::install();
      $fs = FileSet::createAndGetSet('Background Image', FileSet::TYPE_PUBLIC, $uID = false);

It may be that the model is not loaded automatically at this stage.
Try
Loader::model('file_set');
