Adding helpers in server

[r0b78]

I was trying to add the search module to my app. I add the module, add the endpoint but when i do the request says missing Class \Helpers\Search

where is the helpler/search.php file need to be placed in directus ?

In the helpers/functions.php is the script to auto load the helper files. You can include this file in your project config file.

Hi,

Sorry I'm newbie in Directus and I've the same issue to start with this extension pack.

I'm using docker env and the workspace is ready with your extensions but I don't find how to call helpers/functions.php with my settings (only one project set by docker-compose, init sql script is in charge of the app init).

If you can drive me on the good track it will help!

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day.

Ideally, the helpers/functions.php file is imported in the hooks files, but if you are not using any hooks, include helpers/functions.php in your project configuration file.

I am not fully versed in docker, but you should be able to include the file once.

Let me know how that goes.

Hi Philleep, Thanks for your feedback. As you can see in the support slack channel, I had an issue on office365 SMTP interco. This blocked the login step due to the exception of the extension hooks/request/hooks.php (l. 35). I used as workarround gmail and it's ok for the login step but no change in the GUI and no notification (?). To check the settings, I added the email notification hook example provided by Directus (as simple test), but stil no notification. So I'll check why hooks are not working as expected. My feeling is I'm missed something in my conf to load properly the extension(s). I let you know when I've consistent news ^^ and Thanks again for the support =)

Hi, Good news, it's fixed on Dockerfile side. To do it massively with this extension pack (useful for testing purpose as It's not elegant with two loops due to the constrainst on the source path of the directus-extension tools... but it works ^^)
