Magento 2 sample module

[nmohanswe]

Hi

I have created the new module under app/code with the following structure. But I can't see the module name in backend under 'Advanced' tab.

app/code/Dckap/Welcome/etc/module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <module name="Dckap_Welcome" schema_version="0.0.1" active="true">
        <sequence>
            <module name="Magento_Core"/>
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>

Thanks
Mohan N

Check out - https://github.com/coldgreentea/m2extension a few of our developers threw this together to show how you'd update the config, composer files and use the installer tool to get a new module to be detected & installed by the system.

I believe you need to edit the app/etc/config.php , the composer.json file and run the installer tool to get the new module to be detected.

You can give this a try: https://github.com/tzyganu/Magento2SampleModule. It's something I put up last week. You also have an explanation on how to install. https://github.com/tzyganu/Magento2SampleModule#install

@nmohanswe I tried the sample module that @tzyganu provided -- it works.

Here are 2 ways to make it appear in your system:

For a fresh install:

1. Copy it into app/code directory
2. Install Magento system via CLI installer or Web Wizard
3. You can observe the module in the module list (app/etc/config.php), as well as in the Admin -> Stores -> Configuration -> Advanced -- it happens to be the last item in the list.

For an existing Magento instance:

1. Copy it into app/code directory
2. Edit app/etc/config.php and add the module to the list (see 'modules' section)
3. Run upgrade through Setup CLI:

cd setup
php -f index.php update

Observe the 'Sample_News' at the end of list
