Question

If there’s something that everybody hates about Magento it’s endlessly configuring your modules before being able to write some code. I’m trying to collect a list of common Magento configuration errors for a future project that’s I’m close to launching.

I’m looking for specific examples of things like using the wrong naming convention on classnames, forgetting the <class /> wrapper when setting up grouped class names. Little things like that that drive you batty for hours until you realize your error.

The more details the better!

Answer 1

in /app/etc/module/your_Module.xml camelcase codePool otherwise will fail

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Your_Module>
            <!-- <codepool>local</codepool> this will fail silently-->
            <codePool>local</codePool>
            <active>true</active>
        </Omx_Hooks>
    </modules>
</config>
