Magento : I Can Not Find Local Code Pool

Question

I am trying to create a new module using this tutorial http://www.codexpedia.com/magento/create-read-update-and-delete-with-magento-database/

But in the second step we have to go to local folder but I cannot find local folder. It only has core and community.

This is what it says:

anuja@anuja-VirtualBox:/var/www/html/magento/app/code$ cd /var/www/html/magento/app/code/
anuja@anuja-VirtualBox:/var/www/html/magento/app/code$ ls
community core

What should I do?

Answer 1

Create a local folder in app/code folder with community and core folder

And then create the path using Folder as told in module. It does not matter if you are using a windows or Linux(Ubuntu), Folder structure and create folder options will remain same.

If you want to know how to create folder through file Browser And command line in Linux then please follow this:

Using The File Browser

• Step 1 Navigate to the location where you want to make a new folder(in this case Inside folder app/code/). You can make a new folder inside an existing folder on the hard drive.

• Step 2 Right-click the mouse and select "Create Folder." A new folder icon appears with the default folder name highlighted.

• Step 3 Type a new name(in this case local) for the folder and press "Enter" to save the name.

Using The Terminal

• Step 1 Open the Ubuntu terminal by clicking "Applications," then clicking "Accessories" and selecting "Terminal."

• Step 2 Type sudo mkdir app/code/local in the terminal. The "mkdir" command creates a new folder in the location you specify after the command. Replace "app/design/local" with the location where you want to create the folder. If you want to create a folder on the desktop, the location is "home/user/Desktop/newFolder," where "user" is your username and "newFolder" is the name of the folder you are creating.

• Step 3 Press "Enter" to create the folder.

Hope this will help :)
