Creating an empty module
As we did in the previous chapter and fully explained in Chapter 4, Creating a Module, we will create the required files to create an empty module that we will extend with widget configurations in further chapters. We will start with an empty Magento module that we will create in this recipe. We will create all the required files to initialize a new module that can be used for the creation of a widget.
Getting ready
We will create new module called Packt_ProductSlider. Open your IDE to add some code to it.
How to do it...
Using the following steps, we will create an empty module called Packt_ProductSlider:
Create the following folders in your Magento root:
app/code/Packt/app/code/Packt/ProductSlider/app/code/Packt/ProductSlider/etc/
In the
app/code/Packt/ProductSlider/etc/folder, create a file calledmodule.xml.In this file, paste the following code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configxmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation...
