I created an extension for Magento on Magento 2 1.0.0 beta. Now I'm trying to get this extension working for Magento 2 RC, but I can't figure it out. What I have is a very simple extension that creates a block show I can show all my categories in the sidebar (regardless of what category I'm viewing). The extension did work perfect on Magento 1.0.0 beta, but now gives this error: Invalid block type: \SL\Sidebar\Block\Sidebar. The extension is installed correctly. This is the code of my block:
namespace SL\Sidebar\Block;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template;
class Sidebar extends Template {
/**
* @var \Magento\Catalog\Helper\Category
*/
protected $_categoryHelper;
/**
* @var \Magento\Framework\Registry
*/
protected $_coreRegistry;
/**
* @var \Magento\Catalog\Model\Indexer\Category\Flat\State
*/
protected $categoryFlatConfig;
/**
* @param Template\Context $context
* @param \Magento\Catalog\Helper\Category $categoryHelper
* @param \Magento\Framework\Registry $registry
* @param \Magento\Catalog\Model\Indexer\Category\Flat\State $categoryFlatState
*/
public function __construct(
\Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context,
\Magento\Catalog\Helper\Category $categoryHelper,
\Magento\Framework\Registry $registry,
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Indexer\Category\Flat\State $categoryFlatState,
$data = []
) {
$this->_categoryHelper = $categoryHelper;
$this->_coreRegistry = $registry;
$this->categoryFlatConfig = $categoryFlatState;
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
/**
* Get all categories
*
* @return array|\Magento\Catalog\Model\Resource\Category\Collection|\Magento\Framework\Data\Tree\Node\Collection
*/
public function getCategories()
{
return $this->_categoryHelper->getStoreCategories();
}
}
Then in my theme I load the block like this:
<block class="SL\Sidebar\Block\Sidebar" name="category-sidebar" template="Magento_Theme::html/sidebar.phtml" />
Registration.php:
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
'SL_Sidebar',
__DIR__
);
The extension did work perfect on Magento 1.0.0 beta. Does anyone know the problem here?
