1. The snippets base on the code in the following thread in MODX forum https://forums.modx.com/thread/32560/formit2db-with-autocreate-schema-classes ↩

2. If the xPDO package is autocreated, the classname in the package is generated by MODX and could be different to a classname set by parameter. If you disable the autoPackage parameter later, please look which classname was generated and change the parameter to that value. ↩↩
