Joomla Component Template
As I have developed a good number of Joomla based sites here over the last few years, one of the things I often utilized was my Base Joomla Component Template. I’ve had this laying around for a while and figured it was time to release them to the world. I should have done this a long time ago. I just never really had the time or the platform to do so.
In all honesty, I’m a little behind the curve as the next iteration of Joomla is about to be released. By this I mean Joomla 1.5. I believe this install file will still work with this version but as of this posting, I am not certain. I imagine I will take a look at this fairly soon. So without further ado, grab the files here.
To use this, simply extract the archive and perform the following:
- Rename the files to your liking. I have placed a "xxx" everywhere in the file names where you would want to do this. A great tool for renaming files can be found at http://www.den4b.com/downloads.php?project=ReNamer.
- Open up every *.php file and replace "xxx" with the lower-case version of your component’s nomenclature.
- Open up every *.php file and replace "XXX" with the upper-case version of your component’s nomenclature. This is only utilized by the language functionality of the component.
- Open up the .xml file and edit it to your liking. More specifically, you will want to alter the following fields:
- name
- creationDate
- author
- authorEmail
- authorUrl
- description
Once you’ve edited the files, rearchive them and install via the back-end of your Joomla web-site.
As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome!
