Creating a toolbar for your component
From Joomla! Documentation
Note: This applies when using the MVC structure.
By default the Joomla Toolbar uses a Delete, Edit, New, Publish, Unpublish and Parameters buttons. To use them in your component you must write the following code in the view.html.php of your view file (below your display function).
JToolBarHelper::title( your_component_view_page_title, 'generic.png' ); JToolBarHelper::deleteList(); JToolBarHelper::editListX(); JToolBarHelper::addNewX(); JToolBarHelper::publishList(); JToolBarHelper::unpublishList(); JToolBarHelper::preferences('your_component_xml_file', height);
So (i.e.) your code would look like this:
class HelloViewHellos extends JView { function display($tpl = null) { global $mainframe, $option; JToolBarHelper::title( 'Hello Component', 'generic.png' ); JToolBarHelper::deleteList(); JToolBarHelper::editListX(); JToolBarHelper::addNewX(); JToolBarHelper::publishList(); JToolBarHelper::unpublishList(); JToolBarHelper::preferences('com_hello', '500');
I will add more info as soon as possible. Meanwhile use the forum for more answers for your questions.
