Indroduction
This tutorial is part of the Developing a Model-View-Controller (MVC) Component for Joomla!1.6 tutorial. You are encouraged to read the previous parts of the tutorial before reading this.
In the Joomla!1.6 framework, components are executed using menu items. If you go in the menu manager of your Joomla!1.6 installation, there does not yet exist a HelloWorld menu type. Adding this functionnality is easy in Joomla. Simply put a site/views/helloworld/tmpl/default.xml file containing:
site/views/helloworld/tmpl/default.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <metadata> <layout title="com_helloworld_HelloWorld_View_Default_Title"> <message>com_helloworld_HelloWorld_View_Default_Desc</message> </layout> </metadata>
For the moment the strings won't be translated in the administrator interface. We will see in a next article how translation is provided.
Also modify your helloworld.xml file to indicate a new version:
helloworld.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <extension type="component" version="1.6.0" method="upgrade"> <name>Hello World!</name> <creationDate>November 2009</creationDate> <author>John Doe</author> <authorEmail>john.doe@example.org</authorEmail> <authorUrl>http://www.example.org</authorUrl> <copyright>Copyright Info</copyright> <license>License Info</license> <version>0.0.3</version> <description>Description of the Hello World component ...</description> <files folder="site"> <filename>index.html</filename> <filename>helloworld.php</filename> <filename>controller.php</filename> <folder>views</folder> </files> <administration> <menu>Hello World!</menu> <files folder="admin"> <filename>index.html</filename> <filename>helloworld.php</filename> </files> </administration> </extension>
Packaging the component
Content of your code directory
- helloworld.xml
- site/index.html
- site/helloworld.php
- site/views/index.html
- site/views/helloworld/index.html
- site/views/helloworld/view.html.php
- site/views/helloworld/tmpl/index.html
- site/views/helloworld/tmpl/default.xml
- site/views/helloworld/tmpl/default.php
- admin/index.html
- admin/helloworld.php
Create a compressed file of this directory or directly download the archive and install it using the extension manager of Joomla!1.6. You can add a menu item of this component using the menu manager in the backend.
