Dieser Artikel ist Teil des Tutorials „Entwickeln einer MVC-Komponente für Joomla 4.x“. Er ist als Serie einer Programmieranleitung gedacht. Wenn Sie also die vorherigen Teile des Tutorials nicht gelesen haben, sollten Sie dies tun.
Adding the View
Though a component is split into "admin" and "site" parts, the process of adding a view is very similar in both. Just as in the basic view we made in the last article, we will require a controller, a view, and a template.
To get started, let's first create the new files for the site page. As before, the source code for each file can be found under File Details.
1 | Create: site/src/Controller/DisplayController.php | The default MVC Controller for the site part |
2 | Create: site/src/View/Hello/HtmlView.php | The MVC View object for the new "Hello" page |
3 | Create: site/tmpl/hello/default.php | The template for the new "Hello" page |
4 | Update: helloworld.xml | Need to add the new files to the component's manifest |
File Details
site/src/Controller/DisplayController.php
The default MVC controller in the site part. We have some basic code in here to fetch and render a view, but as before we're mostly delegating to the parent Joomla! class. As this is a PHP class, it lives under your PHP namespace root src/, in the Controller namespace.
<?php
namespace JohnSmith\Component\HelloWorld\Site\Controller;
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
use Joomla\CMS\MVC\Controller\BaseController;
use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
/**
* @package Joomla.Site
* @subpackage com_helloworld
*
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2020 John Smith. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU General Public License version 3; see LICENSE
*/
/**
* HelloWorld Component Controller
* @since 0.0.2
*/
class DisplayController extends BaseController {
public function display($cachable = false, $urlparams = array()) {
$document = Factory::getDocument();
$viewName = $this->input->getCmd('view', 'login');
$viewFormat = $document->getType();
$view = $this->getView($viewName, $viewFormat);
$view->document = $document;
$view->display();
}
}
site/src/View/Hello/HtmlView.php
The MVC view for this "Hello World" page. As before, this file simply delegates to the parent object to get us started. As this is a PHP class, it lives under src/, in the View/Hello namespace that matches the view's name.
<?php
namespace JohnSmith\Component\HelloWorld\Site\View\Hello;
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
use Joomla\CMS\MVC\View\HtmlView as BaseHtmlView;
/**
* @package Joomla.Site
* @subpackage com_helloworld
*
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2020 John Smith. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU General Public License version 3; see LICENSE
*/
/**
* View for the user identity validation form
*/
class HtmlView extends BaseHtmlView {
/**
* Display the view
*
* @param string $template The name of the layout file to parse.
* @return void
*/
public function display($template = null) {
// Call the parent display to display the layout file
parent::display($template);
}
}
site/tmpl/hello/default.php
The page template for our "Hello World" page in the site part. This is identical to the template we used in the admin part, to get us started. As a template, it lives under tmpl in a folder that matches the view's name.
<?php
/**
* @package Joomla.Administrator
* @subpackage com_helloworld
*
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2020 John Smith. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU General Public License version 3; see LICENSE
*/
// No direct access to this file
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted Access');
?>
<h2>Hello world!</h2>
helloworld.xml
Finally, let's update the component's manifest to include the new files. We need to tell Joomla! that the new files exist so that it will copy them into place. We'll also update the extension's version number in the manifest - right now, this has no real effect, but in the future changing the version number will have more significance so it's a good habit to get into.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="component" version="4.0" method="upgrade">
<name>Hello World</name>
<!-- The following elements are optional and free of formatting constraints -->
<creationDate>December 2020</creationDate>
<!-- Dummy author, feel free to replace anywhere you see it-->
<author>John Smith</author>
<authorUrl>https://smith.ca</authorUrl>
<copyright>John Smith</copyright>
<license>GPL v3</license>
<!-- The version string is recorded in the components table -->
<version>0.0.2</version>
<!-- The description is optional and defaults to the name -->
<description>
A hello world component!
</description>
<!-- This is the PHP namespace under which the extension's
code is organised. It should follow this format:
Vendor\Component\ComponentName
"Vendor" can be your company or your own name
The "ComponentName" section MUST match the name used
everywhere else for your component. Whatever the name of
this XML file is, the namespace must match (ignoring CamelCase).
-->
<namespace path="src/">JohnSmith\Component\HelloWorld</namespace>
<files folder="site/">
<folder>src</folder>
<folder>tmpl</folder>
</files>
<administration>
<!-- The link that will appear in the Admin panel's "Components" menu -->
<menu link="index.php?option=com_helloworld">Hello World</menu>
<!-- List of files and folders to copy, and where to copy them -->
<files folder="admin/">
<folder>services</folder>
<folder>src</folder>
<folder>tmpl</folder>
</files>
</administration>
</extension>
Updating the Extension
To test the changes to your extension, first you will need to zip up the com_helloworld folder and install it just as you did before. We'll go through the process step-by-step one more time here:
- Using your web browser, navigate to the Administrator panel of your Joomla! site. The address would be <joomla>/administrator/. For example: http://localhost/joomla/administrator/
- On the left menu, click the "System" link.
- On the "Install" card, click "Extensions".
- On the "Upload Package File" tab, browse for and select the .zip file you just created.
Once your new component version is installed, click the "System" link on the main menu again, then select "Extensions" on the "Manage" card this time. A list of the installed Joomla! extensions should appear. Type "hello" into the search bar at the top right and hit return. You should see your "Hello World" extension, now listed as version 0.0.2.
Testing the New Page
The new page has no menu link yet (we will add that in the next article) so to test it we'll need to use a direct URL. Go to <joomla>/index.php?option=com_helloworld&view=hello (not inside the /administrator path), and you should see your new "Hello World" site page appear.
Next, we will add menu configuration for this page, so that it can be used inside the Joomla! menu system.
