Step By Step Installation of Joomla 1.5 component
Hello World
Introduction:
A "hello world" program is a classic software program that prints "Hello world!" on a display device.
It's very popular introductory tutorial for teaching a programming language or an application framework.
Such a program is typically one of the simplest programs possible.
This Joomla 1.5 "hello world" component is not an exception. I will keep it as simple as possible.
The main purpose of this component is to encourage joomla developers to implement joomla 1.5 components and
my personal goal is to sort out my thoughts of "clean" component. Believe or not I' m also just a joomla developer learner.
If you have any comments please go to
developers joomla1.5 forum
My next tutorial will be "hello world" using the new MVC framework included in Joomla! 1.5, so keep in touch.
- Install joomla 1.5 beta 1
-my
personal tip is to use xampplite
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
this package contains all we need to try joomla.
Pros
:
- it doesn't
install any rubbish
- we don't need to be afraid of getting interfere with our registry or services
- easy to install
- simple and portable (pack, copy, unpack, use; easy to change a directory path)
- Download component from website
http://www.vojtechovsky.net/joomla/com_helloworld.zip
- Log in joomla as Administrator user
Extensions->”Install/Uninstall”
- Press “Browse”
button and find you downloaded file com_helloworld.zip on your
computer.
- Install component
by pressing “Upload File & Install“button.
- Test
Administration module
- Make menu for our new component
Menus -> Main Menu
-> New -HelloWorld(double click) ->Name: Show me HelloWORLD!
- Let's show me new component
Go to your joomla
website and click on Show me HelloWORLD!link
- What about component localization?
You will need to have
installed czech language package. It's not finished in joomla 1.5 yet so let's
cheat a little.
Copy “cs-CZ”
folder from your joomla installation folder
(e.g.
c:\web\xampplite\htdocs\j15\installation\language\cs-CZ) to your
language folder and your administrator language folder.
(e.g.
c:\web\xampplite\htdocs\j15\language\cs-CZ and
c:\web\xampplite\htdocs\j15\administrator\language\cs-CZ )
If you didn't prepare
it before the component instalation you have to uninstall/install the
component.
Let's make some
testing.
Go to Administrator
section and select Czech language for both site/administrator as
DEFAULT!
Go to component
administration/joomla site and see the component text in czech.
- Check out the joomla system log file
[joomla folder ] + \logs\error.log
(e.g. c:\web\xampplite\htdocs\j15\logs\error.log )
