Perhaps what you are looking for is in joomla_root/libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php ... /** * Utility function to read the files in a folder * * @param string $path The path of the folder to read * @param string $filter A filter for file names * @param mixed $recurse True to recursively search...

You need to establish a connection with the database. Use the following to accomplish this: $db =& JFactory::getDBO(); The next "Joomla!" step would be to create your SQL query $query = 'SELECT field FROM tablename"; Often in other components or modules you will see the next line ...

Id like to change the "generic.png" icon in an component i'm working on. Where is the directory where its placed ?

joomla_root/administrator/templates/khepri/images/header/generic.png

The key is to look at the icon.css file in the khepri template.

name="title" in the input field <-- binds to a database field named "title" I don't think this is quite correct and may be the source of dimsum's problem. It appears that the fields to be added to the database must have BOTH name= and id= . I was having a similar problem with hi...

Code: Select all

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$user_type = $user->get('usertype');

radiant_tech

Sounds like you want the language file ... joomla_root/language/yourlanguage/yourlanguage.com_contact.ini

Consider rewriting it as $db = &JFactory::getDBO(); $num = 1; $db->setQuery('SELECT * FROM #__recipe WHERE id = ' . $num); $row = $db->loadAssocList(); echo $row['title'] . '<br />'; echo $row['ingredients'] . '<br />'; echo $row['directions'] . '<br />'; $row should be an associative array of a...

I'm assuming you are writing this for J! 1.5.x. You have the right idea as far as the controller is concerned. Your display() method in the controller could look something like: function display() { $view = JRequest::getVar('view'); JRequest::setVar('view', $view); parent::display(); } Then create a...

where's that 'items' template? joomla_root/components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/default_items.php The 'default.php' is the header portion of the page and 'default_items.php' handles the item list. If you haven't considered it already, you should save your revised files as a template override ...

radiant_tech

Well, lacking a location where it is spelled out, perhaps print out your configuration.php file and compare the values to the Global Configuration screenshots on this page.

The error would indicate that it expects $row to be an object, but it is not.
Have you included the tables subdirectory and related table file in your component?

radiant_tech

Instead of including the getVar method within the assignRef method, set the variable first and then pass the variable to assignRef(). Such as

Code: Select all

$name = JRequest::getVar( 'name','', 'post', 'string');
$this->assignRef('name', $name);

radiant_tech

Perhaps you are missing the hidden field with the component name on the page?

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_yourcomponent" />

If you are running J! 1.5.x, you can get the user_id with

Code: Select all

$user = &JFactory::getUser();
$user_id = $user->get('id');

I haven't found a way yet to accomplish this using the menu system as is. My suggestion about creating a module would not cause the user to click more than once. By using a module, the user information is gathered as the page is created and the link that is generated would have the user info appende...

radiant_tech

Is it a must that the link be part of a menu? You might consider creating a module (its appearance on the Front-end could be simply a clickable image), but that would allow you to collect the username or userid and append it to the URL and then redirect them to the external site.

Assuming you are using J!1.5, create an override for the mod_login template file. Open joomla_root/modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php and save it as joomla_root/templates/yourtemplate/html/mod_login/default.php . Then edit the input boxes for the username and password fields. Change <input id="...

radiant_tech

Is that because the link is external (non-Joomla! content)?

Stu,

Have a look at this article in the Documentation Wiki.

Stu,

This Jpagination page in the Documentation Wiki that I've been working on should help.

Sorry for my confusion. You are likely looking for the file in com_contact that generates the form, and more specifically for the "postcode" input box (at least that is what it is named in 1.5). It will look something like this: <input class="inputbox" type="text" name=...

Anu is referring to the ChronoForms extension, listed here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1508/Itemid,35/ At any rate anu24365, given that this is an Extension (thus not something supported directly by Joomla! team members), have you tried contacting t...

Unless we are looking at different pages, I don't see such a small limitation on the Contacts input form. (Although my experience with J! is 1.5 only.) In 1.5, the field on the input form is 60 chars up to a maximum of 100, and the database field will hold a maximum of 100 chars.

Open the Menu Manager for Main Menu. Locate the menu item for your component (assuming you have added this to the menu). Click the checkbox next to it and then click Default (the star) in the toolbar at top right.

While not a perfect solution, remember that you can still search with Google and retrieve a cached version from the previous forum. This helped me tremendously yesterday.

radiant_tech

Woo hoo! This would really be helpful for those of us who would like to help bring more popular extensions into full 1.5 compatibility. Looking forward to it.

saratoga, glad to see you found a friend to help with the sql statement. I got preoccupied with other things last night and didn't get back to the forum. O3car, The fields listed in the query match those in the jos_content table for 1.5.1 with two exceptions: alias and metadata have been...

I wrote something similar to this for a publishing company that needed to transfer several years worth of articles into a mySQL database for another CMS. It helped a great deal that all of the articles were saved into year/month/ subdirectories on their server (the year and month designations ...

And there it is! lol I knew it was something simple. Thanks!!

While in the process of building a component for J!1.5, my forehead has developed a few bruises over adding certain buttons to the Admin toolbar. So far, I've been able to add: title, deleteList, save, and cancel. However, attempting to use editNew or editNewX (as was shown in the MVC tutorial...
