The Joomla! Forum™

Hi, I want to send email(s) from within the extension I'm creating, at the moment I use: JUtility::sendMail($email , $name, $emailto, $subject, $message) Which works, but I'm not sure how the mails are actually send, does this use the global email settings from Joomla (phpmailer / Sendmail / SMTP) ?...

I fully understand your reluctance to hack joomla by installing something like JACL, and I was also disappointed to find out that 1.5 lacked better ACL. I never regretted installing JACL however because it has worked flawless over here for over a year now and I really needed those extra levels. Good...

For 1.0 or 1.5 take a look at JACL from byostech, works fine over here.
For 1.5 a new addition is being developed named ROKacl, still waiting for that to be released...

OK, This is my first venture into the 1.5 world... I wanted to learn to make a 1.5 component while at the same time avoiding the 'Hello World' road ;-) It turned out to be a simple contactform according the MVC concept but with localization and ACL. I haven't had the time to truly document it, but I...

You don't need SVN to download my example.
Just go to JoomlaCode and the jBeginners project, you'll find my component under the SVN tab.

Did you try the Wrapper ?

Well, I guess if I can figure it out, anybody can. Basically the instructions on document wiki are OK, but it assumes you've got PHP 5 installed while most hosts over here still use PHP4. So locally I'm also set up for PHP4 which had me struggled for a bit because I needed a different xdebug dll, al...

Well, thought I setup things over here as suggested in the documentation wiki....not the easiest way in my opinion. Maybe it has to grow on you, but learning php, mysql and joomla is easier than getting to grips with eclips, xdebug and SVN, at least for now. I thought I was doing just fine with drea...

Thanks, I'll give eclipse a try.

PDF is the only one missing from here:

I would prefer PDF as well.

Alfred, you can, as well! Well, who am I to refuse such an offer... I joined and just let's wait and see how it develops from there, at least I already did have some result from our chat session yesterday. That part now works thanks to Ian. So having a fresh pair of eyes looking at some stuff alway...

Well, me.........

Basically what I produce is not very 'high-end' and mostly very custom, so not intended to be distributed or usefull to anybody.

But if you're offering 

It all depends on what and how much you want to change. You can either change your template or if it is just the layout of a component you have to take a look at the html file of the particular component. In v1.5 case com_weblinks is made by the new method so you would find it in de components/com_w...

As this is a beginner's thread and I definitely fall into that category here's my 2 cents: What is your favorite book on PHP, classes etc Boy, I don't know i'f I'd call it a favorite, but I only have "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Welling/Thompson What is your favorite IDE for coding PHP When I ...

Wes, Can it be done in Joomla ? Sure! It sounds like something CommunityBuilder can do from scratch, so take a look at that first. If you decide to make something on your own, start with the tutorials on the joomla site or the tutorials or the book from Joseph Leblanc. Community Builder: http://www....

I am also eager to start learning developing some extensions for Joomla. My first component is coming along just fine. I found a lot of help in the joomla documentation: http://dev.joomla.org/component/option,com_jd-wiki/Itemid,/id,tutorials:components/ Also the book about 1.5 Extension Development ...
