Demo Component: Open for Discussion

[uweD]

Hi Guys,

I wrote this demo component a little while ago. The component is called 'messagboard' and offers the user to leave a message which gets stored in the table 'jos_messageboard'.

The intention is

a) to show a working example of a small component so that other 'Joombies' have a starting point to develop their own
b) to start a discussion how to make it better - I would be really great full for any comments showing me where I did go wrong!

If you want to read up on how I developed this component please feel free to visit http://www.uwe-duesing.com/index.php/joomla-blog#component.

So, feel free to have a look, the component can be installed using the joomla! installer in the back end. I tested it and it installs properly and de-installs properly, too. However, please be sure not use this component anywhere else but in your testing environment.

I think it sounds like a good start for a Joomla-based ticket system. What do you think?

It's pretty late in my time-zone but I will take a look at it tomorrow.

Hope it will make my understanding of MVC system better.

Thanks for your work.

tutorials to the list.  Not saying that it is better or anything...it's just nice to have a few helping hands out there 
I am going to go through your tutorial in more detail as I am building my component.  I'll let you know what I come up with.
Thanks again.

Hi,

Feel free to add a link pointing to my site...

I have not done any work on that tutorial for a long time now. I am currently working on a new project which I will document in a more structured way.


Cheers,

Uwe
