Hi there,

how about creating a snippets page or a cook book for specific joomla coding problems or tasks like .. adding a jcalendar.. a button... uploading files etc... the snippets should be small in the size of code.

I think this would be a great source for the experienced (and newbies too) developer who just isn't familiar with the joomla framework. Today, I read many hours the source code of joomla but I didn't get that far until I dived in the JCode 101 Skype-Chat.

What do you think ??

Regards, Alex

Hey Alex -

I love that idea! Would you help get it rolling by contributing the answer that Ian gave you in Skype to the question you asked in this thread?

I think the easiest way to get those snippets is to capture answers from experts, like Ian. If you just post it in the forums, it will start to add up and we can collect them into a cookbook, I think.

I encourage anyone to do that - the Think Tank is probably a good place to drop those snippets of code (or the moderators will move it to a better place.)

Very cool - thanks!

Hi Amy,

I will start such a thread 'cause I think it's very handy for many coders out there !

A good morning from germany 

You ROCK!  I will certainly add to your thread. Thanks for taking the initiative to do so, we need contributors - and that is exactly what you are doing.

Cheers from Nebraska, middle of the US!

Great Idea!!!!!!!

And surely it must be somewhere more accessible.
