Sandbox

I am using the tutorial here:
http://help.joomla.org/content/view/773/125/

I get this error:
Warning: bases::require_once(***/includes/patTemplate/patTemplate.php) [function.bases-require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ***/administrator/components/com_bases/admin.bases.html.php on line 25

I can't find this patTemplate folder or files anywhere in joomla. I downloaded 1.5 again to make sure and it is not where the tutorial code indicates it should be. Can someone help me with this?

The tutorials on help.joomla.org are for Joomla! 1.0 and are not designed to be used with 1.5.  You should look at the tutorials on dev.joomla.org.

Thanks, but where are the tutorials like the one I posted? I see a blog, a wiki, a template tutorial, the API, etc. Where can I find a tutorial for making components in Joomla 1.5? I'd really appreciate a link, I have always found navigating the Joomla docs very confusing. I do development on several other third-party apps and have never had this much trouble finding a tutorial

I just need to make something very simple that gets records from a database, displays them in a form, and then updates. If a component isn't what I need that's fine, but I need it to be in the admin area so I can't use the php extensions for articles.

Thanks a ton for any help!

You click the link for 'Documentation Wiki' which takes you to: http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... Itemid,32/

On that page, there is a heading called 'Tutorials' and underneath is a link 'http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... omponents/'

The MVC tutorials are most up to date.

We are working on a bit of an overhaul in the next little while once 1.5 gets out the door.

Thank You!
