Notes

This tutorial is part of the Developing a MVC Component for Joomla! 3.x tutorial. You are encouraged to read the previous parts of the tutorial before reading this.

If you have used Joomla! before reading this tutorial, you have noticed that extensions are installed using a compressed file containing all the things which are needed for installing and uninstalling them.

You can follow the steps below to create the Hello World! component, or you can directly download the archive

Here are some slides based on this documents to explain how to create basic to advance Joomla! components.

How to add a component to Joomla!

In this article we will cover how to create and install a basic Joomla! component. For this example we will be working with the Hello World! component.

To begin, you must first use your preferred file manager to create a directory for the Hello World! component. This directory can be anywhere on your file system, as long as it outside of your Joomla! installation directory. For this example we will name the directory com_helloworld, but this directory can be named anything.

Next, inside this directory we need to create some files. Using your preferred file manager, create the following files; as you create the files, add the source code for each file which is found in File Details.

1	helloworld.xml	this is an XML (manifest) file that tells Joomla! how to install our component.
2	site/helloworld.php	this is the site entry point to the Hello World! component
3	site/index.html	prevents web server from listing directory content
4	admin/index.html	prevents web server from listing directory content
5	admin/helloworld.php	this is the administrator entry point to the Hello World! component
6	admin/sql/index.html	prevents web server from listing directory content
7	admin/sql/updates/index.html	prevents web server from listing directory content
8	admin/sql/updates/mysql/index.html	prevents web server from listing directory content
9	admin/sql/updates/mysql/0.0.1.sql	file allowing to initialise schema version of the com_helloworld component.

Installing the Hello World! Component

Using your preferred file manager, create a .zip file of this directory. For this example we will name the file com_helloworld.zip, again this file could have been named anything.

Now we need to install the Hello World! component. There are two ways to do this, both are covered in Installing an Extension. Here we will cover the method using the Extension Manager of Joomla!.

• Using your preferred web browser, navigate to the Administrator panel of your Joomla! site. The address would be <yoursite>/joomla/administrator/index.php. For this example we will navigate to localhost/joomla/administrator/index.php.
• Click Extensions  →  Manage  →  Install  →  Upload Package File  →  Choose File
• Navigate and Select File
• Click Upload & Install

Note - You should see a message letting you know if the installation succeeded or failed.

You can test this basic function of the component by entering the Hello World! page for the site and administrator portions of your Joomla! website.

• Using your preferred web browser, navigate to the Hello World! component page located on the site portion of your website. The address would be <yoursite>/joomla/index.php?option=com_helloworld. For this example we will navigate to localhost/joomla/index.php?option=com_helloworld.
• Using your preferred web browser, navigate to the Hello World! component page located on the administrator portion of your website. The address would be <yoursite>/joomla/administrator/index.php?option=com_helloworld. For this example we will navigate to localhost/joomla/administrator/index.php?option=com_helloworld.

You can also notice that the Hello World! component is visible in the administrator site of your Joomla installation under the Components menu.

File Details

admin/sql/updates/mysql/0.0.1.sql is an empty file allowing to initialise schema version of the com_helloworld component.

2	site/helloworld.php	this is the site entry point to the Hello World! component
3	site/index.html	prevents web server from listing directory content
