Joomladays nl 2009 - Joomla 1.5 native module programming
On Saturday, June 13, 2009 Peter Martin did a parallelsessie at the Joomla Day 2009 about programming a module for Joomla 1.5. The presentation + sample material is now available for download.
The presentation on Joomla 1.5 native Module development was built in three parts:
- a general section on Modules,
differences with Plugins and Components,
how modules, components and plugins work together,
and programs (tools) to develop extensions for Joomla; - the development of a simple example module (mod_db8latestweblinks_simple.zip) to show the last added web links,
including the use of parameters for behavior and design,
and language files; - the development of the same sample module but according to the Model-Controller-View (MVC) architecture (mod_db8latestweblinks_mvc.zip).
Note 1: the two modules (_simple & _mvc) have the same names and can not simultaneously be installed on a Joomla website.
Note 2: The modules contain PHP4 compatible code (like "&" call-by-reference).
