I would like to start making my own components, however I only found one tutorial @ mambohut.com.
Currently I have Joomla 1.0 installed for testing and the tutorial at mambohut doesn't work for me. Can anyone point me to right direction on how to create component from scratch? Thank you.

this one by devbay also rocks!

One more thing, I know you didn't write any component yet, but it might save you some hours! NAME YOUR FILES ALL IN LOWERCASE and also in the name tag inside the XML file enter something in lowercase! Combining lower/upper case doesn't make any problem in installation, but then when you click on your component buttons you'd see nothing! I killed myself tonight to figure it out  :-*

I have listed these tutorials in order of usefulness for our company. Special attention is recommended for the documents at help.joomla.org that discuss patTemplate, Joomla's upcoming template engine. We will all be working with patTemplate in the development of components and modules in the very near future - in fact you can start right now with the included patTemplate library in Joomla 1.0.1.

Component tutorials

    * http://help.joomla.org/content/view/773/125/
    * http://help.joomla.org/content/view/774/125/
    * http://devbay.com/content/view/15/43/
    * http://www.moxleystratton.com/articles/mambocom/
    * http://www.jlleblanc.com/content/view/9/54/
    * http://www.jlleblanc.com/content/view/12/54/ (using Mambo's tabbed interface in the admin backend)
    * http://www.jlleblanc.com/content/view/21/54/ (howto utilize WYSIWYG editors and the built-in calendar in your component)

Module tutorials

    * http://help.joomla.org/content/view/20/125/&nbsp; (writing a simple module)
    * http://help.joomla.org/content/view/775/125/ (Hello World Module 1)
    * http://help.joomla.org/content/view/776/125/ (Hello World Module 2)
    * http://help.joomla.org/content/view/777/125/ (Hello World Module 3)
    * http://www.jlleblanc.com/content/view/13/54/ (create a simple module)

Additional resources

    * patTemplate tutorial:
      http://help.joomla.org/content/section/21/182/
    * Here's a great tutorial from help.mamboserver.com that doesn't seem to be on help.joomla.org about writing XML files with DOMIT!:
      http://help.mamboserver.com/index.php?o ... &Itemid=64
    * Chapter 8. Access Control from the Developer Manual discusses Joomla's usage of phpGACL:
      http://help.joomla.org/content/view/25/162/
    * using phpDocumentor with your localized version of Joomla:

The helloworld1 component tutorial at http://help.joomla.org/content/view/773/125/ does not work. I get this error message:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The page you are trying to access does not exist.
Please select a page from the main menu.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the other components, none of them have a tmpl directory as used in the tutorial.

I am using Joomla 1.0.3.

works fine for me:
Quote:
Hello World 1 - The first steps    PDF    Print    E-mail
Hello World
Introduction
If anyone has every picked up a book on programming, the first things they get you to do is complete a very simple exercise to write "Hello World" on the screen.  This is usually a very exhilarating experience when you complete it because you know you are on the way to bigger and better things.

This tutorial aims to give you a grounding in the basic concepts for writing Joomla Components.  It will develop a very simple Hello World Administrator component using patTemplate for the presentation layer.
Requirements
You need for this tutorial:

    * Joomla 1.0 or greater

clearing your cache might help

Thanks for the reply. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a difference in our Joomal setups.

I cleared my cache, then my cookies, and it still isn't working for me. I also deleted the tutorial files I created and then uploaded the download files from the tutorial, and those don't work for me, either.

Are you using Joomla 1.0.3. Also are you using SEF?

Sunburst - could I interest you in compiling a list of Joomla Component Tutorials and adding them as a sticky to the FAQ section of this forum? That would be awesome.

Below is a wonderful and useful list that gsbe has compiled which i'm adding to it (the ones marked with * is gsbe's list and the ones i've added are marked with - ). Note, you may find some of them are for Mambo but they might be just as useful:

@gsbe I can't make this a sticky in the FAQ forum, so i'll notify the mods from that forum to see if they can split this post and stick it in the FAQ forum. Of course, this depends on how useful they think this list is.

thanks,

sunburst
